you're not imagining the discussions, but unfortunately it doesn't apply here. there is a cap on the number of times you can lose defensive matches (you can still be attacked after reaching the cap, but you won't lose any more points) but it only applies to classic arena, not tag.

if you could post your current defense as well as your roster, that'd make it easier to offer advice.

As mentioned there isnt a cap on tag and it is probably the hardest area of the game to play.

I am sure if you post defence and roster people can get you to S3 however

Thanks folks. Must admit my tag defense is not something I've ever really focussed on so tips would be most welcome!

Three teams (first is basically my classic arena offense):

And my roster of 60s  ( spent way too much effort building some I probably shouldn't have, but never mind!)

I think we have the champs for it. Duchess, Mithrala, Arbiter, Ukko, Genbo, Madame, Cardinal (got Stoneskin?), Wythir, Sandlashed all stand out, and there's a few other like Shazar and Vogoth that could into teams as well.

Would you be able to post the rest of your roster? Thanks. 

Thanks. Yeah got plenty of stoneskin to use if needed. 

Rest of the good stuff - got enough resources to do another 4 or 5 6 stars but was struggling to decide who to do next.
