    What is the PvP meta?

    I have some of the best toons in the game yet every arena battle the AI seems to win out. Am I not doing it right? What is the current best strategy?

    Toons are not enough, you need best talismans also.

    The only top tier talismans I don’t have are Light. I’ve got all the other broken ones.

    The only way to win is not to play.

    Don't feel bad. We're all in the same boat. I got clobbered by a level 40 team against my fully sharded NoTB, Ferryman, S Scout bot and Prisoner. All are wearing maxed talismans and I have the majority of all the relics. Yet, I battle level 100 teams and win 9 out of 10 times. It's crazy right now.

    It is a little weird just now. I am not really going for anything more than top 200 as can't be arsed to do battle after battle - just doing a handful each day but no real issues outside the top 200 to be honest - I win most battles - maybe lose the odd one or two a week but not a lot. I have not changed my team so it is the standard older one with Gambler, Charlotte, KP and Madam. Not been passed the top 200 or so for a while so not sure but it looks like there are several different main teams now.

    it seems to me once you drop below king 1 4000 you reset at warlord v 2500. It a hell of a lot of work to get back above 4000 as you seem to reset at 3500 at that level.

    Current top teams consist of

    Alexander - Orbit/Viper
    Gambler - various talismans
    Charlotte - Viper/Trooper
    Killer Prime - various talisman
    Gunner Hierophant - various talismans
    Magus Hierophant - various talismans
    Madam - Singularity or Alchemy
    Major Malakhov - Singularity or Alchemy

    Those comprise most of the high teams and then you will also find a random Ally/Eddie mixed in like

    Hallowed Eddie
    Ferryman
    Alchemist
    Set

    The main focal points of the high teams are Effect Management (both bolster and removal),Defensive Protections and Heal Prevention as well as Damage Mitigation and Invulnerability. High damage/low protection teams are getting less popular as endurance teams are winning out more frequently. The AI is getting smarter and utilizes heals and revives better and targets key teams members more often if it feels a threat.

    Is FFE completely out of picture?

    It's rare to see FFE in the top 50. I see him more often around 500-1200 range in ranks. Even in the lower tiers all the way down to 1600 you will see many of the same Eddies as the top end but more often you find them paired with

    Raven Witch
    Minotaurs (Gunner/Warrior)
    Magus Lillith
    Sentinel Maclo, Robo Droid

    There are also a handful of guys who run Angel Eddie in the top end and aside from myself running Ramesses you don't see that many other variants. Musashi also appears in the top 50 as well. Forgot to note that.
