wizzard of soz Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 got a deathless run on my second try for Arena Assault, score of 4,802 and likely the best i can get since all battles are based on score of the first team. rank 2,300 yay. i only got paired against a Reinfart once, and encountered no Horse Emblems. instead i encountered a lot of poorly inherited Armour Emblems that were easy to pick off. if it wasn't Armour Emblem there was always, literally like 6/7 of the matches had Hectors, and like 4/7 had Effie. i ended up breaking out a decent amount of 4* units and they did great, the ability to see the map before you head in just makes everything so smooth. seeing my -Atk 4* Tsubaki destroy a merged Ryoma was fun, and other such things. also thank jeebus i randomly put Axebreaker on my 4* Michalis for a GHB that i ended up not even using him for, because i totally forgot to bring a sword for Hector on one map but that saved my ass.

Anacybele Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Wow, my rank plummeted... I had a decent rank before, and I thought it might go down a little, but I didn't expect it to drop THIS much. I tried Arena Assault again and managed to get seven wins thanks to a technique pointed out earlier (start with a weak team, use strong teams after), but my rank is still low. I'm not sure how to get it higher. I'm not prepared for advanced battles with fully trained teams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yay! Defence feathers are very appreciated, given that I’m dropping back to tier 18 next week. That TA3 SB3 +Atk −Spd Robin is pulling his weight nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartozio Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Managed to get a new personal record at 4858, which was ranked around 400 in tier 19 when I got it. I should be pretty secure to promote to tier 20 now. I also have 3 defence wins, so that means I don't to worry about the regular arena anymore for this week. I still want to improve my Arena Assault score though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartozio Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Just now, GuiltyLove said: What are your merges? I can barely get above 4800 Reinhardt+1, no other merges. I am using Hector, Ryoma and Anna besides him, so all of them have legendary weapons and Hector is good at buffing scores. Evryone has all skill slots filled out, although Anna has Attack+3 as her A-slot (I used up all my Fury fodder) and nobody has high cost specials like Aether or Galeforce. I should also mention I got a bit lucky this time around, since I got a lot of high scoring enemies. Maybe try adding an Armor or legendary weapon user?

azurrys Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) New high score of 4,842 achieved in Arena Assault! Ranks at 1,458. Same team: Sharena, Marthcina, Cordelia+1, Minerva. I think this is as high as I'm feasibly getting with this team. I'll need to switch things up to boost my score further. Luke demolished a team of scary squishies (Nino, Anna and Ryoma) all by himself with the help of a dancer and a Dancer's Veil. His Panic Ploy has also been incredible in helping me deal with Blade teams. And here I thought I wouldn't find a use for a Brave Sword cav... I actually need more Brave users than I have! Ogma hasn't seen this much use since the start of the game. Since I'm fighting way above my merge level, nobody can double anything unless they're a Brave user and the squishy mages usually just barely escape a OHKO. It's time to build up Brave Axe Cherche and Brave Sword Alfonse, plus train Cain, Gordin and maybe even Donnel. ...Once the Tempest is over anyway.

Ice Dragon Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 According to my current position in the Arena Assault leader boards (second page, i.e. 51-100), the tie for first place now contains 99 players. Someone really fucked up the tier sizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaid Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm starting to get worried about my defense win happening this week. I don't think the current maps lend themselves to the lvl 1 3* bonus unit + 3 real units strategy I've been using of late, as after a couple days I still didn't get anything. I have no good bonus unit this week so I just boosted up my Anna to 4* and got her to 40 so I can try using her as my bonus unit on offense. I also threw her on a defense team now with Ike, Cordelia, and S Camilla. But still no dice since the other day. I got 7 defenses last week, so things are being erratic again.

(oh gosh this song sounds horrible lmao i can't believe we liked that in middle school) LOL Maybe I can be part of the no-defense cool club this week! I tried taking off Ike's skills besides Vantage, switched his special from Aether to Luna, took off Hector's Hone Atk, and switched in Cordelia with Desperation and her C skill off. Maybe with less point value my team will get some weaker people who can't finish off both Ike and Hector.. I usually don't use Hector since he's bait for a good team, but with the current maps and my 2* Hana bonus unit I'm trying to bait weaker opponents, maybe he'll work out.

Don't forget that defense wins is a function of attempts * win rate, you increase your win rate by decreasing score, but people attempting your team will decrease as well. [Edit: Mostly because teams only get better over time, so teams will score more over time. If your defense team can only match, say, level 40 4*s, then the pool of people you're fighting is really small.] Edited August 11, 2017 by DehNutCase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only trying this though since doing the opposite with the strongest/most reliable team I can manage hasn't gotten results yet. I may end up 5*'ing my Anna to help my offense score (again, best bonus unit option I have this week if Nohrian Summer doesn't come through soon), but I doubt that'll help out my defense team much. She's really not much of a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard of soz Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 has anyone used items in Arena Assault yet? i've only done two runs but i noticed the "items" button is always greyed out/unclickable, my friend says he hasn't ever noticed it not being greyed out either.

Did you remember to actually bring items into your run? You have to click on up to three of them before the run. (I don't bother because the runs are easy enough without them, since you get to see enemy team beforehand.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yeeaa same. i score better on this mode than normal Arena because seeing the map is the most op of all..rip..what if they made seeing the map an item exclusive ability, now there's a thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who score that high have pretty much memorized who has what team (not to mention every team is just some combination of Draug, Effie, Hector, and Sheena).

All you literally need up there are 7 green units that can one-hit kill Effie and Hector and a few units who can kill Draug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
