What to study
The garden arena is the most legible of the Nexus Arena variants: pink umbrellas and cherry blossom mark the space, and the 0:00 countdown gates at both sides of the plaza make the timed mode readable at a glance without any extra panel. The three-card hand and team portraits carry over unchanged from the other arenas, so the gates alone signal what is different about this fight. Frame at about 131s in the Final Closed Beta Gameplay Showcase (YouTube). Pre-release footage; the Final Closed Beta begins November 25, 2026 and the game launches spring 2027. A Work in Progress / Subject to Change watermark is visible in the frame.
