Wow I had no idea it was that elaborate. I also didn’t realize part of the reason was to help out fellow players.
So now that you guys have explained that, maybe I could get your advice. My main objective in the arena (when I decide to be active outside of the 1 daily arena battle challenge) is always just to finish each with as high of a score as I can. But after reading what you guys have said, I am considering doing the weaker defensive team now also. But if I do, could this significantly bring down the score and rank I finish with? Or is finishing with the same (or close to the same) score and rank something I could still manage to do as I would without an intentionally weak defensive team.
I typically finish at the top of the Warlord tiers or the bottom of the King tiers, of that is of any significance to my question.
