Several things I wanted to say to the recent people who posted in this thread:
@nanmzhao - You said the below statement:
Arbiter Speed :335
Lydia the Deathsiren Speed : 275
Madame Serris Speed :260
Rae Speed : 252
Barely stay at Gold IV.
The game is on going over 2 years. You should update your gears and champions.IF you want to stay at Gold Level. Speed 300 + is a basic requirement.
1st: I made underlines in your comment above so you can see your mistakes. I will now explain why they are mistakes.
2nd: Your team set up isn't Ideal
Lydia & Madam don't belong on the same team.
You should use only 1.
Madam & Lydia do Def Down which is their main function.
They have same role with a twist.
Madam Def Down comes with Enemy Buff Strip + Atk Down
Lydia Def Down comes with Weaken + Block Revive Attempt Passive
The hero you use will be based on enemy team you face.
If Enemy team has Shields or Buffs, You use Madam & Leave Lydia on Bench
If Enemy team has Revivers or No Buffs, You use Lydia & Leave Madam on Bench
Running Both on your team is a grave error which cost you hugely.
3rd: The mistake in having 2 Def Down heroes on the same team has caused you to build your nuker with to much Speed.
What you ideally want to do is add in a secondary turn meter champion which could provide a Speed Buff.
This would lower your nukers speed requirement which would allow you to put more damage in the nukers build.
4th: Players can stay in Gold 4 with out 300 Speed.
300 Speed is only necessary if your using a Speed Team in Gold 4.
Speed Teams are Squishy - They have to be fast + 1 shot enemy
If the enemy is faster or survives a Speed Team Nuke, Any Counter Attack is Fatal to the Speed Team
Defensive Teams are Sustainable - They don't have to be fast + can handle being hit
Defensive Teams can counter Speed Teams
I showed my Defensive Team on this thread or another thread like this one.
My fastest hero is Seeker with 215 Speed and my team slaughters people every day.
The next person I wanted to say something to is @forrestleigh
Forrest said the following statement:
Yep it's very tough, I can stay in G4 comfortably but speeds have gone up, I use Kymer, Lyssandra, Serris and Kreela in my speed team, if that does not fit I have a tanky Duchess, Tower in shield set with 94k hp, Rotos and King
1st: I made underlines in your comment above so you can see your mistakes. I will now explain why they are mistakes.
2nd: Your Speed team set up isn't Ideal.
What on earth are you doing Forrest?
I feel like you been in the Forums as long as I have.
You should be a Master Arena Tactician!
What the Crap is Serris & Kreela doing on your team?
Lyssandra & Kymar together create a Strategy which was Pioneered by Platinum Players to Deactivate Enemy Teams Reaction Accessories.
The Strategy involves the following:
Leader: Kymar - 30% Speed Aura
1st move: Lyssandra ----> TM + Spd Buff
2nd move: Kymar -------> AOE Buff Strip + Sleep
At this point, you want all 4 of the enemy heroes to move in between your 2 remaining heroes.
It will deactivate the Reaction Accessories + they will do no damage due to the sleep.
What makes no Sense is you chose Madam to go 3rd?
Madam Buff Strip in this position has no value because Kymar should have already do it.
Madam Atk Down in this position has no value because you want to 1 shot enemy.
The only thing Madam is providing for you is Def Down which isn't enough!
You could have a Def Down hero which provides more Value in this position.
- Ghostborn --> Def Down + Increase Atk for your Nuker
- Lydia -------> Def Down + Weaken
etc.
To your Credit, Kreela is a pretty clever hero choice by you.
Your team Lyssandra --> Kymar --> Madam doesn't have Increase Atk Buff.
You chose Kreela has your nuker because she can self Increase Atk Buff before she AOE nukes and her AOE hit is Strong hit with good multipliers.
Nevertheless, Kreela isn't the greatest Nuking option.
Kreela AOE hit is considered Strong and not Godlike because of her Base Atk.
Kreela Multiplier are equal if not slightly higher vs. other Godlike Nukers.
Kreela just suffers due to low base ATK 1200 vs. Godlike Nukers at 1500-1600 base ATK
Again, Forrest can stay in Gold 4 comfortably.
I am just being nitpicky.
However, It's important to be nitpicky & critical of your Arena teams.
This is how people improve.
Lord Shazar does Self Increase Atk Buff + AOE Godlike Nuke + Bombs for good measure
Does Forrest own these champions I am saying?
Maybe, he does
or
Maybe, he doesn't
You never really know what a person has in their Vault.
People pull heroes from Shards and are unsure about them all the time.
