After grinding out these new arenas, it takes quite a bit of grinding to get the same rewards. I have kept my grinding the same (as that is really all i can manage) and my rewards have dropped, ouch. What a shame.

Unless you have 100 6 stars and atleast 40 5 stars at r4 and above, the grind is not sustainable. I gave up grinding this week and started focusing on 7.2. It was too much stress because of the FOMO. I used to grind every arena. But grinding either 6 star featured or the 6 star basic takes the same effort as grinding all the arenas in the earlier format.

This arena cycle I managed to reach all the milestones in all three arenas.

The rewards are great, no question, but nevertheless i feel empty after this huge grind ..

i really want to give these arenas a chance. Ive been trying different combinations but ive been so far... unsuccessful. I have 69 6* and 45 r5s but it just isn't enough. Quite frustrating.

That is the reason I was not too critical at first. I could skip a refresh cycle in the previous arena and still make the milestones. Now, I need to grind more to actually make the milestones. Very tiring.

Man I recently joined like 2 months ago it's going to be tough for me to get these new champions in 5-6 star arena bring back

Prowl · May 2021

Put in 17.5 mil on the last featured and got 1k 5* shards and 250 6*. That's 1000 5* shards less than I used to get for putting up 15mil. Absolute joke.

NiceIndian · May 2021

The addition of GMC shards is good but the amount of them for the amount of effort to hit the milestones ain't worth it.

RealSteal · May 2021

I was arena grinder and now I don’t play arenas and I’m not playing it anymore after 180.000 pvp fights. I hope this comment helps

Jim_reaper · May 2021

Thanks for the exclusion. Real disappointed with this turn of events.. Arenas were the only area of the game in all the years I've been playing that I was able to compete (now unavailable to me) the main reason I stayed away from story quests? My champions couldn't compete. Apparently Now I have to complete in them and reach "uncollected "or "cavalier" (what are those?) to participate in the arenas that I even bother with yhis game for. Thanks for the roadblock and arm twist. I have yet to see an "improvement " that improves the game. It is less woth logging in evey time you make a change like this.

Put the 3 star champ in the trials milestones. There are so many players that can’t reach the milestones to get the champs in the featured arenas. I’ve been grinding the 3 star arena to collect the champs since I’ve started playing, and there are many people like me that you’ve taken this away from. You’ve taken this opportunity to get this champion away from everyone who isn’t uncollected or above. Please, either give us the 3 star arenas back or put the champ in the trials milestone.

As a casual player, I’m not going to spend my whole day grinding on higher rank champs. That’s why i prefer to play the 3 star arena just for the sake i have the opportunity to collect all released champion despite I might missed out some exclusive champions that only available on higher ranks. Please bring back the 3 star arena just like before.

I hate playing arenas, they are so boring and time demanding I only do them when I need units to clear content, if there would be a better way to get units or resources I would never play them ever again.

Kzn · May 2021

For me this is a massive kick in the guts. Units are an important resource to advance in this game and for players like me that don't have big 5* or 6* rosters, I relied on completing 4* star basic arenas for the majority of my units. I don't have time or ability to grind for 16.5million to get a decent amount of units. This just seems like a blatant grab for cash.

Alternatively change the resource that potions are used to purchase in the store to something more widely avaiable. Gold perhaps. I never liked grinding in arenas anyway.

Hypo · May 2021

Are they actually going to fix it? It’s upsetting considering that they want the game to be fair yet they allow all the other high end players use that time to grind arena and complete content but now it is harder for the rest. How is that fair?

derFLECKI · May 2021

I used to play arena occasionally, to get some units.

With this new structure, I only play arena once for the alliance events.

I’ll also pay nothing more, if you keep this absurd structure up.

It‘s a kick in the butt for all the players, especially the F2P and casual arena players.

Chelonii · May 2021

As an almost uncollected. Now, I can only access the 4* arena. I can only get 4* and 3* shards. Before I could gather (slowly) 5* shards together by pushing into the rank rewards.

Before I could do the first 5 milestones in the 3 arenas and pull together ~150 units. Now I have one arena to grind and have to grind up to 2,000,000. To get 133 units. That is IMPOSSIBLE with my roster and champion levels.

I thought one of the objectives stated by Kabam was to improve the ability of newer players to move towards uncollected. How does removing units

Suggestion
Enable pre-uncollected to grind more than 42 units (300,000 grind)
Enable pre-uncollected to grind for arena champions. Now we can only grind for nexus crystals.
Enable pre-uncollected to get some 5*shards in arena

Indrick781 · May 2021

For me, the issues with the arena are the breakdown between brackets. You have one arena where people Collected compete in and the best they can hope for is a 4*. Then when they beat the Collector and become Uncollected, they are expected to be able to jump right into the 6* arena. Their rosters don't support that at all. Beginning Uncollected players are going to struggle getting to 6.2m points to get the featured or basic 4* from milestones. It is completely unfair to put them in the same pool as people who have rosters like mine and that have 50+ more 6* than I do.

There needs to be an intermediate arena where Uncollected and Cavalier players can go to earn 5* champions and 6* shards. I put Cavalier in there as well because there is a massive difference between a Cavalier player's roster and someone who can without boosts or refreshes get the 5* champion every time. For reference, if I were to hit all my 5* r3 and higher and my 6* on refresh, I could get somewhere between 80-85m points without boosts and unit refreshes. How in the world is someone Uncollected supposed to compete with that? They can't.

Here would be my solution:
1. Add a 5* basic and 5* featured arena for Uncollected and Cavalier players only. This will allow them to build their rosters so when they are ready to make the leap to Thronebreaker they can actually hit milestones and get decent rewards. Put the ranked rewards the same as the old arenas for these two.
2. Remove the Summoner's Trial arena from Thronebreaker players and instead add those milestone rewards into the milestones for the 6* basic and featured.
3. Stop the unit milestone rewards at 12m in both arenas. This would allow milestone grinders the chance to hit all of them without feeling like a chore.
4. Expand the amount of people that can get the 6* featured to 200 and the 6* basic to 300.
5. Expand the amount of people that can get the 5* featured to 600 and the 5* basic to 700.

6 million for a 4*? Dude just bring back the old arenas at this point

Charlie21540 · May 2021

Seriously. Can we get some sort of an update?

LordPSN · May 2021

I have a request. Bring back summoner's trials. I am happy using my 1 and 2 star champs in that.

Raphael2010 · May 2021

This suggestion is probably too late and potentially not viable. However, I think the arenas should be tiered similar to incursions based on number of champs of certain rarity.

3 Tiers, once you meet the next higher requirement, you can no longer access the lesser arenas. Based on the old system, on average we gained ~4 units/round. The top milestone suggested is based on that ratio

1. 4* or Summoner Trials - similar to now but access is based on less than certain number of 5* champs, milestones based on 4* champs (1* - 4* useable), total units increased to 265 (sum of 2*, 3* & 4* of previous arena system) and rank rewards similar to current Summoner Trials with addition of 5* shards. Preferably would add 3* of featured champ in milestones
- Top milestone - 2,700,000; 4.5k per 4* champ or 40.5k per round with 3x multiplier

2. 2 5* Arenas (1 featured, 1 basic) - Access based on minimum number of 5* champs (no longer access summoner trials), milestones tailored to using 5* champs (4* still useable), 540 total units (current max), 3* & 4* in milestones, rank rewards of 5* champs and shards & 6* shards
- Top milestone for each arena - 7,000,000; 11.5k per 5* champ or 103.5k per round with 3x multiplier
- 45 5* champs needed for all milestones in both arenas (9 runs over 3 days), so min could be 35-40

3. 2 6* Arenas (1 featured, 1 basic) - Access based on min number of 6* champs (no longer access 5* or Summoner Trials arenas), milestones tailored to 6* champs (4* & 5* still useable), 540 total units (current max), 3* & 4* in milestones, rank rewards of 5* & 6* champs and shards.
- Top milestone for each arena - 13,500,000; 22.5k per 6* champ or 202.5k per round with 3x multiplier
- 68 6* champs needed for all milestones in both arenas (6 runs over 3 days), so min could be 55-60

This would allow those with smaller 6* rosters to still be able to use their ranked 5*s in arena efficiently while not affecting the ability to grind for 6* champs for bigger rosters. Thank you for your consideration.

tangierone · May 2021

The new arena system is the worst change ever!!! No way I'm gonna spend hours and hours playing to get a chance for a champ

Drax_Reflexologist · May 2021

Pardon my lack of excitement about the addition of Grandmaster shards....
