hello everyone welcome to another episode at wackorash gaming
There was an announcement made in the State of Survival Official Discord server of a raft
new updates, which will be added to the game on June the 1st 2022 on patch version 1.16.00
In today's video, I'm going to share with you some key information that you need to
know to be successful in the Arena of Doom 2.0
Some of us, we have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, may remember the Arena
of Doom, during the Joker Event.
Unfortunately for many newer states, you may not have experienced it due to the time limited
licence.
If you want to have a nosey of it, I've added a link above to the previous video, or alternatively
you can check it out in the description below.
The Arena of Doom 2.0 comes with some significant changes, so let's walk through it one by one
to give you those key information Similar to the previous version, the Arena
of Doom 2.0 is a both a PvP and Pv E battle simulator.
In the early rounds, you'll will be matched with a few P v E battles, and as you move
up the rankings you'll be in PvP battles.
I do want to make sure folks appreciate that the information I am sharing with you comes
from the PTR server, thus may be subject to changes when it goes to the live server.
Please do keep this in mind.
What do you need to know?
1) governor buffs for lethality and troop attack are valid
2) settlement buffs are valid (except for march capacity buff)
3) massive march talent skills is not valid 4) you get 15 challenges daily (5 will be
for free), the remaining 10 needs to be purchased using biocaps
5) you are allowed 5 refreshes per day 6) your ranking in this event will be based
by the total points that you collect
I will talk more about the tips and tricks of this event at the back end of this video,
as now I'm sure the most important thing that you will want to know will be about the rewards?
There are 4 different rewards
1) for every battle that you are victorious you will get gold coins
these gold coins , can be used in the arena of doom store
I personally like the feature of stores so it allows the survivor community to pick the
rewards that you need.
The store refreshes weekly - so based on it's current setup there are some juicy rewards
you can get on a weekly basis.
2) as you rank up, you will get rewards for each tier as you progress through the levels.
The rewards are sent to your in-game messages!
then there is the season rewards.
these rewards, you will only get these when the season is over.
In the PTR Server, the current season runs for 42 days
3) the warrior list rewards, consists of the top 500 chiefs based on their ranks
Then there is the Legend's list rewards, which consist of the first 500 chiefs who reach
the legendary rank and are placed on the list in chronological order.
How do I setup my marches?
There are 2 line ups that you can set.
1) your defence line up, is different from your attacking line up
firstly set your defence line up, and use the correct formation.
2) your attacking line up, the formation can be different from your defensive line up.
if you want to know more about what is the best formation for your generation of heroes,
check out the link below in the kratos server.
Those folks have done a lot of work around these and it contains a lot of valuable information
that will come handy for this event.
However, currently in the PTR server, you cannot set any troop type to more than 300,000
in total.
The system automatically re-calibrates this, so this gorilla advices you to watch out for
this bug (or in some folks eye, a new feature maybe)
Shoutout to Persephone from State 432 for bringing this to my attention.
For the attacking line-up, prior to each challenges , you can modify the lanes, you can also change
the formation of your troops and finally can also change the heroes.
Does it use old battle mechanics or new battle mechanics?
Due to the fact that it has this battle button and that you cannot use the resonating heroes
in the Arena of Doom, it uses new battle mechanics.
Only Alliance Showdown, Azurtane Heist and Reservoir Raid today, uses the old battle
mechanics.
So in summary, your hero skills are active during the battles in the Arena of Doom
How Does the Battle Work?
There is a minimum of 3 Rounds and it's a bit like a Battle Royale
The winner of each round, even though already battered and bruised, will fight the next
round against a new set of fresh heroes.
The rounds will last a maximum of 5 rounds.
Now i kind of like watching the animation at first, but always spped it up by times
2 speed.
Pretty medival, throwing sticks and stones at each other but after watching it a few
times, I'm like nuh, thats enough.
I just skip it now!
Now we come to the part where we talk about the tips and tricks to be successful in this
event.
I will be honest and let you know that this event is currently heavily in favour of high
spenders and max players.
In the PTR server, the event consisted of several state, whereas in the old arena of
doom, it only consisted of players from one state
If this event was to cross multiple states - it is 100% certain the high spenders/ max
players will take all the legendary list (ranking rewards).
This in turn, just creates another event in favour of those who has money (but may not
require the materials) Whilst I would love to say that, this event
is more friendly to f2p, low spenders and mid spenders, right now I don't see it.
There needs to be some equilibrium for f2p, low spenders, and mid spenders, to also tango
for the Legendary List.
However, for now, the Legendary List Ranking, I can see only the high spenders or max players
getting there fast and sitting there until the season is over.
So if you are an f2p, low spender and mid spender, I would suggest that you aim to get
those gold coins to clean out the Arena of Doom store, this is definitely worth your
time.
Anyway, back to the tips - and right now I would say there are 3 things
1) you have 15 challenges daily - use them wisely to win battles that you can win.
Remember it's about collecting points for most folks so you can rank high
2) check your formation and your setup before challenges, so you increase your chances to
win the battles.
3) this golden nugget of information - you have 5 refreshes daily, use it!!
if you see the group of choices you have to make challenges are difficult, refresh it
to get another group and it may be easier.
So that's all from me folks.
If there are significant changes, I will make an update but I expect this to be rolled out
to the live servers, group of states for further testing.
