Brave Frontier (iOS/Android)

[Ziero]

Late to the party b/c I went to sleep right after, but my Arena team consists of:

Ragshelm (B)
Elza (B)
Shera (Leader) (O)
Ulkina (B)
Belfura (A)

All have SBB 10 except Ulkina who is SBB 9, All sphere frogged except Ulkina, and Medulla gems for all but Ulk, Tech Gizmo 2 for Elza, Evil Shards for Shera and Belfura, and Dandelga for Shera. Havoc Axe for Rag b/c I have nothing better really.

Think this was just a case of really really bad luck b/c today so far I've been having better luck in arena.

To be perfectly honest, I may not know as much as some people about this game, but I do know that you have a pretty bad arena team.

Pretty much, SBBs don't matter in arena as most fights are over with a single BB volley. But with one of your units being a healer, and another having a single target BB, it only means you have at MOST 3 chances for an instant win. Right off the bat you cut your chances at winning almost in half.

The first thing you should do is remove Shera and Ulkina from your team, they are NOT arena units. You want units with fast charging, AoE damage BBs in the arena, because most times it only takes one BB to pull off a victory. I'm sure others can go into detail about the other units and the right spheres to use, but at the very least, swapping the healer and the mitigator for offensive AoE BBers will instantly boost your win rate noticeably.

Also, all units have specific Arena AI types. Meaning each unit has it's own triggers and flags for what will cause it to use it's brave burst more often. It's best to get familiar with these types and arrange your team accordingly, because squad order *does* help in the arena.

Slightly outdated but top arena units from 3 months ago.

I currently use a Dark mono team with:

Elza
Ardin
Lira
Kikuri lead
Kuda

[Rizil]

Haha yea I just run the same units for everything. I can craft a better arena team but I'm mostly just lazy. I get by mostly, and I do some switching around, but I get lazy sometimes and just let w/e roll, and usually I do alright. I know Shera's single target BB is bad but I have her more for her leader skill to reduce BB cost for everyone else. Usually get BB by the next move. Ulk is a unit I just leave in there, I can replace her with w/e. I know I can probably find a better lead but I'll have to look through my units and come up with something to build around.

[Tyrath]

You have 10 squad slots for a reason. You should most definitely have a few different ones.

Remember, you can swipe right or left when choosing quests to change to a diff squad quickly. Also in Arena you can click the Squad button to change to your Arena squad.

[Rizil]

Did a little swapping around and put Lucca in lead, who has the same LS but an AoE BB, and Ulk with Ciara but I'm sure I can find a better unit if I do some digging and/or level up a few unloved units. See how this goes after a few days.

[Tyrath]

If you screencap some of your squad lists we can help choose the top tier untis for arena.

Spoilering for huge:

Spoiler: show

Ignore the random Jewel in my unit list, I forgot that was in there from daily today.

[Hushigoshi]

Oh man... you have a LOT of good arena units... you just have to 6*/7* them and max level them! haha

Right off the bat, Ultor (if you can 6* him the next time the vortex dungeon opens up), Elza, Lucca, or Zelnite are excellent leads.

Zelnite, even if he's not a lead, should be in your Arena squad in the first spot. That way if he fires off his BB, EVERYONE will get 6 BC and increase the chance of people using their BB that turn.

I would do....and the spots in the parentheses refer to where you would place them while in the "Manage Squad" menu. This assumes 6* for the units, and 7* for Selena.

(top left spot) Zelnite (13 hits, 2DC)
(top right spot) Elza (10 hits, 3DC)
(middle spot) Lucca (8 hits, 3DC)
(bottom right spot) Selena (9 hits, 4DC) (only once you 7* her and unlock her Extra Skill with Lexida)
(bottom left spot) Dilma (4 hits, 5DC) or Belfura (11 hits, 2 DC)

This team is not about raw power, but more about generating BC to get BB/SBB ready on turn two.

Zelnite in the first spot so that if he fires off his BB, everyone gets extra BB to make sure everyone can BB your second turn if you didn't generate enough BC your first turn.
Elza is a type 2 and has a 60% chance of using her BB/SBB if any enemy target is over 50% HP, and since Zelnite's BB wouldn't have damaged anyone it's a high probably Elza will fire off.
Lucca is also a type 2
Selena is a type 3 and has a 60% chance of using her BB/SBB with no special conditions.
Both Dilma and Belfure are type 4, and have a 60% of using their BB/SBB if any target is under 50% HP (enemy check). so you want them at the end of your line up to finish off any enemies still standing.

Try Zelnite, Elza, or Lucca as your leads for this arena party.

Selena is your clutch unit. In case you do not kill off your opponent on your second turn, they will most likely kill you, except for a 7* Selena will has her Extra Skill unlocked, Free Angel Idol buff. You will get a third turn and there's a high probability that Selena will then use her BB/SBB and kill the other team.

edit:

Speaking of arena teams, here's my current team I've been running with good success.

all 7*
Lava
Quaid (Lead)
Griel
Kikuri
Selena

Lava just makes everyone melt to my BB attacks, fucking love it. And Quaid's LS for 100% Attack bonus for a rainbow team is delicious.

Lava just makes everyone melt to my BB attacks

Nice work there.
While we're on arena, is this decent? I typically don't have issues and semira is a pretty good safety net, when she isn't derping her bb.

zelnite
ragshelm
semira
elza
zergel

All capped with double sphere on zelnite and elza. (Full disclosure, I'm also hoarding on 7 sphere frogs cuz I'm afraid using them will be a waste in the near future >.> )

[Rizil]

Not quite high enough to support a 7* Selena so that's out. Zelnite I can work on and level up np. Pretty much the placement of units you listed is where I have them so np there. Pretty much just gotta work on 1 unit majorly and just a few tweeks for the rest and I should be set then.

Put Elza at the top of your list after Zelnite, as I mentioned in my prior post for Rizil. Her BB trigger is having an enemy target over 50% HP. Same with Semira, they're both type 2 AI. Actually, so is Ragshelm. That's probably why Semira doesn't fire off her BB; no targets over 50%. See if you have any type 4 AI units and put them at the last slot.

I would also use Zergel at the top of the list since his BB attack also fills everyone's BB guage like Zelnite's BB. So maybe,

zelnite
zergel
elza
semira
ragshelm

Do you not have the unit cost to have four 6* and a 7* unit team, or you cannot complete a Water Mecha God stage?

[Rizil]

Don't have the cost. Need to level up some more. I barely have enough cost to support a full 6* squad.

[Nitsuki]

I gotta see the arena AI types for my units, but i'm running this order all 7* w/ a 99% win rate, only times i lose is if rngesus really bones me w/ no bb use. Almost every unit gets close to sbb after turn 1.

All 7* w/ extra skills unlocked
Griel lead (L)
Claire (B)
Selena (A)
Kikuri (B)
Sefia (A)

In that order.

[Purrrfect]

Did I breaked it?

[Hushigoshi]

Achievement store has been having issues. Try force closing the app and restarting it. If that doesn't work file a ticket with Gumi. If that doesn't work do a refresh of the data. If that doesn't work, reinstall.

Popular Unit's Rate up over the next week. I have a very very strong suspicion that the next Frontier Hunter will open up either this friday or next week Friday after the rate ups are finished.
Anyways, here's the list of rate ups and dates. Also, they'll be running a "buy 5 get 1 free" special all rate up as well.

[Nitsuki]

Better be next fucking friday! Heavensward is this friday dammit!

[Tyrath]

Not falling for this bs rate up again.

[Tyrath]

Changed my mind, maybe do a few pulls to a cumulative of 5 over the phases.

[Hushigoshi]

I'm hoping Amazon will do another 20% back special soon so I can buy a bunch of gems with the coins I bought back when they had those three bundles. I'm shooting for 6/21 to get Claire (as a sub), and Edea and an Anima Sefia (have Lord). Raaga would be nice too I guess. Ugh.
