Challenging Friends

In Rise, In the Friends screen, you can invite other players to be your friend if you know their username. Once a player accepts, you can challenge them to a battle from here too. They receive a notification and if they accept, you start the battle by clicking ‘Start’ next to their name in the Friends screen.

Battles started through challenges work differently to normal battles, there is no timer and they can be played asynchronously. This means you don’t need to be online at the same time although that works too! In these battles, you can return to the main menu without having to forfeit. Later, you can go to the Friends screen again and select Resume next to your friend’s name to continue the same battle.
