I just play arena for the early milestones cause I'm lazy. Also arena is super boring and tedious and it sucks that its the only reliable way to get lots of units being f2p.
When I arena I do it pretty hardcore across the featured and basic arenas. All milestones basic and 4* featured and 7.8 mil in the 5* featured. I do take a couple weeks off here and there(like I am right now) where I do no arena as it burns you out and is boring. I’m good for about 2-3 months of constant grind before I need a small break.
I find this is the only way to keep my gold and iso at reasonable level and have the units I need to clear content the way it is today.
Even now I’m at the end of 2 weeks off of no arena and my gold has dropped by 2-4 mil due to ranking in level up events to milestones in that time frame.
No, I freaking hate the arena. However, since there's no other consistent way to earn any useful amounts of freaking gold anywhere else in the game, I'm going to have to swallow that nasty pill and start tolerating it.
I’m more of a middle ground arena player. I don’t totally ignore it as it’s a main source of gold and units, but it’s incredibly boring to grind it nonstop. I typically hit 7.5m in the 5* arena and 2m in the 4* featured then call it quits. I do run through full alpha and T4B though
I alternate based on how I feel. I'll get all the milestones in 3-4 arenas, then the next cycle I usually casually pickup what I can. If I don't feel motivated to grind, I might not touch arena all week. But when it's fun, I do. 🤷♂️
Only play for 2 first milestones in 2* arena last come of months, when alliance arena 3 day event is on. Luckily, we have some people who go for a 4* champ sometimes. Personally I hate arena, it's so boring
I voted yes, but I am missing a middle ground. I do 1 to 1,5 m in basic 4* AND SOMETIMES, 2m in 4* f and 1m in 5* f. Which I do not see as hardcore. Just for some units and shards here and there.
Milestones are my friends, I don't grind for champs but I'll hit all milestones in 3*, 4*b 4*f and upto 9mil in 5*f ...when I go back work will be a different story
Used to be when you could target specific 4* basic champs. Not anymore—now that it’s relegated to pRNG, there’s no way to target a 5* champ (unless you are lost enough to punish yourself grinding arena for the featured 5*).
Sunday arena is a decent addition, since it enables you to use 6* and get most milestones in a run or two. Again, the shards there are just spitting in the wind—maybe they help you pull a 1-in-150 champ from a shard crystal, but most likely it’s another 20 sigs on your Civil Warrior, Gambit, Falcon, Iron Fist, Drax or Rhino.
I do but i only go for featured champs as i am a collector. I find them extremely boring so i have recently decided to only do featured grinds and not touch arena at all. The 2000 shards are all good but TBH the five stars i open are all dupes so no point in grinding anymore. I hope a six star arena comes asap.
Most likely, I'll hit the first 2 milestones of both the 3* arenas and the 4* featured arena. Then usually I'll hit 800,000 points in the 4* basic arena. Not hardcore at all.

If I absolutely have to I will for units/gold

Normally grind 2m in featured 5* and 3m in featured 4*.
