maybe try a different defense :)

Question is "in the 5 months you've been at 9 wins, how many losses have you had?"

I'm actually curious as to the defense.  You figure you would get 10 bad connections in that time span.

What defense are you running now?

I mean - I'm going to be honest, it's not a particularly good defense.

A good arena defense does one of two things:

1) Decentivises people to actually fight, because they aren't sure they'll win. In the past, this was done by virtue of just having a standard speed nuke team, because there wasn't really any way of knowing that you'd win the speed race. That's pretty much not a team anymore, because it's just too easy to counter. The best example of one of these types of teams nowadays is usually something running some combination of champs like Mithrala, Wythir, etc, alongside someone like Mortu.

2) Encourages people to fight a losing battle. This is the team I run on defense - four champs all in stoneskin lightning cage, which, to someone who doesn't understand arena, looks very beatable, but tends to do quite well against any team it's matched up against.

The latter team is quite hard to build for, so you probably want to go with the former type of team. Of the four champs on your defense team, only one really works at all to that end - namely, Sniktraak. But he isn't really very good at that job. He's somewhat tanky, and does an okay job at buffing the team, but he can't hold the team together on his own.

Feel free to post your roster for suggestions, but you really want to be looking at champs like Mithrala, who can do a lot of cleansing and support. Pythion's another great choice here.

So, right off the bat you have one of the absolute best arena defense champs in the game - Wythir. She 100% should be part of your defense team.

Unfortunately things do go quite a bit downhill from there. But, from what you have, I'd probably go with something like Wythir + Scyl + Snik + Brakus. Brakus is quite good at being annoying and taking people out, with his passive. Scyl just keeps reviving people. Wythir keeps the team alive. Snik does random stuff.

even if not fully at 60 ?

I mean, no. Get them to 60, of course. But they're already 6-star, so most of the work is already done.
