Arena Rules Bug?

[Lancer]

I've noticed that arena rules, such as no armor or no shield only affect the player character and not the arena champion specifically. Is this intended? Made some fights outright unbeatable on rotating arena rules mode, had to wait for a different ruleset.

As of right now, Arena Champions do not follow the rules of the arena. I may change that in the future but they're pre-designed so it'd be a bit of a hassle.

Random Arena Rules are definitely not the 'standard' way to play and (kind of like higher difficulty) all bets are off when you're using random rules - more of an optional extra if you've beaten the game.

Do arena champions work differently on the default arena rules? I can't seem to remember from my previous playthrough.

They will follow the standard game arena rules ( eg not use special skills in special skills arenas ) and are designed so for example the champion in the 'no armour' arena is not wearing armour and so on ( I think Skeletrus is an exception because his helmet is part of his lore) , or the champion of a 'no swords' arena does not have a sword etc.

Random rules are chaos, not for the faint of heart.

Ah, I understand now. Thank you for your answer! I'll stick to standard arena rules from now on
