Arena

Okay, I need to know from all of you.

How are you guys faring with the arena?
I'm legit having impossible times trying to do a deathless run because it's ruined by nothing with +10 Nino's and Lucina's with dancers giving them two turns to kill off two of my important units. My units aren't even that powerful or atleast not even close to +10 merging bonuses and I still get matched with this kind of crap. And when I say I'm done and just work with whatever score I get because doing a deathless run is currently impossible with these kinds of match ups I get, I get dicked over on my 7th match and force to surrender because I can't deal with one of the units. This literally makes me feel bad for all the players I successfully defended against with my team on the first slot, it must be a pain in the ass to deal with mine even though it's consisted of fresh units that aren't merged with anything, if there was a rare chance that you ended up battling my team, I apologize if my team ruined your perfect score potentially.
Are you guys having any actual problems with the arena or are you guys having an easier time?

This is the team I use;

Eldigan (+HP -Res)
Sharena (Neutral)
Anna (Neutral)
Julia (+Atk -Spd)

Just wondering mate, but what score do you get (on average) for your team? Also, which units in particular are you struggling on?
The team composition looks fine, kinda weak to dancers and Takumis (but then again, who isn't), but looks fine aside from that.
I personally run a strong dancer team with Nino, Linde and Ninian jumping out and mutilating things (Roy's also there, but he's just a mascot at this stage). Deathless runs aren't too much of a hassle for me, REALLY difficult, but doable after 3+ attempts usually.
I don't know man, I've never actually encountered one of these super crazy teams you've talked about, so its hard to judge. But, the best way to deal with dancers (at least from my experience) is baiting out the danced unit with a unit that directly counters it, e.g. putting my Nino (or Julia in your case) in the range of an enemy Linde, which does the trick usually.

The score I can achieve is around 658 to 668 at max depending on my opponent. I do have Takumi at my disposal, but the reason why I choose not to use him is because its an attack bane Takumi, which REALLY hurts because a lot of times when I can't buff him with rally attack, he's off by 2 or 3 points in attack to finish a target which has been bothering me for quite some time, so I decided to swap him for Julia since I do have bowbreaker on her. I struggle a lot with Nino because of the AI's unpredictable positioning, I can kill her just fine with Eldigan but there's always someone who stands in front of her who I can't kill in one turn. I have no trouble with Lucina's or other sword users because Sharena has swordbreaker, but if she goes down Lucina ends up killing my whole team.

Literally my current score is 3816 and that's when I got literally curve stopped on my LAST battle to earn a better score and it was ruined by a ridiculously overpowered team.

Nino Linde and Ninian don't have a huge BST, that can explain why you've never encountered one of these teams. The more BST your team have, the more often you fight BS teams like 40+10 Nino+Eirika/Takumi/Azuralolgetrekt.
Right now i have 4600+ pts in arena but doing a deathless run is really hard

I can't say i struggle as much. I'm a F2P tier 8 in the arena and have only met those kinds of enemies a couple of times, but there was only once when i was unable to beat them and lost. All my other experiences with he +7 5* units and such have only led either to one death or thankfully a perfect win.

Main team setup:
-5* Takumi (-Spd/+Def) (it's a lot better than it sounds in action)
---Fujin Yumi, Close Counter, Vantage 3, Threaten Spd 3, Reposition, Blazing Thunder

-5* Roy (-Def/+Res) (Serves as a hard counter to the arena-spammed Hector as well as other random green axe users)
---Binding Blade, Triangle Adept 3, Seal Def 3, Threaten Def 3, Shove, Chilling Wind

-5* Sharena (Neutral) (Overall great buffer as well as attacker and defender)
---Fensalir, Speed +3, Seal Spd 3, Fortify Def 3, Rally Attack, Luna

-5*Anna (Neutral) (Great offensive and a monster at low HP)
---Noatun, Defiant Def 3, Vantage 3, Spur Res 3, Rally Speed, Moonbow

This team comp of Colorless/Red/Blue/Green lets me overcome nearly anything and i rarely have any major struggles, even against P2W bastards who somehow get their hands on like 8 Hectors.

Current Scores:
Offense: 4,488 (Let one unit die, going for deathless run soon)
Defense: 260 (Using same team)
Overall Rank: 7,610 (As a F2P, i can't complain. However, i expect this to actually spike up with the extra ~70 score i will have soon)
