#Drowning in Mons - Help to focus

I “think” I’ve got a pretty good box for most everything since I’ve played for almost 10 years but I don’t have a clue what I should be using where.

I’ve only really focused on PVE in a slapdash way… Once I’ve found a team that runs ~1 min I’ve kinda moved on to the next thing and kept that team to farm for each event at Abysal floor.

I really wanna dip my toe more into PVP and Top Shelf PVE like the new Towers etc. It’d be great to get some input on which mons I should focus on improving from my box to do so effectively. The majority of mons in the snippet (that people in game chat said are good) are skilled or if not can be quite quickly… Runes are probably considered mid game considering my account age but expect there’s a ton of good stuff in there maybe not being used effectively so far. I had a bit of a go at arena this week with a (I think) speed team.

AO - Vanessa, Light Monkey, Byung + Beth/Alicia

AD - Halphas, Light Monkey, Alicia, Bastet

Only reached Fighter 2. So I’m clearly doing something pretty terrible. I could really use some good mentoring. I only just found out SW has a discord so if I’ve not supplied the right info etc just tell me please 👍

Thanks 🙏

To be honest, I probably misjudged the quality of my box. I assumed the # of 5* I’ve already accrued before even attempting PVP would put me at an advantage vs the approach taken through that thread as a beginner account. I half expected someone would just say oh wtf are you doing with X,Y,Z sat in storage, Use those and you’ll consistently be much better for AO or AD, RTA etc etc. I kinda get it now I think. I’m working my way through beginner PvP thread so thank you very much to both of you for highlighting it @vale dock @zinc badge

I learnt a few things already that I think will make a huge difference… I clearly didn’t understand +ATB as I thought I did, And I’d always assumed AI mon selection were based pretty much solely on element + active effects so both eye opening.

I guess there’s really no way of cutting corners because it’s the understanding I lack. I will end up with a bit of an advantage later by already having better mons to improve and counter teams. Lesson 1. Walk before you can run I guess. 👍

I’m sure I’ll be back soon with more questions thanks

tons of nat 4s are still top tier and super important for arena and siege. like there is no replacement for lushen. to that extent no one should be reading beginner pvp as a "f2p guide". it's a guide for even whales

#

once you have some basics though of course you have lots of great options to build more advanced teams

#

especially when it comes to ad

#

you can sneak a preview of some of those options in ?ao and ?ad commands

#

and of course for rta, thats a completely different story and you'll want to use almost only nat5s there
