How much faster is arena with suicide masteries?

I’m very interested in making the arena grinding go by quicker. My question is - if I am running 20 teams in the basic four arena how much quicker would suicide masteries make each round?

Also, how high do I need to upgrade each of these masteries to get the majority of the increase?

    I had the same thought yesterday. One thing is running suicides messes up everything else, especially war.

    They'll speed the fights up a bit...maybe a few seconds each, but that's not the value of running suicides for arena. Your high PI brings in a few more points per fight than what you'd get without suicides.

    The benefit is more points per fight/round, not faster fights.

    You know you can adjust mastery set ups specifically for war defense, right? Before joining placement phase, remove suicides and place the points elsewhere.

    After you've placed, put your suicides back on.

    It'll cost a few units. I think somewhere in the vicinity of 75-100 total cost. I used to do it when I was grinding arena. Cost even more then because you still had to pay units just to recover mastery points. I think I was spending about 150 units to redo masteries every time we went to war.

    As others said, the fights aren't really sped up a huge amount, but the points per fight goes up, so the total amount of rounds you need to do to hit a target goal (2mil, 3mil, 8mil, etc) goes down.

    That said, until they come up with a multiple mastery spec setup option, all of those unlocked suicide masteries will continue to be unused.

    I'd say somewhere around 70% less screen taps.

    You’ll use over 200 units each war if u add and remove suicides. The amount of points increased by only about 25k for my first 20 matches. So for 60 fights it’s not that big of an increase. It will take of more of the grind time tho
