In this guide, we’re going to cover the best approach to earn materials necessary to further progress your roster. This will be through Campaign Battles, Arena, and Leagues.

Quick Navigation

Campaign Battles

Campaign battles are preset teams you battle against to win a variety of rewards. These have a Normal and Heroic difficulty option. Heroic difficulty battles will offer improved rewards, but the Normal difficulty version must be completed to unlock Heroic. Heroic battles offer a guaranteed Hero Shard for the featured hero and are also a great way to obtain higher level gear for the heroes on your roster.

Once you have completed the Heroic difficulty battle and all heroes on your team survive, you’ll receive a 3 Star completion. As a result, you can then utilize Sim Chips to instantly complete the battle and obtain the rewards. While these battles grant XP Capsules, the characters on the team will not receive XP when using a Sim Chip. Sim Chips can be obtained from packs in the Store, Basic Chests, Daily Login Bonuses, Daily Objectives, or through the Campaign.

When you receive duplicate gear items from completing these battles, you can shatter them by using the “Shatter Duplicate Gear” button in the roster menu.

You can then apply this rewarded Gear Material to further progress the gear equipped on your heroes. Gear upgrades are covered further here in our Intermediate Guide!

Arena

In the Arena you will face off against AI-controlled teams built by other players. Progressing your way up the leaderboard will increase your rewards tier and result in improved rewards. The leaderboard is live from the beginning to the end of a season, and as other players compete and move up and down it can change your own ranking and reward tier, so keep an eye on your rank! You can confirm the time remaining in the season at the top of the Arena menu.

Each day you participate in the active season, you’ll receive a daily Arena reward of Credits. When the season has ended, you’ll then receive the rewards for your tier. All Arena rewards are delivered and claimed from your inbox.

Milestones

You can also obtain Milestone rewards when progressing during an Arena season. These rewards include Credits and XP Capsules aswell as Bonus Arena Medals depending on your Account level at the start of the season. When you have reached a milestone, you will claim these rewards in the battle completion screen. Milestone rewards reset when a new Arena season begins.

Arena Tips

The first battle of the day will grant a x2 battle score bonus.

Each hero on your roster can be utilized up to 5 battles a day by default. This is indicated by the blue icons under each character portrait. These are your remaining attempts or “pips”. While there are 5 attempts per day for each character as mentioned, you can also pay 20 Gems to refresh these pips up to twice a day. When a new Arena season starts, your default 5 pips will reset, but not your paid refreshes for the day.

When looking for an opponent, you can opt to scroll through different teams with varying threat levels. Selecting the “High” Up arrow and “Low” Down Threat arrows will cycle through these teams. The rewarded battle score is displayed on screen for each team.

Arena Store

In addition to Hero Shards, Credits, and Gems for completing an Arena season, you can also obtain Arena exclusive Medals. Here you can purchase Hero Shards, as well as Gear for Heroes that are obtained through Arena season rewards. The stock for each character is 3 purchases of 5 Hero Shards, you can pay 50 Gems to restock the Hero Shards store as well. The items will otherwise restock on their own every 24 hours.

Champion's Arena

The Champions Arena is a competitive arena that will put your best and strongest heroes to the test. In the Champions Arena, you can directly engage in single and multi-round battles with fellow Injustice 2 Mobile players. You can participate as soon as you reach account level 30.

During a Champions Arena event, you can select an opponent on the leaderboard to battle who is 3 ranks above or below you. Defeating an opponent will reward you Season Points on the event leaderboard. The higher the rank of your opponent, the more Season Points you will receive upon a victorious battle.

The Champions Arena features special rank rewards not found anywhere else in Injustice 2 Mobile! These rewards include Class Shards and Prismatic Shards. Note that these special shards are not applicable to Legendary Heroes.

For more about the Champion's Arena, please visit the full guide.

Versus Challenges

The Versus Challenges mode is a team-based Challenge mode that will run alongside the existing Challenges. This mode will have specific team requirements to face off against other featured sets of opponents to earn their Hero Shards.

An example shown here is in a Batman Ninja team Challenge. To face off against Robin and his team, we’ll need a Joker League of Anarchy team member. Each difficulty tier like standard Challenges, requires additional heroes from that team.

For the 2nd difficulty tier, we’ll need 2 members on our team to participate. If we advance to difficulty 3, all 3 members of the team will be required.

For more details on the benefits from each type of team, please visit our Team Synergy guide.

Leagues/Raids

Leaders and Officers of your League can start funding to begin a Raid. All players in the League can participate in donating Credits to fund it. The top 3 players who have donated will be displayed. This funding will vary in cost depending on the Raid difficulty selected.

Raid: Brainiac Collector of Worlds

When the Raid has been funded, an Officer or Leader will choose to start the battle against Brainiac! Each player can utilize 3 teams of 3 heroes from their roster a day to do their part in taking down the villains. In higher difficulty tiers 5 and 6, a hero can only be used once per raid. As of the 3.2 update, difficulty tiers 7 and 8 were added for an even greater challenge!

Your League will need to defeat 4 sub-bosses before facing Boss Brainiac, who has 4 phases to put your roster to the test. Be sure to use specific heroes that provide an added battle advantage! Select the “Hero Advantages” Button in the bottom left of the match-up screen just before starting to get an extra edge in the fight.
