Zola hands down, very underrated attacker

I’ve seen a lot of Zola users and he was wrecking long form stuff, are you able to get him to work consistently in PVP stuff? I saw Bero use him and the AI would stand back and never play into the heavy lol

He works very well for me in BGs yeah one of my favorite Domino and Enchantress counters whenever he's not banned (which is only about 10% of the time unfortunately lol). The key is saving that relic to push them back because yeah AI can absolutely ruin his rotation, and defenders with specials that push you back a lot are also annoying. Using your relic properly is the key with Zola, I'd say it's even more important than the heavy spamming and stand your ground highly unlikely they block your full heavy tho it can happen every once in a while.

Honestly, if you're asking, you probably won't make it. You'll probably have to use units to refresh your top champions. Here's a link that has some of the previous cutouts. The sigil helps massively too with the arena help. And make sure you're on the feature tab, not the basic https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sJtSVnjhhRNxpiuMR5uXrsTlrsXMjp9TNO7JHDXhtsk/htmlview

This.

OP, if you are determined to try, it might be better to wait for the second week of her arena and see how the scores look for week 1.

I might try to see how much I can push without spending units since even saying ~75 million for top 400 is an understatement from the looks of it and then do a big push for week two like you said. I don't really expect to make it, but I am hoping to get at least a 5* since she looks AWESOME. Thanks a bunch y'all!

I would not spend units targeting a 6* or 5* in the arenas, although if it is a champ you really really want, then of course go for it. The long term strategy is to build up your roster so these grinds become easier. An 80 million grind is not a big deal to someone with a large roster which would almost automatically land any 6*. But to get there requires building up roster. There is a positive feedback loop in the arena where the more higher rarity champs you have, the easier it is to get higher rarity champs. If you're in it for the long haul (and not everyone is or can be) you should be looking to pick off the easier champs, the ones "no one wants" because in the arena, 6* Iron Fist scores about the same number of points as 6* Dr Doom. 80 million points is rough for a developing roster, but people were grabbing 6* Titania for more like 30 million just a few months ago, and the more of those you have, the less 4* champs you need to contemplate using in featured grinds, since they score many times the amount of points.

This won't help for Carolina as she's coming up soon, but it would help down the road for the next one.

That's a lot of manual review. Do you want to be paying thousands of dollars in man hours to individually inspect every single match that meets this criteria for something that kabam has said that they aren't even going to action on? I'd rather all that time and money be spent on stopping the modders who are actually cheating.

They can create an auto data inspect

Of course they may have real match time played.
If match is less than 25 seconds really played (the remaining time nothing happened ...eg Hits, dex...)
So... Its a pause abuse

If Kabam was willing to do that, there would be no need for the report button.

Oooops

You didn't read on, did you.

We do know that both the C1 and C2 finishers last season both spent maximum cash on the Red Guardian sale and maxed out the HOF event too.
Now so did hundreds of other players, so clearly these two beat out a lot of other players with similar spending habits, so I'm not knocking their accomplishment. It took everything: spending, skill/practice, and time investment.
But would they have finished lower had they sat out the sales or participated more modestly? I believe so.
And will they continue to max out every sale regardless of cost? I believe so.
This is the competitive design of the game now.
Go 100% or go home.

If you’re aiming for the very top, you gotta whale out

Most people here I doubt are even pushing for celestial. I know for sure you can make it to Mysterium or something without spending and still get good rewards

Yeah but that is not always fun for those dedicated players... Me as an example I am a very light spender and I've done every bit of content possible, and have my sights set on finishing celestial as my next endgame goal. It is very disheartening to have the skill and the game knowledge to put up more than adequate fights against celestial players, but lose because I lack a dark phoenix, a lumatrix, a maxed tigra especially last meta, and now a torch... Being stuck m1 when I've won matches against c2 on my push to celestial is tiring, I've never felt this character gap as much as now

It's gotten to the point where the basic 7-star crystal has become irrelevant.

The Titan has become irrelevant to the point that I open it every 3 months.

Every Titan has a champion that completely ruins the crystal, and now there's going to be the Cyclops. I already paid for this **** in the pass, it doesn't make sense for it to go to the Titan.

I honestly don't know what to expect about the future of the game.

Apart from the fact that they only release defenders, for me, who is a planner and needs to set up an alliance war attack, it's terrible, every month there are two new headaches.

The good champions are acquired with money now, and worse, by luck.

I bought 200 Dark Fenix ​​crystals to get her and I didn't get any 7-star champions with those crystals.

I had to buy the 2 7-star crystals that were formed, and I ended up getting all the undup champions. So even if you spend, they find a way to keep you from getting everything. The desire to spend has been decreasing and I've never seen so many people stop playing. My alliance had 3 whales who were pouring money into the game, and they all stopped playing.
The other good players I knew gave up competing and became mercs. Competing is getting extremely expensive because Kabam has realized that resources for ranking up are not worth the same as champions.
Eventually you will have more and more 7 star rank 4, this becomes easier over time.
Good champions are just sold and if you don't pay, well, good luck leveling up average champions.
