—Official Description

Temple Grounds is a stage in ARMS, released in Version 4.0.0 on November 15, 2017. It serves as the home stage for Misango, a fighter introduced in the same update. The stage takes place in an ancient temple deep within a jungle, featuring large stone pillars, intricate carvings, and ancient murals. The stage is set on a sloped ground, with a central area leading up to a temple idol. This stage is rich in visual elements that reflect its long history.

Appearance

Temple Grounds is a jungle-themed temple courtyard with a staircase leading up to a shrine with ancient carvings etched into the stone. There are four stone pillars resembling ARMS, leading up to the shrine. Each of the four pillars features a face at the bottom, similar to the face of the statue at the back of the stage. Misanga bracelets hang as banners along the straight side, in front of a temple with blue flames.

At the front of the shrine sits a statue with glowing eyes, visible behind a rope barrier. The fans are located just outside the rounded side of the stage.

In the background, ARMS trees can be seen, adding to the jungle atmosphere. Several elements in the stage, such as the statues and rope, have a similar design to Biff, including features like his mask and the giant fist on his head.

The floor features intricate carvings and murals depicting various ARMS characters.

Layout

Temple Grounds has a semi-circular layout, with the rounded side of the stage being lower and the middle of the straight side being higher. The stage is sloped, adding a vertical element to the gameplay.

There are four breakable pillars, two on each side of the stage, which can be destroyed during the match. The pillars create strategic opportunities for fighters to either use them for cover or break them for more open space.

• Inside the temple, you can find a withered Guardian and Skully.
• Temple Grounds is labelled internally as 'Stage_Dlc_Ruins'.
• Misango is said to be the one who apparently fixes the statues whenever they are damaged during a match.
