Can someone help me as a new player?

[unkempt holly]

This is my formation now. When playing arena I am losing a lot of the time even when people are worse. Any tips or anything? I feel like my back row is weak.

I advise you to use or obtain Vlad hero, even level 1, to play in the arena at start.
Also read our new player guide to learn basics: https://cs.89trillion.com/aow/faq/details?id=5391

Also since you are new you first can use auto adjust feature for some time while upgrading troops (just remember do it often to update levels in formation)

For now, you need to grow more troops, of course, but for very beginners, the Adjust feature is good enough just need to pick a good kickstart hero, that is why I advise Vlad. I use him myself on my new account.

First step is to creat a strong front row.
Your troops are week, but you could try to use a ogre in the middle of row 1 and 6 flying units for the rest of the first row. (ghost assassins, magic apprentices, flash angels or ninjas.
As soon, as your stone golem grows up, you should use him to replace the front-ogre.

I progressed a little bit from that day can you still help?

I mainly use jinn as i need coins for 240k packs

Im also getting quite a bit level 8's

Im doing around 200 levels per day so that i can get to level 8000 pretty quick (im at level 1000 and should take around 35 days)

And i know the levels start getting realky hard but not now but ill be back soon because im progressing decently quick.

Watch here and scroll up a bit.
You need to build a good front and a good backline. Here you find examples.

Jinn is pretty good with ballistas. If you don't have many of them, then be careful with upgrades. If you have 4 on level 6, they could be much better for you, than just one on level 8.
The same advise for other troops. Especially for epic and legendary troops. You will need time to collect enough of them. Often it's better to have more on lower level, then just a few on higher level.
