Thanks for the pointers. That makes me feel a lot better about it. I think that if I need 2 legendaries then I should just give up. I have War Maiden, but she is not built up. Is there another comparable champ I could use?
Also, I notice you use Jinglehunter AND Spirithost, so looks like you just kill it with speed, like you mentioned. It looks like I'll have to land one of those other speed champs
Forget Warmaiden, you have Venus and Madame Serris who are both a thousand times better. Many will say that Madame Serris is pretty much a legendary, who just happens to look like an epic. Though in different ways; Venus puts decrease defense *and* weaken, though unless you somehow have a lot of legendary books lying around, she does it with only 75 percent chance. Madame puts a combo of decrease defense and decrease attack instead, with a 100 percent chance (though accuracy - resistance still applies!) - which is irrelevant if the opponent's main damage dealers are dead before they can take a turn, but if they aren't, decrease attack helps a lot. Moreover, the same skill also removes all buffs on opponents - again, if you're fast enough, there may not be any buffs to remove yet, but if there are, stripping them all away is very strong. Then looking at other skills, Venus will do a lot more damage, but Madame has some other nice debuffs including fear / true fear that can lock down an opponent entirely.
I think the short version is, Venus works better in a pure speed nuke where you just want to maximize your damage in the first round and you expect the fight to be basically over after that. But you may not be able to do that without very high speed anyway. Madame works better in defense or in teams for longer battles, as she can disrupt the opponent more, but does less damage and doesn't soften them up as much.
Personally I like to have a few different options for arena offense and adjust based on the enemy team, instead of having one single team. Relickeeper, for instance, can be useful for additional damage sometimes, particularly against Force enemies where Kael will struggle. But in other cases you may prefer to stick with your Spirithost and Seeker combo.
Also, not related to arena, but your void rares Coldheart and Reliquary Tender are excellent for dungeons, you'll want to level both of them up.
