TheArena Ferox (Japanese:フェリア闘技場Felia Arena) is a gladiatorial combatarena situated in the central-west ofRegna Ferox on the continent ofYlisse.

History

Every few years, the Arena Ferox houses the tournament in which the east and west khans of the nation compete to win the dominant position of "khan regnant" for the following few years, granting them total rule over both halves of Ferox and the powers to determine foreign policy and alliances.^[1] In each tournament, the khans are represented by chosen teams of gladiators or other warriors typically recruited from outside Ferox, believed to be a necessity to minimize potential conflicts borne as a result of the tournament or deaths therein.^[2]

During the last year of the reign of ExaltEmmeryn, the tournament was held between East-KhanFlavia and the regnant West-KhanBasilio. Seeking military support from Ferox in response to thePlegian threat, PrinceChrom ofYlisse and hisShepherds fought as Flavia's representatives. Basilio initially had his right-hand manLon'qu as his representative, leading a group of anonymous warriors, but prior to the tournament Lon'qu was defeated by "Marth", who took his place as the leader of the west's champions.^[3] Chrom won the tournament, elevating Flavia to the position of khan regnant and ensuring the alliance and support of Ferox in assisting Ylisse.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U

This article or section is a short summary of Arena Ferox. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article.

Arena Ferox is astage inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, as aNintendo 3DS exclusive unavailable in the Wii U version. Unlike itsAwakening appearance, the arena consists of a large stone platform in the middle of a deep pit, better facilitating the gameplay ofSuper Smash Bros.. The stage periodically transforms between at least four known configurations which have different arrays of platforms above the main stage body:

• The first version shown, consisting of four platforms evenly spaced above the stage (pictured right)
• A version with three platforms held up by a pair of statues, similar to the second Castle Siege room inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl
• A version with four platforms, two of which are attached to a gear mechanism and rotate around each other in a circle
• A version with an erratic set of five platforms held up by columns

In addition, like all stages in the game, there is also aFinal Destination configuration with no platforms at all, disabling the stage's transformation. This variant is used in the "For Glory" online gameplay mode.

Arena Ferox was also the setting of "By Book, Blade and Crest of Flame", the animated trailer which confirmedLucina andRobin as playable characters. The trailer depicts Lucina duelling withCaptain Falcon in the Arena Ferox, Chrom having already been defeated and badly wounded by Falcon.
