If someone needs to attack 785 times a week, spend 3000 ironite and spend 80 hours a week (semi random numbers) to get on top without a prisoner then all these are further arguments why the FN Gimp should be shot dead, not the opposite.Quote:

I wish I could have gone one better without The Prisoner.
Gonna read the posts now.
Jofer, if you read this, I canīt believe you made it this far first week on the Arena. We need more players like you. Congratulations!!! This was fun!
And Saturdays are the future for the Arena.
Be right back.
Hey man - great run! Congrats to both you guys!Quote:

Great run guys! Loved it.
Oh, and people! How do you like the refreshed list? Good luck coming up ;)
What a read on a Saturday. First full PVP week. When I joined PVP beta late, I was lucky to have a 10% defense rate, first week here it's 30%.
So I don't have a prisoner, and finished eighth once in beta and 14th this week without spending a ton of ironite.
It's all strategy. There are times I have 2 characters left against 4 and pull it off (prisoner/blue Bat included).
I always go against prisoners. Without fear. I have a team ready for them. I always clear out my entire attack list, to get the 2 free SOW. I attack all the top players and usually win. Ask them.
I've been playing this game since July and understand the characters and the AI. PvP isn't for the faint of heart. I take calculated risks and often times it pays.
You asked for win rates for someone without a prisoner? 94%. (245/260).
I have 2 sets of teams. One for people with Prisoner/Blue Bat, and one for people that that allow me to have passives [that team is largely colored red :) ]. I do tweak them slightly depending upon opponents.
This game is totally strategy. You need a ton of equipped toons, while I hate the RNG I've been lucky to get the red troll, hellhound, blue Bat, corr gen, and a few others. I have 35 5* toons.
There is a learning curve, but study the AI, make sure you balance out the talismans. I've largely invested my resources in skill shards, over 100 of em, versus going for souls.
PvP is totally different from PvE. My beloved characters in PvE, some of them, don't even come into play in PvP. I never bring them in as their skills don't fit.
Don't give up, but don't force your favorites thinking they will win. You will need to try different characters with different talisman builds to get a groove going.
I finished 14th and spent a little bit of ironite (maybe one refill of SoW each day) but only essentially what you get each day. I generally net more ironite each day than I use. For full disclosure Saturday sometimes gets multiple refills. 😝
Feel free to check out my team and builds. We all have different styles, so what works for me may not for others but this game is darn fun.
BTW, Nicko, you changed to a SSD because his taunt rate is broken. Everyone gradually shifted to him over time, I commented about that on another thread.
Here's to another fun week ahead! Cheers all!
Here is what it took for top 25. Don't mind the fun I had testing Nicko's like defences. 10:3 for Nicko!

Caretaker, our stats are VERY close. You can guess that from our win rates and our ranking.
Cheers!
I held you 10 times? Didn't seem like that!Quote:
