Hey guys, just trying to get some advice on my arena defence to focus on. I’ve attached images of all my monsters, potential choices. Open to discussion, thank you in advance.

Please take a look at #guides ⁠, there are many detailed guides for all areas of both PvE and PvP (it's not just for beginners) with tons of different team suggestions and explanations of how to rune them.

We recommend completely finishing PvE before starting with dedicated PvP teams. This game is all about runes, and without being able to farm for those runes then no combination of even the best monsters in the game will give you any success in PvP.

The more effort you put into asking for help, the better help you'll get. Show that you've done a bit of research yourself first. What have you tried so far? Based on the suggestions in the guide, what teams do you think would be good?

The following is a generic template for building an arena defense that's applicable anywhere from conqueror to G3. The listed monsters are just examples, there's certainly other viable options that are not mentioned.

Speed lead: Vanessa, Psamathe, Clara, Halphas, Moore
AoE stripper: Triton, Clara, Nora, Juno, Zen, Byungchul, Amduat
Bruiser: Camilla, Savannah, Byungchul, Perna, Rakan
Support: Abellio, Triana, Manon, or simply another bruiser from the category above

If you don't have any of these premium options, common f2p siege def monsters can be used as well: Vigor, Eshir, Cichlid, Chilling, Iunu, Tesa, etc. Example complete f2p def would be Clara Vigor Triana Tesa.

Note that working on any sort of PvP is useless until you've completed finished PvE. If you are just trying to get to 1300 arena points for the Summoners Way mission, read ?arenamission.

When you are just starting to work on arena and aiming for conq ranks, you should be focusing 95% of your efforts on AO. You climb by improving your offense and being able to beat more defs, consistently, and faster. AD is mostly a deterrent to discourage players from hitting you in the first place, there's very little you can do to get def wins. And even then, people will always attack you no matter what. Your only option to get a higher rank is to win on offense faster than people attack your defense.

Feel free to ask for help and feedback by starting a post in #1047269577614164098 , but show that you've read this and have given it some thought and effort yourself first. What teams have you already tried? What teams do you think would be good to try?

read the 2 command I mentioned above and come back

hollow ridge Jul 8, 2024, 4:35 AM

#

ahh so Arena offense is more important

last bridge Jul 8, 2024, 4:35 AM

#

yes

#

however, you should also have a proper ad

#

you try to craft one and I'll fix them for you

For my arena offense:

Tiana > Galleon > Kaki > Pungbaek

For my arena defence. I drafted one into the first screenshot. Im not sure on speed lead so ill attach screenshots of speed leads i have. Maybe fire pirouette if not jamire?

#

Also not sure if i have a better option than light werewolf for AD

hollow ridge For my arena offense: Tiana > Galleon > Kaki > Pungbaek For my arena defence. ...

it's not mentioned in the command but you shouldn't use kaki and pungbaek together

#

instead you use tiana galleon cheongpung/liesel (the water vampire) kaki/pungbake

#

it is to prevent someone use nem runes and instantly disrupt your combo

#

also, you should make a fat lushen ao as well

#

for your ad, the one you drafted is bad

#

try to follow ?ad

hollow ridge Jul 8, 2024, 5:49 AM

#

Ill use the water vamp

#

thats really good advice thank you. Very helpful. Ill look in the lushen team too

last bridge Jul 8, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

Oh didn't notice this sorry

#

Yes since you have no premium spd leads it'll be Clara

Water werewolf is better than light one

#

It provide the anti crit buff, pretty useful

hollow ridge Jul 9, 2024, 2:09 AM

hollow ridge Jul 9, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

GBAH yes
SFAH yes
All SSS yes
R5 Solo Yes
PCAH Yes kind of, like a 70% success rate 😅

hollow ridge GBAH yes SFAH yes All SSS yes R5 Solo Yes PCAH Yes kind of, like a 70% success r...

By yes you mean 100% success rate no fail, maybe except SFAH where you can accept 99%

#

And since PCAH at that horrible rate is still " yes kind of", can you reconfirm that for me?

hollow ridge Jul 9, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

I can confirm there’s no fail except for PCAH. 99% for SFAH

last bridge Jul 9, 2024, 12:18 PM

#

well I guess you're fine

#

so try to complete the last 2

#

nbah is the hardest part of #guides

#

not having it means you're not remotely close to being able to compete in pvp

#

because after finishing pve, you still need to spend time to farm it

hollow ridge Jul 11, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

I can do nbah now 100%

#

Just wondering to get a fat lushen set from nbah, how long would it roughly take?

(Disregard R5, just want to get purely a single rage set)

last bridge Jul 11, 2024, 7:27 AM

#

hollow ridge I can do nbah now 100%

sorry to put your hype down

#

but you are still not ready for pvp yet

#

if it take you x days to complete pve (congrats btw), then it take you x more days of farming to be ready for pvp

#

in the mean time you can start learning and losing, just don't expect any true result

#

about your lushen in the future, he'll more likely get a fatal/blade set or even blade x3 set, ofc you use rage/blade if your best dmg set is rage but it's pretty unlikely
