I’m having trouble nailing an arena defence team

[half crag]

My arena, defence team isn't holding up. I usually end up in three star silver by the end of the week. My monsters that are fully devilmoned include; chi wu, Savannah, Bella, Beta, Poseidon, Rica, Charlotte, Angela, eladreil, lushen, Jamire, tablo, seara, Daphnis, Chloe, veressa, yennifer and Oliver. I just pulled a Triton and mo long. I could build the classic pirouette, Savanah and Poseidon team and use chi wu rather than pirouette. For high damage if I don't wanna speed lead I can also use Daphnis, betta, Bella and Savannah. However, I think I'm more interested on something that would use Oliver. But I'm not sure how he would work with autoplay. Produce a hand and some input for building my defence team. Most of the guides don't match up with the monsters I have, but I have a lot of good pieces. But I think cleave is the right way to go. especially now that I pulled the Triton. However, I don't know who to use for the speed lead with him. I would value any input.
For Triton or any stripper, I can get 20000+ HP, 80% accuracy, and + 183 speed. However, I don't have the immunity runes for that set up.

you can see ?ad on what r meta monsters or good monsters to use

that being said keep in mind that for ranks below guardian, your def will not get you ranks

your offense will

because arena works in practice is that if people think they can either beat the def, they will just attack it and mostly likely succeed (unless you rune gap) or they skip it

[half crag]

So use a defense, I wouldn’t attack even if the runes aren’t amazing

huh?

did you read what i said

i mean yeah people will skip the team theyre not comfortable hitting but thats usually bc its the arena rush that matters a lot

but people who have right offenses will hit you

but that doesnt matter because again like I said your AD just keeps you at a rank or below

you will never get wins with it in essence

you need to focus on your offense

[half crag]

I tend to do pretty well on my offence list. My defence only wins three or four times out of 10.

[fallow vale]

if your offense does well then you wouldve been higher in rank but you are not so something is wrong

doing arena midweek does nothing to your rank at all because people will still find you and attack you and get your rank down regardless

you need to simply plan a time during rush and save your wings up and use them to do your rush by refreshing and finding defs you can hit as much as you can

during rush if you do well and attack more the times than you get attacked
