The Norn Fighting Tournament is a minigame introduced in Eye of the North. It involves facing varoius oppponents by yourself in an arena. To access the tournament, speak to Magni the Bison and Gellir Frostshield in Gunnar's Hold.

Purpose

Obviously, the key is to have a good solo build. This guide will outline the skills and tactics needed to beat the opponents you will face in the Norn Fighting Tournament.

Tactics

  • Your build must have:
    • Enough offence to win the fight (note that the enemies do not need to be completely killed, but simply reduced to about 10% of their HP)
      • This can be accomplished through direct damage or health degeneration.
    • Enough defense to survive the damage dealt do you by the enemies
      • This includes skills to block attacks, running skills to kite, and healing.

The type of builds that work are entirely self-sufficient, and include builds originally designed to gank in GvGs and solo farming builds.

Attribute Selection

Note that the Paragon primary attribute Leadership is actually still useful in the Tournament, even though it is a solo battle. This is because the spectators watching you fight count as allies.
