Understanding Strategies

[Adoede]

Hey Frostee,

There are glads who have found a way to overcome that particular problem that you can track and observe. Best thing to do when you get stuck is to see how other glads are successful at doing the things you're having trouble with. Spend the trophies to scout them and see how they build out their skills, gear and race. Watch how they use their triggers for clues about what might be effective. There are actually several ways to get beyond the problem you're running into...

To track a particular glad, add their stable to your watch-list. Then when you click on arena - arena results - recruits/friends/watchlist - watch, only the glads on your watch-list show up. That lets you see all of that glads fights for the day. That's a good place to start.

Random tips - often the simplest answers are the best. If you are having trouble hitting a defensive glad, lowering activity or blood lust will improve your accuracy and attack power. Optimizing your skills is also useful (meaning a few skills at rank 10 are much more effective than many skills at rank 8). To improve the effectiveness of your skills, check which stats effect that skill and boost them with gear. At the higher levels, a small increase in the effectiveness of your skills can make a dramatic difference in your win/loss percentages.

Bumping this thread since I've edited it to add more detail about attack power and defense and the levels at which strategy lines become available.
