🐘 ELJ Arena: Battle of the Tusks

A prequel to City of Brains. A spectacle for the masses. A meat grinder for the unlucky.

🎪 Welcome to the Greatest Show Before the End

Months before the outbreak, the region’s biggest attraction wasn’t a concert—it was carnage on four tusks. ELJ Arena, built in the chemical-drenched shadows of the mountains, offered “family-friendly” entertainment with just a hint of irreversible trauma.

Now, you can ride the line between glory and processing in Battle of the Tusks—a 3v3v3 elephant-mounted multiplayer battleground where each team is a trio of specialists riding a single elephant into chaos.

⚔ Pick Your Role. Ride or Die.

Players form three-person teams atop war elephants, each member taking on a distinct role: the fearless Mahout (driver), the agile Howdah Warrior (combat specialist), and the all-seeing Luminary (tactical commander). Victory means fame, fortune, and maybe a hot meal. Defeat? Don’t ask what’s in the concession stand...

Every team needs a:

🐘 Mahout (The Driver)

Steers the elephant, controls charges and dashes, and can go anywhere on the map—immune to ground damage.

🏹 Howdah Warrior (The Fighter)

Grabs victory points, boards enemy elephants, and fights with a mix of ranged and melee weapons. Vulnerable on the ground—agility is survival.

🧠 Luminary (The Commander)

Sees from above with a top-down view, commands team strategies, drops AOE attacks, and keeps the squad alive with buffs and heals.

Each role plays totally different. Each has a voice, a view, and a reason to panic.

💀 This Isn’t Just a Game. It’s a Grinder.

On the surface, it’s all neon lights and animal-themed merch.

Look closer.

• Meat trucks leave every night.
• Grandma Liu’s kebabs never quite taste the same.
• The stables echo with elephant cries that sound... off.

There’s something glowing in the waste barrels, and it’s not love.

A Spectacle Built on Secrets

The arena's dazzling glow masks something darker. Street vendors sling mystery meat with suspicious enthusiasm. Old champions hobble past on crutches, muttering about “retirement.” The green glow in the elephants' eyes? Totally normal.

Explore the concourse between matches: grab tactical waffles from WWE (Waffles Waffles Everywhere), test illegal sonic weapons disguised as guitars, or chat with nervous janitors who know way too much about what's under the arena. Victory points earn glory. Coconuts revive your team. Everything else... gets recycled.

Teaser Quotes from the Arena:

Jumbo Jack, DealMart Vendor

Step right up, future champion! Jumbo Juice or escape map—your choice! Just don’t ask what’s glowing in the stables. 😅

Grandma Liu, Kiwk Kebab Matron

Today's meat is REAL goat. Yesterday's losers? That’s someone else’s problem. 🤫

The Ringmaster, Arena Overseer

Our retirement program is industry-leading. Competitors go out on top... or at least in one piece. 😏

Gameplay at a Glance

• ⚔ Three Roles, One Elephant: Every team needs a Mahout to steer, a Howdah to fight, and a Luminary to command.
• 🎯 Victory Points Decide the Match: Grab objectives, survive, and outwit rival teams across dynamic 3v3v3 arenas.
• 🐘 Coconuts Revive Elephants: Use them wisely... or turn them in for more firepower.
• 🔥 Arena Zones Include:
  • Flex Appeal Gym (training + addiction!)
  • MegaSports Gift Shop (rigged odds, rigged merch)
  • VIP Lounge (rewards for winners… and subtle foreshadowing)
  • Food Court Buff Zones (consume with caution)

🎮 How to Win (Or At Least Not Get Processed)

You don’t need the most kills to win a match. Victory is earned in multiple ways:

• 🏆 Victory Point Collectibles: Spawn around the map—some only visible to Luminaries.
• 📦 Cargo Raids: Destroy enemy elephant cargo to weaken their team’s standing.
• 🧠 Survival Bonus: Stay alive longer than the others, and the crowd loves you more.
• 🎯 Objective Control: Seize control points in unique battle zones (The Ruins, Jungle Circuit, Desert Fortress).

Killing’s great, sure. But the best teams out-strategize, not just out-slaughter.

🧃 Coconuts, Contracts, and Consequences

You start each match with a coconut—it’s your team’s one shot at reviving your elephant. Use it wisely... or trade it for firepower.

And don’t get too attached to that shiny new weapon you just bought from HuntingZone.

If you die, you drop everything. If another team loots your stuff? It’s theirs now. 💼 Inventory is persistent—until it’s stolen.

🛠️ Built for the Hardcore. Balanced for the Insane.

ELJ Arena was built from the circuit board up in UEFN, with a custom-designed inventory and currency system. Every item you purchase, every buff you apply, and every victory you earn is tracked.

Lose a match? You lose the loot. Win a round? Your base gets new gear. Trade your coconut for a bonus slot? Hope you don't need it later.
