How a draft runs
- The heroes appear at random. Each round, each player is offered three different heroes and keeps one.
- Once both have five heroes, each bans one hero from the other's deck, then the battle starts.
Change heroes

- Once per match, for each player.
4 against 4
- After the bans, the four heroes left on each side fight: 4 against 4.
The lent heroes
- In the Draft Arena lobby, Hero info lists the heroes the mode provides, with their gear and stats.
- Heroes join or leave that list at regular intervals.
- Each one comes as a build: two sets, an artifact and, for some, an exclusive equipment option.
The heroes' roles
- The game tags each lent hero with one role: DPS, Bruiser, Debuffer, Support, Tank or Healer.
- Each build adds a line on what the hero does.
