Battle Waves: Mobile Season 2 makes friends the enemy

Battle Waves: Mobile Season 2 is called Friends & Foes, which is a very polite way to say you can now challenge people you know and then make the group chat unbearable. The update adds direct friend PvP, daily quests, battle pass rewards and arena customisation, giving the strategy battler more social bite. Anonymous matchmaking is fine, but beating a friend adds the special seasoning of bragging rights. The arena customisation and reward structure also give players more reasons to keep returning.

Mobile multiplayer thrives when rivalry becomes routine. This update leans straight into that danger.
