    Arena matchups

    Hey guys im just wondering.

    Ive been playing a bit of arena lately, and i just came back from a short break.


    Ive noticed that when you start the arena you get pretty opponents, and you can beat most of them at least 2 sometimes all, easy, medium and hard opponents.

    Ive noticed that when you beat a couple of waves of those, its very difficult to beat anyone, even on eastyyou get people with 1mil hp and 400k dmg, against my 500k hp and 150k dmg.

    Is this a bug, and will be fixed in the future, or is this how it is going to stay.

    I do refresh many times but it takes ages before i get 1 that i can defeat and keep my streak going. And without keeping the streaks it is very difficult to reach anything close to 5.000 - 10.000 points, super hard to reach rewards at 25.000 points.

    I hope the GM's could collaborate on this.

    thank you

    Most arenas start like that Luka. It's been like that for a long time. It also based on your realm. If most people are stronger than you, you'll most likely always see them in the arena list (arena list can use a tweak because it's a bit redundant).

    Many players have played for a long time so that kinda answers your question because old players who return or new players will always struggle a bit in the arena.

    Wish you the best of luck in arena tho

      One of the behaviors of the arena matching seems to take your deck rank in consideration. For example... if you never achieve SS or SSS Rank... And you maintain a deck purposely at Rank S. Only 15% of your matches will be SSS or greater. 35% of your matches will be SS and the remaining 50% will be NPCs and S Rank and lower.

      Once you hit SS and especially SSS Rank in achievements, your matching will be like everyone else despite your actual skill rank with the game.

      Now as for might.

      Assuming you are at 200% Streak. and only able to do easy slot occasionally (for argument sakes let's say every other refresh), you will gain approx 90 might every 6 minutes.

      it will take you 11h7m to complete 10,000 might. At your slow pace in fighting, you will never deplete the Bonus Might Pool so you can sit there straight for the entire period. This is the optimal option economically.

      Now the best way to do arenas is to fight every slot no matter win or lose but making sure you have a streak buff used so that you guarantee to get 1 might from it and typically 4 might for losing.

      Assuming you can kill at least 1 slot every pass you will average approx 34 might every 30-45 seconds.

      It only takes 10 seconds to move from match slot, skip, tapping okay and moving to next slot. Some times lag will be an issue so for arguement sake lets double the actual time it takes per slot.

      So 60 seconds to do all 3 slots for 34 might. and in 6 minutes, you will gain 204 might despite suffering a 33% win ratio.

      You will gain 10,000 might in 4h54m.

      As you can see, it make no sense to rely on 200% streak other than to conserve tickets.

      Recently they removed Ticket Rewards from a lot of arenas, and doubled/tripled the cost to fight in these arenas. Those arenas that do offer tickets, only give back 33% of the tickets used to partake. The only way to cut this loss off tickets is to do 200% streak and new players or free players will have a hard time maintaining tickets. Where PTW players can fight anyone usually because they have the deck strength to maintain 200% streak.

        Depending on your server, most players are douchebags, you may come across strong players but they fill their deck with donkeys or 1 star cards purposely lowering their deck for the community to easily advance for rewards.

        This is not something to rely on or expect, because 90% of the entire HoC Community think of only themselves.

        However, on my server, I encourage everyone in my guild to lower their deck ranks when done with arenas.

              Please enlighten me...

              All this thing....lowering the deck...
              Is it really neccesary?

              I mean...first time I play HoC...i really started from low down. But I like the game...and then suddenly...bam! I'm S22 now.

              Lowering the deck...does it really useful to gain more new player?

              HoC right now....is it more harder to play compare those old days when HoC first launched???
