Welp I got witches in my 1st match and I felt unbelievably angry and I’m still bitter now but congrats to the winners because I know them and they built this team in the intentions of showing off stupid the sleep staff was. The sleep staff and status staves at large have been overpowered the entire arena. It’s just that most builds didn’t really understand how to abuse it until witches came around. They hit almost all the time if you invest into magic at all. You need to completely over invest into res to even have a good chance to avoid not even like a consistent chance. You need 21 res for it to not be 100% in this case. We’re not gonna mention just how bad over-investing resistance is in most matchups. Sync is the worst niche counter skill ever. Its application is very low and it doesn’t even prevent the user from getting slept so it only potentially forces a reset of the match rather than countering it. Status staves also occupy the position of being better and safer than doing an attack yet have stronger and less counter able effects than just attacking. Sleep specifically is complete bullshit. You skip 5 phases or even 6 phases because of powerstaff with a 2 turn sleep. This status doesn’t give you room to do literally anything and the 2-4 attacks for free coming from a super non-committal player 1k gold cheap staff is insane. It creates MUs you absolutely shouldn’t win because the enemy is physically incapable of interacting with you outside of like 3 skills that can activate by getting hit. One of the cool mantras for the arena is “you can’t plan for everything” you can’t this is true. Status staves by far create a “even if you plan around it you still have an insane chance to lose” it’s hard to win against the sleep staff even while you’re specifically hating on it. And in those cases you just end up losing to most normal builds. So either you snipe the problem or L which I really don’t think is fun for anyone involved. So overall I just think status staves should’ve been dumpstered from the start or if not all of them at least the sleep staff because sleep specifically creates 0 interaction games. PS: I’m still salty I’m sorry
And so mangs hibernated until the Fe4 remake, which means he got to see the heat death of the universe haha. Also gg to team 'Which team are you cheering for?', they were epic
Me and my partner won FFA! Very fun stream (Even if the main bracket was kind of eh because sleep staves) but I still had fun! All I can really hope for is that we win the grand FFA or at least make it far, here's hoping to a fun final round!
Hi Mangs. If your reading this please heart. I hope you and your wife are doing well. just wanted to give an idea for the Grand Final if it's possible to do so. May the Winner of the Arena can fight against your Avatar (Mangs) and your Partner. And sadly I couldn't enter the arena this time as my Partner didn't submit his Gladiator in time but, I hope that one day I can participate in the Arena.
So many sleep staves that even mangs fell asleep. Rip 2 lithuanians
Congratulations, Witches in Stitches. You ruined the arena forever.

In the end PH and Dsnoon wins since this is literally their build but if there were more than 1 second of thinking into it
