Anyone else dislike Arena casual mode?

I mainly played this game for the challenge of staying in the top tier every week. Now with Arena being dumbed down for casuals I can't get into the top 6,000 anymore. Seems this game has gone purely pay to win now. The only way I see to get in there even with my core 3 being all F2P +10's is to pay money for a merged 4th bonus unit every week or drop 1,500$ on a +10 Legendary. I think it's seriously time for me to stop wasting time on this cash grab game.

"Dumbed down for casuals"

Instead of using the term "dumbed down" how about we used something more like "the game is being enhanced with quality of life changes" or something like that? I, for one, welcome the arena changes.

Why don't you look for more units to fit in your team? A normal unit with the right kit can easily take out a +10 unit. Take Alm for example. At neutral IVs with Death Blow, he can ORKO a +10 +Def Nowi with Def refine. That was just one example.

It's kind of sad, that your only point in the game is to stay in tier 20. It's probably too difficult to deal with the fact that you'll drop to 19 and you'll have to patiently wait for feathers to +10 a higher bst arena core that will consistently carry you.

Also, the game has microtransactions so even if they didn't change the arena system, the top places would belong to the highest spenders and it shouldn't be a suprise to anyone. With no money spent you still have a good chance to get to tier 20 and with some dedication you can even stay there, so I see no problem. Also the difference between tier 20 and tier 19 rewards is not really that drastic.

(btw this is a casual game)

Sounds like you waste a lot of money on this game. And feathers won't solve this problem because the bonus units change every week. Obviously the bonus units will be the ones in banners and the rotating bonus units cannot be merged(Sharena etc.). Gacha games are retarded anyway. I don't care about the rewards I just wanted to be able to reach the top ranks without spending money and it's becoming impossible. I didn't spend any cash and consistently stayed in the top 1-2k until legendary $ grab units and this dumb fucking arena change.

Um, they have repeating f2p units in the Arena as bonus units. I find your claim of being 'top tier' sufficiently lacking, well, ANY proof. Why are you sucking your own dick publicly? You can get arrested for that!

boohoo "I'm not the top ranked player of a casual mobile game, so this game is bad!" what a great sense of logic you have, sir/madam. Grow up and learn how to deal with things. Either just leave and don't go out crying like a baby, or enjoy the game.

Free to play means everyone should have a fighting chance, otherwise it becomes pay to win. Which is what this shit is becoming.

Arena didn't really need any changes to be fair, but what really needed change was Arena Assault, this mode is incredibly boring and annoying to play through, if only they made changes to Arena Assault and left the normal one untouched then it would've been better.

The only problem that I really have with this new Arena change is that it is much harder to earn Defense wins now. :/

Other than that, I don't mind the changes--they actually encourage more people to play Arena and makes it less tedious to play. I also like how the Offense rewards are given out after you get your winning streak rather than when the season ends.

I'm a proud citizen of rank 19.5, and since this first week I was at rank 20, I'll check how difficult is to rank up again in some hours. I'm kinda worried since Amelia is a bonus unit so I'm already at the disadvantage using Anna as my bonus unit, but all in all, struggling to make it is a fun aspect of the game (at least from a F2P perspective). Perhaps you could start building a new core? I'm trying to improve mine atm (since I was neglecting it from the beginning, I only have a couple of +3 units)
