HOW TO BUILD an OP ARENA TEAM in 2022

[@Yuskovonovitch]

Ash, I think we would love a video of the swap outs of rares to epics to leggos, for tiering of a role. Example; apoth, to lyssandra, to arbiter. Another example; Kael, Gael\s wife Zargala or whatever her name is, to Magnarr. Different tiered roles would be awesome for us! Thanks for the good work mi amigo!

[@theinvinciblejohnnycall7882]

Thanks, Matt! This guy gets it!

[@shanearcher6704]

Be nice too

[@johnb3598]

I'm running the old meta you talked about - high khatun (speed lead) -> Uugo (debuff) -> Brogni (attack buff) -> Ma'Shalled (nuke). Will look at switching artifacts on Umbral though and give that a shot! Seeing lots of double speed leads in gold 3/4 right now though which makes it hard to get first turn. Thanks for the vid Ash!

[@jiujiu]

Answer: Have a 360+ speed Arbiter, 700 accuracy madame serris, 700 accuracy prince kymar, and a nuker with 8k attack and 300+ crit damage.

Honestly though, his gear is crap. Only 416 acc on a slow kymar. 365 speed on arb after 3 years of playing. I'ts probably because he doesn't play arena anymore.

[@davena3783]

I gave up on a speed team because I can only get to 324 speed, my go second team almost always wins :) speed team is a pure gamble imo, my go second I can switch out my nuke or support to counter their team.

[@randomyoutuber5430]

Its not a pure gamble but you need speed stats to roll up, and without a bunch of great hall you kinda need accuracy rolls to be effective. It kinda pus you in this weird space where you have to build accuracy out of gear knowing you'll eventually pull it back off

[@michaelrudolph8960]

I used Arbitor lead with Seeker for probably 1 1/2 years. I had Psylar in the vault and used her on a doom tower boss and now I replaced Seeker for her. I remember when you got Genbo and I finally got him and he is awesome, replaced my Ithos

[@TheHumbleRoots]

Excellent as usual. Definitely pushing great hall while it’s working. Thank you.

[@shanc4696]

There are so many videos on nukers or best rares/epics/legendaries. I'd like to see one on the different cc champions. You did mention a lot here which was nice. Even if I don't have any of them, lol.

[@ajandrew4197]

I saw that tank top in the second episode of Fantasy Island. 😂😃😄😅😆 "The plane boss!!!..." 😀😉😊

[@pvkk85]

I pulled Madame Serris early. But my life changed when I pulled Warlord, and then I pulled Trunda. Though honestly, with Warlord I could use pretty much any nuker. My team currently goes Arbiter with 313 speed to Warlord with 263 speed and 373 accuracy, to Madame Serris with 233 speed and 436 accuracy and finally Trunda with 201 speed. I havent even maxed masteries on any of these champs, as I am lazy, but win most fights still as long as my arbiter is faster than enemy team.

[@RelixHD80]

I just want to add that if you decide to put a single champion on defense do not make it a super tanky annoying one that places unkillables or block damage...it completely defeats the purpose of setting a single champ defense and only makes the rest of us waste time.

[@shinyagami8843]

@@joyabee2199 any champion that removes enemy buffs would do too, but you’d have to have crazy accuracy as those a**holes build the paragon with very high resistance… Same goes if you try to put a provoke on the paragon so he doesn’t do his block dmg & attacks instead. So best bet is a champ like Genbo. If you don’t have ANY champions that ignore block damage you could easily get a death hound from either the store or by using green shards, it has ignore block dmg on its A1. Getting it to 50 isn’t such a big waste of resources just to wipe the smile of those smug a**holes faces 😂

[@maelradec8574]

@@joyabee2199 as shin mentioned. A champ that removes buffs. i.e Madame Serris is awesome for this. Again, as shin said... You need high accuracy. For instance, I run my Madame at 680 accuracy.

Low budget team Spirithost lead attackboost Warmaiden Defense down Kael Nuke And kael nuke Now my first kael is 6 star gotta tune that again they were 1 speed within of the others and it got me to silver 4 without pushing

[@Vertically_Challenged.]

I used your team for a while but had Trunda instead of Leo, when I switched to Leo (to use the Void affinity) I found it very useful and it had me thinking about my Kymar's main problem, which is that he is Magic affinity. I have now switched to using Arbiter, Basher (I Wish I had Warlord), Ramantu, Leo. All Void and gives me very few issues. I know Trunda hits harder and I do sub her in instead of Leo when the team I'm fighting has no Force champs, but even when that happens I don't bring Kymar back in because the combo of Increase all cooldowns and Block Passives is just too powerful to give up. P.S. I also find that when using Lethal/ Savage gear and having Helmsmasher there is little to no point in also having decrease defense.

[@rider9gaming400]

just the video i wanted trying to push to g5 for the gh arb mission. thanks ash ..

[@wildbear2472]

1-man defense all the way! I do the same, in gold V mainly cause I telework & flip to find good matchups. I set that 1-man D to help out all those folks like me grinding the Hall

[@aimlessgaming4619]

Manage to pull Madame during x2 void, and was able to replicate a team with her, conellia, gorgorab, and genbo. Haven’t maxed out madame yet but she is still putting in a lot of work

[@Ilighitaq]

I'm running High Katun for speed lead, Thylessia as my defense breaker, and then got Kantra and Kael for my nukers. My High Katun is at 250 speed and only 50. Only got like 88k power but I beat teams that are around 150k 💪😆 great vid my dude 😎

[@piotrjeske4599]

It is worth to 6 star khutun , even for just arena . The banner can have speed on it. And 9+ speed is a lot

[@Ilighitaq]

@@danbardos3498 I was like that too til I focused all my highest speed stat gear specifically for High Katun. I don't have Arbiter just yet so High Katun is my speed lead

[@randomyoutuber5430]

If Kymar runs second and put them to sleep, what's the point if your aoes wake them right back up? I'm trying to build him and I've built him to run super slow, after my nuker, to reset cooldowns and we get to CC again, Def down should still be up but stag A2s again for additional damage, nuke again, then strip buffs, the sleep isn't too important because he's not my crowd control.

[@Shnookie3.14]

I love Magnar in the arena. I don't really care what the team power is, but I do read what each champion does.

[@Sean-ln1xb]

Definitely need build guides for new players. How the heck can you tell who's a nuker or whatever else he tried to explain in this video

[@shinyagami8843]

Well a nuker is usually an attack champ with a strong AOE skill… But I get what you’re saying Both Ash & HH have videos for new players you just got to go through their early days vids to find them

I have arbi so have a theoretical shot at the speed race... but I only hit 318 speed so I just skip any team led by a 30%+ speed lead as hopeless. I've had a few trip and even a quad roll on gear, just not on speed substats on speed gear. Maybe one day!

So if my team is Arbiter, michinaki, Conellia, Genbo. Should michinaki go before Conellia? So that michinaki doesn’t remove the sleep debuff when he attacks.

My very first team back in the day was so bad but still got me to gold 4 np. Seeker , sethalia, tayrel, with drexthar (way before his buff) as my nuker. Awww the good old days years ago. Now tho my main farming team is Arbiter into sethalia into Lydia into trunda. Since I got sethalia early I've always loved her over madame since she strips and tm reduce/boost. Then use Lydia or uugo to debuff

I used this type of comp for a long time, then I switched to a blender comp with Skullcrown/bigun/arbiter/Fatman. its so much easier and quicker.

[@jxetv5049]

Dude I did not understand the speed thresholds: like the debuffer being within the 30% of the booster.... Very cool.

[@4floodfanphoenixrising286]

Ash, I am having a hell of a time in Arena and was hoping for some guidance. My team consists of Loki (60/60 fully ascended w/5* Soul), Kael (60/60 fully ascended), High Khatun (60/60 fully ascended w/1* soul), and Warmaiden (50/50 fully ascended w/1* Soul). Additionally, I have Shaman 50/50, Warden 50/50, Apothecary, Gorgolab, Valerie, Yaga, and Spirithost as my best champions. In arena, my team rank is 140k and I routinely get spanked by teams with 60K. I have the recommended artifacts and they are mostly 16's with a few 12's. I farm glyphs and add them when I get them although they are mostly 1*. Help me Please!

[@marink701]

I'm super stuck in arena. Last week got to Gold III with Warlord, Apoth., Stag K. and Elhain (newbie, 2 months in the game) but by all rights I shouldn't even be there. Got there purely 'cause many teams would kill elhain right off and the other three would be "unkillable" if the opposing team weren't at least 2,5x more powerful or had someone like Serris (thank you warlord :D ). Really bad luck with speed set boots with speed on them and I really wanna avoid giving my best speed gear from apoth to my High Katun just for that extra speed boost from aura :/ I know what ur gonna say-keep farming! heheh

[@RicoLen1]

After watching this video I started looking at my team, and I'm kind of doing what you're talking about. I've got Shazzar are my speed lead/nuker (like Skullcrown) and Deacon is in my best speed gear and is my booster, and debuffer with drop defense, followed by Countess Lix who hits with her A3 to block active skills on the enemy, followed by Psylar who drops the turn meter of the enemy so my crazy slow but very high attack/accuracy Shazzar can drop the nuke literally and figuratively, hitting hard with the aoe and planting 2 bombs. In order to fix this, I would have to speed up Shazzar a bit, probably just have to put speed boots on instead of atk%, and then I could drop psylar from the team in favor of a buffer. But 1: I don't have to because Shazzar's A2 gives him increased attack and an extra turn to use his A3, and 2: I'm not sure what other buffs would help. He's got a 100% crit rate and high accuracy and doesn't need the atk% since he gives it to himself. I'm not really sure it's worth it. That said, I looked to see if I could find a champion that gives AOE increase attack and increase speed, and it doesn't look like anyone in the game does. Seems like a good opportunity for a new champion, doesn't it?

[@randomyoutuber5430]

Gorgorab can increase attack, and he's got a turn meter fill, Thats why i run him as speed lead, with the aura too. I just need to change out my nuker from magnarr because he wont benefit from the attack up

[@RicoLen1]

@@randomyoutuber5430 There's a few people that increase turn meter and attack. Arbiter is another. I feel like I remember seeing one other, but I can't recall who it was, or if I'm just not remembering correctly now. haha I really like Gorgorab. Back when Hellhades did his FTP video series last year I followed along with him on my own FTP account, and I still play it today because I've picked up so many cool champions I don't have on my main, and Gorgorab is one of those guys. He's still coming in clutch for me in doom tower, 3v3 arena, and faction wars. The guy's just cool.

Hey guys just thought I would share my Arena team as it has made Arena easy, I know the champs are not easy to get but if you have Gaius fusion and Arbiter you can sub out the others the main goal is to get the aoe sleep to work. I am using Arbiter lead, Krisk, Shiphi and Gaius,(Placed in that order due to krisk passive) I am now finding arena G5 easy as this team synergises so well let me explain why. Shiphi A2, Arb A3, Krisk A2 and Gaius A2 as opener moves enemy team now asleep with 2 bombs. (this is the order my team goes in) A. enemy now takes turn but are all asleep so next turn they get the 2 bombs go of for 47k each (can push it to 60k I reckon as gear not perfect) killing them all before they attack. B your team goes before them again = Shiphi A1 they are staying asleep, Arb A4 no one gets waked, Krisk A3 provoke no one gets waked, Gaius A3 detonates the bombs instantly and that one dies others do not get waked now refer back to A. (never seen my team get a 3rd turn before the enemies 1st) Very and I do mean very rarely one person might just survive the bombs but it matters not as they are provoked by krisk meaning A1 only and def/att down now thanks to Krisk's passive so it is game over no matter what. My only goal when putting this team together was to make Gaius sleep work as I was annoyed that every team I put to sleep would get woke due to my team hitting them or because of debuffs I had placed, so I just slapped this together no real thought of how good it would be just would the dam sleep work! But wow just wow I did not expect the results I got as I went from G1 to G5 no challenge at all and can go to plat if I want however I do not want as am sure I would get knocked back to G5 straight away anyways.
