I'm looking to get back into Arena after a break. Prior to the break I ran a speedy defense, but I'd like to try a fatter and more annoying one. I have all elemental 4*. Notable units for that type of defense that I have are:

Helena, Karnal, Ariel, Bolverk (maybe), Abellio, and Feng, Halphas.

I'm thinking Halphas + Karnal + Abellio + 1 could be alright? But that's also something I would absolutely cleave depending on +1...

Whoops, my phone auto-corrected it since that's a character in a book series I read. Abellio!

Karnal Abellio Halphas (Molly/Manon)

#

wouldn't be too bad for now

No Molly or Manon ;-;.

#

Hoping for a Manon soon.

As an update to this, I got Camilla, which may be an option? Would be Karnal Abellio Halphas Camilla

Sounds decent

#

Anything with Cami is great.
Nessa Nora Cami +1 is a decent speed core
as for slow you can also run anything with her she is absolutely busted to the point that 2-3 Camis is even decent enough

#

You could also try something funky like Halphas or Nessa Clara/Nora Cami Manon if you own them

#

else just try the option you mentioned above

Sadly I don't, I've been after a nessa for ages now, and Manon is definitely a want as well... It'll be a bit before I decide to rush anyways, so for now I'll stick with something like the above probably, and hopefully change it up a bit if I get more options.

Thanks!

Arena Defense
For the vast majority of players asking for AD suggestions, it is a waste of time to invest in building arena defense.
There are a few reasons for this -

  1. Your arena offense is what gets you your rank. You get points by beating other defenses, and the stronger your AO is, the higher success rate you will have and the more defenses you'll be able to beat.
  2. Most of the people asking this question are not pushing for high guardian. If you are not pushing high guardian, your arena defense is not super relevant. It is very possible to get g1 with an exceptionally poor defense.
  3. Your AD will essentially almost never get wins. Players do not hit defenses they can beat them. Even if your defense does get a win, it ends up being a very small contribution to your final placement in arena. **The main goal of your AD should be to deter people from hitting it, not getting wins. **

With this in mind, the advice for improving in arena is almost always going to be the same - focus on improving your offense, and provide specific examples of things you struggle with if you want assistance in improving. If you'd like AD suggestions, please post in #1047269577614164098 with your box - we'll give you a four monster defense suggestion, but focus on your AO, and do not build monsters/invest non-leftover runes in AD.

just feel the need to pop this in here

Yes, thank you! I'm more concerned with AD since I am pushing high guardian and feel my AO options are pretty solid, but I definitely agree that AD is far less important than AO in most cases.
