ARENA IN A NUT SHELL ( FOR NORMAL NEWER PLAYERS )
After Reading basically everything, I think I found out what happened to Arena
1) Arena reset is AM UTC
I get Dropped back down to Bronze I Every reset ,,,,
Seems I get Hammered by 15 or 20 players in the last 1/2 hour of the Tourny
So When I am ALSEEP , Seeing as I am on EST in CANADA
The Europeans are Awake in UTC just before Reset , Log in Play Arena and BOOM
I wake up to Arena and I am 900 Points back in Bronze Tier I again
2) Arena match making take total account Power into consideration
I read Yesterday that Arena matching is based on TOTAL ACCOUNT POWER as a factor
As Per Hellhades and Ayumilove and ASH , I Saved all my Heros Rare and up
and Build up my Food with Uncommons 5 or 6 at a time too
So it turns out that a Hero Collection game Screws you for Collecting heros
So Now I also know Why I get Shafted Every Monday Morning UTC ( Sunday Night EST )
I am Punching Above my Weight , and Arena Makes total sense now
So it is FOOD EVERYTHING that Hellhades and Ayumilove agree are ** F ** and ** C ** Heros
SAVE EVERY SHARD I GET FOR EVENTS , and FOOD Most of those to if they dont Pull
at least a 4 Star Rating in 2 or 3 Areas ...
3) I built Faction war Teams and am Up to 6 in all BUT am 7 and 8 in atleast 4
Building faction War Teams ,, Another Mistake I made , got 4 Teams in 7 and 8
So I can Farm 3 Star Glyphs and was Starting to Build them so i could Farm 4 Star Glyphs
ANOTHER MISTAKE that would make my Player Power Higher
and Put me Against Even Stronger Teams in Arena .....
4) Collecting Heros
So DONT COLLECT HEROS ,,, it raises your Total Player Power
which Raises you up in Arena Ranks for Match making
Kill the Ducks then Flub Arena for the Free Energy , then free refresh a few times and see if
you get a Few Ducks to Kill then FLUB the rest so you get the 12 TIMES
for 3 Stars in Guild,
and Maybe 5 times in Tag for the 1 Point towards the Free Chickens and Lego BOOK
BUT 10 times a Week for Sure for the Tourny Reward
5)
Just get 4 or 6 to lvl 60 that You can farm Dragon on and Spider where you can get Banners
and Basically Ignore everything Else until you can Auto Dragon 20 it seems
6) Speed Kills , thats why in Arena your Dead
I dont have Anywhere Near 175 SPEED on Any heros ,, I Followed the Missions and Quests
** PUT ATTACK hero in ATT% Gloves Att% Chest , Att% Boots **
** Put Support Hero in 3 Star DEF% Gloves , Def% Chest , Def% Boots **
(( AND PALARIUM SHAFTED US WITH THE MISSIONS we had to do to progress ))
** Put 3 Sets of 3 STAR equipment on Three hero **,,,,
** Put 3 SETS of +8 on them **
** Put them in +12 ** etc etc etc
NOW FOR ARENA YOU NEED 200 SPEED PLUS , 150 might do but not really
MOST NORMAL PLAYERS WILL NOT BE NEAR THERE AT ALL
But you will get matched up against Speed Nuke Teams that are , BOOM YOUR DEAD !!
These are the things New Player Dont know , are not Told at all
all we Every hear is ** You should beat those teams **
well the Standard Answer or ** Cookie Cutter Team of Katum, warmaiden, Your Starter Spirithost**
Just simply will not Kill when you are faced with a Speed Nuke team that has 200 Speed or more
SO , you need to FARM DRAGON for 5 star Gear ,, 6 star if you can ,
GET SPEED GEAR with Sub Stats of Speed , Crit Rate and Att%
then you can Tweak it with Def% and Resistance if needed
