The sorcerer didn’t set up the arena with the aim of making it easy, that much is for sure. The challenges you will face as you travel through its twists and turns will only get harder and harder, so it is vital that you get to grips with all the basics before you find yourself to far down the road, where the really nasty opponents are waiting.

There’s a lot going on in Disney Arena on PC, so you could be forgiven for being slightly overwhelmed as you make your way through the first few steps of the tutorial. But, never fear, we here at BlueStacks are always on hand to help! With our beginner’s guide, you’ll be busting your way through the Arena in no time.

Pay attention to your team

This may seem obvious, but without your team of Disney heroes you’re really not going to get far in the arena. Given that they do all the fighting on your behalf, it’s really rather important that you keep your team at the very top of their game. As tempting as it is to try and unlock as many characters as quickly as possible, your best bet to begin with is to try and curb that instinct and instead focus on keeping your current heroes sharp and effective. As fun as it is to have new characters on the team, it takes an awful lot of resources to get them up to fighting level, whereas your current team will already have been upgraded to a fairly high standard anyway. Sure, add new characters to your team over time, but always prioritize your current fighters over your new acquisitions.

To this end, you’ll want to make sure you take regular breaks from battling through the arena to show your heroes a little bit of TLC. The resources needed to upgrade your characters (more on that in our levelling up guide) will stack up quickly in your inventory as you move from fight to fight, and before you know it you’ll have plenty of Level up Potions and pieces of gear to make a real difference to your team’s performance. Unfortunately, they can’t make that all important difference if they’re stuck in your bag, so you absolutely must take the time to upgrade your heroes on a regular basis. If there is one key to success in Disney Arena, this is it.

Keep an eye out for red dots

There is a lot going on in the arena at any given moment, so it can be fairly easy to miss an event or a giveaway that could be just what you need to bring your team up to that next level. From daily login rewards to promotions that land in your in-game inbox, try to keep an eye out for the red notification icons sitting on buttons and play areas. These colourful dots are your best friends in the arena, as they will tell you when there is loot to be collected, a quest to be completed or a task to be done. Not all notifications have to be delt with straight away, and some you may even choose to ignore once you have actually checked what they are notifying you of, but you should at least make an effort to check all available red dots. They could be notifying you of the next big thing that will launch your gameplay into the higher leagues.

It is important to stress that you do not need to complete all red dot tasks as soon as you see them, in particular if the red dot in question relates to the upgrading of characters in your collection. The thing is, as mentioned above, you won’t always have enough resources to upgrade all of your team members, which means you may have to prioritize slightly. As a result, you will have to get used to red dot notifications on your collection tab telling you that your characters who you have specifically and knowingly left un-upgraded have available level-ups and promotions. Some people may find this annoying; others may not care at all. Either way, it’s a fact of the Arena, so it’s something we all have to get used to.

Don’t Ignore the quests

Unlike in many games, quests are not billed as the most important part of the Disney Arena. Sure, they have their own tab on the main page, but your attention tends to be drawn more towards the main storyline and the battles therein, rather than completing you daily list of quests. The thing is, those daily quests can be pretty lucrative, delivering XP, gold, level up potions and more in fairly significant quantities. Plus, the quests aren’t actually that hard! May of them you will probably complete just in the course of your normal gameplay, so make sure you check in every now and then to claim your prizes and loot.

If you manage to complete all of your daily quests, there is a slightly bigger prize, usually consisting of at least one character token, waiting for you at the end of the day. Given the rarity of character tokens, any opportunity to get your hands on them should be taken very seriously, so don’t pass up this golden chance.

Speaking of tokens, there are also one-off lifetime quests that you can complete throughout your entire career in the arena. These are naturally more challenging than your daily quests, although they will also be completed every now and then just through your normal gameplay and levelling up. The rewards for these quests consist of diamonds and character tokens, so keep an eye on those as well if you want to get your hands on some rare valuables.

Whether you want to claim each quest as it comes in or wait and grab your loot in batches, our advice is just to make sure that you do check in every now and then to see what quests you’ve managed to complete. Many of the resources you get rewarded with will come in very useful as you travel the arena, so it would be a shame to leave them unclaimed in the quests tab.
