[@vulpinitemplar5036]

I've done this sort of thing myself a few times, always fun having enemy AI fight each other, biggest problem I always had was picking the right arena, Hermit Crabs for instance really like to jump to their death. Personally prefer to have everything fight everything in 1v1s simply because I think it detaints the results given how chaotic and weird the matchups can be and such and Mithrix is real powerful but has some really goofy jank hitboxes so tends to easily get bullied by some real weird things, if he doesn't jump he runs the risk of getting his ankles ripped apart by a Lemurian as an example :b

[@trentomento]

Haha yeah there is definitely a good amount of jank, I wish there were more custom maps in the game but I just used each level stage for each round, so round 1 was stage 1s and round 2 was stage 2s and so on, would be cool to have an arena specifically for it

Assuming the bosses don’t get multiple stages I’d say that overloading worm wins. Going underground is strong. Although items are the most busted thing in ror so the most likely victor is twiptwip
