How to play Legends Arena

1. Sign the contract

Sign up with email or Google. Your account keeps the career in the cloud so you can switch between mobile and desktop mid-season.

2. Create your football player

Pick name, gender, nationality, face and strongest foot. Nationality gives percentage bonuses and penalties across attributes and shapes what kind of player suits you. You start with 150 points to spend.

3. Football school

Up to level 4 you play computer opponents in football school and on the training ground. That is where you learn the match engine without risking your career.

4. Graduation — the arena opens

From level 4 you can challenge real players, join the random queue, enter team games and sign up for tournaments.

5. Economy and gear

• •Coins come from matches and from passive activities like working shifts and combat training.
• •The market sells boots, protection and items — each piece needs strength and adds weight.
• •Gear wears down and needs repair; the hospital patches injuries.

6. Levels, points and retirement

Every level grants skill points for attributes and disciplines. Drop below zero energy and you end up in hospital; severe enough injuries retire the player permanently and you start a new career.
