''Practice Channel:'' As the name implies, a channel for practice. MP regeneration is much faster than usual in the Practice channel, and both kills and match time are infinite. All players will have their stats heavily normalized, making gear nearly irrelevant. However, most sockets are left untouched, so having more sockets will give you an advantage. Due to HP being one of the normalized stats, some skills may have the ability to kill opponents in a single hit, such as [[Energy Spurt]] and [[Pain of Caladblog]]. This also causes both the Fire and Nature elemental effects to be much deadlier than in Arena.<br> | *''Practice Channel:'' As the name implies, a channel for practice.

''Free Channel:'' Functions closer to Arena PvP, but still suffers from the same stat normalization as the Practice Channel. More modes and options are available in Free Channel, such as being able to adjust kills and playtime, as well as access to the Team Match mode.<br> | *''Free Channel:'' Functions closer to Arena PvP, but still suffers from the same stat normalization as the Practice Channel.

''Competition Channel:'' Under normal circumstances, this channel is closed. It is only opened for official tournaments run by the staff of the server, and can only be accessed by the GMs and participants of the tournament.

''Survival:'' A free-for-all. The player with the most kills in the battle wins. This mode favors the usage of large area-of-effect skills, such as [[Generate Black Hole]] and [[Wind Ward]].<br><br> | *''Survival:'' A free-for-all.
