Reaching Champion rank in Oblivion Remastered's Arena is supposed to be a massive test of skill. Three different foes face you down from the Yellow Team's side of the fighting pit, bringing sharpshooting, spellcasting, and sheer martial might to bear against you. Scary, right? It is - unless you take a leaf from my book, which involves using one specific skill to devolve this grand spectacle into a chaotic scrap on the sand.
I'm playing Oblivion for the first time thanks to the remaster, but I'd long heard tell of its iconic Arena. Over a string of fights, any lowly Pit Dog can claw their way up the ladder to become its Champion, earning a decent salary for their wins in the process. Mastery of one of the game's combat systems seems to be an important part of the Arena's mythos, but you're free to approach it however you like – perhaps you go in with a gladiatorial sword and shield, or try to stay clear of an actual 'mano a mano' fight and pick off your foe at a distance with arrows or spells.
