Zaishen Challenge/Elites: This gives you some Team Arena-like practice against actual builds as opposed to henchmen. It can be useful to work out whether a character build is working since you can buy DFO Gold bring a supporting Monk player or henchman.
You unlock the Zaishen Elites area after beating 5 different Zaishen Challenge teams. The Elites area is exactly the same except that it's always random opponents and each round adds one more opponent (4v4, then 4v5, 4v6, etc.).
Hexes: Like conditions, you should know what the notable hexes do. In particular, you should be very aware of hexes that are potentially incapacitating like Backfire, Migraine and Spiteful Spirit.
In Random Arena, there's a good chance that noone on your team can remove the hex for you so unless you have your own hex removal you're out of luck.
Useful thing to say: "Backfire on 2!"
Bad thing to say: "Rust on 2!"
Note that the countdown to the attack is 3-2-1, so a 1 second spell starts casting at 1, a 2 second at 2, etc. If a spike is called, don't switch to that target immediately and start attacking them because it's a dead giveaway. Also see my previous article on spikes vs. pressure.
