I have read beginner pvp and have built an ad accordingly, problem is I have a horrendous def win rate (1/65) currently, and last week it was 7/110. My def last week was seara ren abellio juno, basically just because I had them runed and just threw them in. I have attached my current def, clara swift, byung vio destroy, abellio vio will, juno desp revenge. I'd appreciate it if someone could help steer me in the right direction. I've also attacked my nat5 and ld4 box.

whats your highest finish and what are you aiming for?

stray totem
#

c2 and honestly just higher than that, i've only done one arena rush before and it was last week🙃 my offense also was nottt the best

vital mango
#

the advice for you would be to focus on offense then, this defense is more than good enough to achieve something higher than C2

#

what offense(s) did you use?

stray totem
#

cheongpung tiana galleon pungbaek, my pung was not good enough to actually win anything so i ended up having to switch to a safe but veryyyyyy slow bruiser offense

#

i have a better one now tho

vital mango
#

yikes bruisering is not nice in rush

stray totem
#

i know 😭

vital mango
#

thats a good offense tho, would maybe swap pung with alicia to get a bit of element diversity

#

you built it following ?tianagalleon im assuming?

stray totem
#

i'm using an alicia offense rn and i do like it better

stray totem
vital mango
#

well yeah keep improving the offense for now

#

defense looks fine

#

having a low winrate is pretty normal

#

and in lower ranks it doesnt matter nearly as much as offense

stray totem
#

mm i got that but one win so far? feel like i should at least have 2😭

vital mango
#

the goal of a defense (in low ranks) is mostly to scare people off

#

not to win

stray totem
#

ideally i would deter as many people as i can but idk who i would put there to deter

vital mango
#

well, clara is a swift threat + spd lead, that deters tiana

#

juno somewhat deters dots

#

and overall this defense is risky to lushen

stray totem
#

alsooo byung and juno are both new and have very poor skillups, I know this is probably a silly question but how important are their skillups on defense😭

vital mango
#

I wouldnt skill up anything just for arena defense

#

it wont do much

stray totem
#

i use them in siege, was jujst wondering about the effects on ad

turbid oxide
#

if you do use those monsters for siege def they should be getting your accounts best runes and should be fully maxed

stray totem
#

why does salute look like that 😭

okay thank you both! will update after rush

stray totem

forgot to update yall 🫠 placed p2 this week, def win rate 13.2% 5/38 and I have a few more questions

  1. Are leo lucifer defenses just free? I've never encountered one that has posed a threat
  2. How can I tell if a leo is built with zero damage to not trigger nem? I've only seen this once but I'd like to be ready just in case
  3. Why was this rush quieter? I was attacked maybe 5 times the last two hours before reset
  4. How does the ISA qualifier week work? Should I bee keeping my rank high all week?
  5. And lastly, any further reccomendations for my defense?

well p2 is already much better than c2 Gladge

  1. yeah this is just free with double nem will megan
  2. you cant tell, I think 99% people with this defense just put their offense as a defense so you dont really have to worry about that I think
  3. its like that sometimes, sometimes its less active, sometimes more.
  4. just the rank you finish matters
  5. would still focus on offense, for the rank you are in right now defense still doesnt matter a lot
#

the def you have rn is fine

#

Swift threat would be a real great deterrent on defense

#

At c3 it won’t really matter nobody really hits there unless they are on their way up

#

Just a heads up the lack of Vanessa/Psamathe will definitely make your defense look a lot more enticing to hit and there is really nothing that can be done about that

#

As for AO I don’t really like pung with Tiana Galleon, TG doesn’t really struggle with crit passives the damage is just that high

#

I would recommend Poseidon as his dmg and atb reduce is great for cycling back to Tiana s2 in case (basically when) your Cheongpung misses all his attack bar reduction

#

I’ve also found that Alicia over Cheongpung into 2x fire (typically Juno+Vanessa or Fire Slayer+fire bruiser) is a lot safer

#

i do use alicia though and she is muchhh better

it sucks and people are lazy

#

it doesnt get used by real players

I hope your new one has consistent atb reduce at the very least
