Agree arena can be hard and unfun at times. Yep.

That doesn't make it pay to win or pay to progress in terms of getting into silver arena.

Why don't you post your roster, gear, etc. so folks can try to help?

You  think  silvers  bad  wait  for  gold.  Which  i  think  is  next  in  those  arena  missions.  Those  challenge  and  missions  you  will  hit  a  wall  where  you  need  stop  for  days  or  weeks.

Yes  its  all  clearly  p2w,  welcome  to  2022  and  mobile  gaming.  I  hate  it  too  but  whos  going  to  go  turn  on  a  console  and  stay  in  1  place  all  day?  Here  we  are  still  playing  mobile.

im  f2p  just  over  a  month  dont  expect  to  ever  get  to  gold  or  advance  those  missions.  Played  longer  than  i  expected.  Told  myself  id  play  until  the  freebies  start  to  wind  down  and  the  grind  gets  too  much.  Im  fairly  close  to  that  point  but  still  have  dresms  and  goals  in  reach.

Silvers  not  bad  though.  Couple  peculiarities  to  this  game  youll  likely  only  find  1-3  close  to  your  power  per  refresh  then  have  to  come  back  in  15  minutes  or  when  you  can.  

Obvious  stuff  like  good  team,  gear  is  very  important  and  levrling  it  but  dont  waste  silver  leveling  bad  gear.  All  the  other  ways  to  get  swole.  Ascend  them,  dont  waste  time  and  resources  on  too  many  champs.  Skill  book  some  but  dont  waste them,  skill  books  very  precious.  Can  expect  to  book  2  rares  and  1  epic  after  a  month  and  thats  with  first  ones  free  books  so  probably  harder  going  forward.  

Also  seems  like  lots  of  junk  'heros,'  so  careful  who  you  level.  Dont  worry  about  that  mission.  Dont  think  the  rewards  were  too  great,  few  are,  even  sacred  shards  can  be  a  let  down.  And  the  next  set  after  that  for  gold  will  probably  hang  you  up  for  3  months.  Youll  get  to  silver  soon  enough.  Arena  is  all  kinds  of  wonky  though  not  sure  what  they  were  going  for.  Only  so  many  people  allowed  in  gold  and  power  ranges  in  bronze  snd  silver  range  from  20k  to  350k.  Its  completely  broken.  

Best  trick  sctually  is  sandbag  your  defense  team  with  weak  characters  then  just  go  for  other  peoples  sandbags  and  the  occassional  person  actually  close  to  you  in  power.  Doesnt  help  you  get  to  silver  though  really  just  helps  get  points  for  the  great  hall  until  youre  probably  about  40-50k  power  i  think  is  the  low  range  gor  silver,  top  of  course  being  750k  go  figure.  Guys  got  more  power  in  4  champs  than  i  got  in  my  whole  army.

Getting to Silver arena should not be too hard if you approach the team building process right.  I reckon we can get you there if you post your roster

This.

Lets see who you have and try and make a plan to get you into silver?

This was a hard mission for me as well, but I did it F2P myself, once I had a plan and worked at it for a bit.

Agreed, we can all offer suggestions that may help you, I'm not even close to what you would call a 'seasoned' raider by any means, but have made it to gold arena 🤷‍♂️

Realistically, the number of combinations of champions you could use and make it as far as you want in the game are endless. More importantly are the builds in respect to each champions' role, gear, and rank/level of the champ.

Ive seen all rare teams in gold, and all legendary teams that I wipe immediately. The Longer you play you will pick up strategies and intimately understand the mechanics of effectiveness and damage/survivability.

It is a deep rabbit hole, so deep that there are things 99% of us have yet to figure out or are just unaware of entirely. You'll notice what I mean when you make it to Silver and see the range of teams that are in there.

I'm sure you are very close to making it there, i thought the same thing when I had to complete that mission.

  I got into silver on my free to play in less than 30 days. just got to know who to put together.
