It finally happened

I finally encountered a 3 Surtr team in AR. Its great only being able to play once every 2 days, and then on top of that i run into this cancer. This game mode was a mistake.

Three Surtrs? How cute.
(Mind you that I don't have Summer Micaiah, so I don't get easy kills on these.)

Even a blue micaiah with a dancer will kill surtr...

But there are so many things capable of 1 shotting surtr really. Try Any red blade tome, fully buffed, or Lilina.A few of those and a dancer will make short work of all the surtrs you can think of.

Anyone with 200-300 orbs can put 4 Surtr in arena def. So arena was a mistake?

Report

Arena def doesn't have a time limit though, and in general is much more forgiving. For arena, if you ever run into a broken team, restarting your series isn't that much of a big deal due to how abundant dueling crests are. Given how limited Aether is though? Yeah, far less room for error. (Not to mention that in arena, units won't get bonus stats on defense but in AR they will, so have fun fighting Surtr once he's a bonus unit next week.)

I completely disagree. AR are way, way more forgiving than arena, and more importantly FUN (subjective I know, but I find them a lot more fun).

I don't understand why people have a problem with a multi surtr team in AR... That's like a free win, way too easy to deal with, just have appropriate counters ready.

In arena though this might be outright impossible to defeat. Maybe not when you're in a low tier. But try being in tier 21, having to run a full armor team for the score, a crappy bonus unit and having all your kills with that unit... And now imagine the bonus unit for that weak is Fjorm or Anna... Good luck with that! You can retry how many times you want (which isn't fun at all IMO, only 1 try is what gauges skill and good preparation before the mach, infinite tries just encourages not giving a damn and being frustrated when you fail after having already spent 20 crests to get a match with enough rating to stay in tier 21...), you will still lose!

Ok, you make reasonable points. Like Kemosabe, I disagree because measuring your ability every match is what makes this mode challenging. Any lousy player can restart a bunch of times in arena, but this mode really shows who can plan, consider possibilities, and calculate ahead.

Also, I think the turn limit is necessary for defense players. It is too much to expect to wipe the opponent team using AI.
