意味

Friend battle — a casual match played against friends rather than random opponents in online matchmaking.

フレ戦 is short for フレンド戦 (friend battle) and refers to arranging a private match between friends or community members rather than queuing into ranked or unranked matchmaking. フレ戦 are popular for practice, content creation, community events, and simply having fun without the pressure of ranking. They give players full control over who they play against and are often accompanied by voice chat or Discord calls.
