Arenas
Arenas (or Maps, as described in the Patch Notes) are the fields where Corestrike matches are played. The arena has a rectangular shape with diagonal corners. When Strikers are knocked back into the top, bottom, or side edges, they are Knocked Out and temporarily removed from play. Before Striker Select, a random variant of the arena is selected for the match.
Goal Features
The two goals are on the left and right ends of the arena, and start each round closed by Goal Gates, physical objects that protect each team's net from being scored on. Each arena features a different layout of Goal Barriers, areas on the ground that can only be touched by the Core. After the Core hits one, it will disappear for the remainder of the round. Shortly after a team's last barrier falls, their Goal Gates will open, granting the enemy team the ability to score.
Goal Arc
Goal Arcs are the color-striped areas on the ground in front of each Goal. Standing within your own team's Goal Arc grants 125 Knockback Resistance and halves the duration of negative status effects such as being Banished or Stunned
Power Orbs
All Arenas contain Power Orbs, powerful neutral objectives that spawn at predetermined intervals. Collecting a Power Orb grants Strikers a heal of 7.5% to 30% Stagger (more healing when more damaged), 15 Experience, and 7.5 Energy.
The first Power Orbs in a round spawn 10 seconds after the round has started, and a new set spawns every 20 seconds afterwards. Their spawn locations appear 3 seconds before they spawn. Each set spawns 1 Power Orb at the midfield line and 1 in both team's Goal Arcs, randomly on the top or bottom half of the Arena. If multiple Strikers are standing on a Power Orb when it spawns, all of them gain its benefits.
Overtime
After 60 seconds have passed during a round, the game enters Overtime. For the rest of the round, until a goal is scored, all Core Knockback effects are increased by 20%.

All Strikers on the map will have their own Hijinx buff which will grant the following:
- 125 Move Speed
- 75 Power
- 30 Ability Haste
- 35% Size
- Note: the maps are larger so the size isn't particularly apparent but missiles and movement abilities cover relatively less distance
- Increased in-game experience gain.
Map Features
Map Features are unique obstacles or alterations to each map.
- Ahten City
- There are 6 Power Orb spawn spots on the map instead of 3.
- One large Goal Barrier.
- Ai.Mi's App
- Center of the map has a hole that acts as a map edge, Knocking Out strikers knocked back into it and bouncing the Core away.
- Only one Goal Barrier.
- Atlas's Lab
- Center of the map has a gravity well. The Gravity Well affects both players and the Core. The Core will arc if hit into the gravity well. If a player or Core hits the center of the well it will explode, dealing a large amount of damage and knockback to everything in the well's radius. Once exploded, the Gravity Well will respawn in 20 seconds, with a red circular timer on the ground indicating when it is respawning.
- Clarion Test Chamber
- The Test Chamber is an indoor Arena with 5 different ‘variants.’ Before each round, the Arena morphs into a new variant, changing its terrain and incorporating a new mechanic based on the powers of other strikers. After each Set, the variants reset; however, variants will not repeat within a set.
| Variant | Probability (%) | Effect | Variant Preview |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Bass Drop | 20 | Speaker bumpers on the corners of the arena activate when Strikers or the Core are Knocked into them, pushing them away at high speed. | 
|
| Project Expanse | 20 | When the center diamond is touched by any Striker or the Core, it creates a large field similar to  Atlas' secondary, hitting away Strikers and the Core on contact while shrinking over time.
|
|
| Project Maelstrom | 20 | A large sphere in the center with a visible 1500 Stagger bar empowers the Striker that destroys it with the following:
After being destroyed, it respawns after 20 seconds.
|
|
| Project Obscura | 20 | Purple aura areas on the top and bottom of the arena cause Stagger damage over time while Strikers stand within them. Staggered Strikers are massively slowed by 90% and continue to take damage, rendering them unable to naturally heal until they leave the aura. | 
|
| Project Xeno | 20 | Invisibility vent areas on the top and bottom of the arena turn Strikers invisible while they stand within them, similar to  Drek'ar's secondary. They are temporarily revealed while casting abilities.
|
|
- Demon Dais
- Unique single Goal Barrier setup that requires the Core to hit the barrier twice to fully break. Upon either team's barrier being hit once, speakers on the top and bottom of midfield activate, constantly pushing nearby Strikers and the Core away. When either team's barrier is hit twice and disappears, the speakers affect a larger area.
- Gates of Obscura
- Inky's Splash Zone
- One large Goal Barrier that turns the corner behind it into a Knock Out zone for the rest of the round and spawns a switch on the ground in front of the Goal Barrier of the opposite team when broken. When touched, a giant cannon massively pushes both Strikers and the Core with a diagonal water blast after a brief delay. A red circular timer on the ground will appear after the cannon fires and the switch will respawn when the circle completes.
- Striker respawn points are on the opposite corner of the team's Goal Barrier instead of the corner they usually are.
- Night Market
- Center of the map has 2 horizontal walls in the center of the map with a Speed Gate in-between them. A Striker or Core that passes through the Speed Gate will increase in speed for a few seconds. After being used, the Speed Gate will respawn in 4 seconds, with a green circular timer on the ground indicating when it is respawning. If multiple Strikers and/or the Core are between the Speed Gate when it is touched, all of them receive the speed boost.
- Oni Village
- Along the top of and bottom sides are permanent Speed Boosters. Both Strikers and the Core gain a 30% movement speed buff when touching them that persists briefly after when moving off of them.
- Taiko Temple
- One large drum block in the center of the map activates when Strikers or the Core are Knocked into them, pushing them away at high speed.
- 8 small drums on the walls of the map activate when Strikers or the Core are Knocked into them, pushing them away at high speed. After a small drum is struck, it cannot activate again for a few seconds, indicated by a circular timer on the drum.
