Lost my streak @ 156 thx to dual wielding CoDs getting 1st turn![]()
Did the update break the arena?

Every Thursday, the rules change.
Yeah. It reset. New rule, no healing or buff/debuff. So basically fuck or get fucked lol
To elaborate, this week there is no curing/restorative spells (esuna, blindna, Raise, etc) though abilities that clear effects can still be used like CoD's Comeback. Also any ability or spell that increases or lowers stats like Full Break, Cheer, Imperil, etc is banned. As always, gear and LBs bypass this.
This week pretty much translates into run a full on offensive or enfeebling effect (para, blind, sleep, silence, etc) team and win/kill everyone except Cecil the first turn. Prepare to see lots of 6* Exdeaths too. While it's unlikely you'll be getting slammed with dual cast Meteors too often, his LB getting off can quickly spell a loss with it having a high chance of inflicting everyone with 4 random status effects. I caught one today and was unable to take any actions for 3 turns due to sleep and para, and was severly hampered once those wore off. Thankfully he saw it fit to spam drain and Thunder from Ramuh for those three turns.
Took out Antenolla on the second try, but I can confirm he's a pain in the fucking ass. He assraped one of my party members on the first turn both runs, and I burned every elixir and ether, plus 3 phoenix downs, on the second try. I'm just glad the *only* rewards for the challenges are 10 lapis. If I had to kill him with no deaths for a moogle I'd be pissed.
My bladeblitz just finished, so CoD dual-spamming that with Luneth kills most teams. Kefka and Tellah mop up the rest. Cecil can cover to keep me alive an extra turn as needed.
Was 8k karma away from the TM and they broke the BF bonus when the arena changed. GJ Gumi. -_-
I managed to get Maxwell by cheesing the force close glitch between every turn. Sadly; I had someone die at some point and apparently raising them doesn't undo the reward loss so I didn't get the 15% dark resist ability. Deal breaker? I hope not; I don't feel like spending another hour force closing the app to another win. :/
15% is such a low amount for an ability slot, I wouldn't stress on it too much.
Well, Antonella is a complete bitch. 4 Parts of her body, all have 580,000 HP... All of them resistant to various elements... and they do a lot of damage even with Cheer/Focus/AtkDown(CoD), wiped out 2 units in the first turn for me. Shit.
Well... back to the drawing board for me...
Trying to get all the missions really makes running the new content tedious, but that's a heck of a lot of free lapis. Hartmannellidae can suck it though.
Think I'm gonna skip this round of arena. No cures kinda sucks ass. Looking forward to big bridge and not getting gilgamesh.
Not sure if you mean completely skip (beyond the 5 for dailies) or just not focus on it. I'd argue against completely skipping, might slip out of the top 30k for the monthly reward since I'd assume there's plenty vying for those spots. I'm right around 1500 in the monthly and I'm not looking forward to the end of the month crunch to stay within the top 3k for the 2x TM moogles.
I keep an eye on monthly but so long as I'm in top 90,000 I don't care . That's where the gold trust moogle is. 30k and 90k is just an extra pot.
Fucking arena reset when I was at 97 streak. God dammit.
Not gonna a completely skip it but not gonna spam it either. If I had better casters it might be a different story. Think I've been in the middle of the 30 > 90 bunch the last two times.
Sitting in top 500 monthly. This weeks' is going to suck when it comes time to fight all the whales for 1.5 ratio.
I'm confused on the rewards for arena. Last week, I got the pots and tickets. Did not today nor the first week. I've been in close to the same spots.
Got Exdeath, Faris and (dupe) Bartz from daily+ tickets :D
2nd Chizuru, 4* Maria, 2nd Bartz, 3 Anzelm, Shadow, Russel, Edgar, 3rd Vaan, Cyan, Freya, 2 Faris and too many others. 28 tickets. Got the Exdeath I was looking for with my last one. I saw at least 8 Golds. All shit except the Chizuru. Fuck rng man. At least it didn't cost me lapis.
