Arena Teams

A team that supports Baelran with healing and buffs to make him near unkillable.

• Bring Baelran:
  
  Baelran is the one the team is built around, and after healing up and casting his Ultimate, will quickly clean up, while being hard to kill thanks to his massive health pool.
  
  Harak can work as an alternative, and with his heal denial skill, he can help lock down enemy units to get the first kill and start snowballing out of control.
• Pick 2 Supports: We typically want one fast-acting support, such as
  
  Rowan,
  
  Damian or
  
  Ludovic, and a slow but powerful support such as
  
  Elijah and Lailah or
  
  Koko to complement each other.
• 
  Elijah and Lailah are the first choice as they also provide Energy and haste while constantly healing Baelran.
• 
  Rowan works as a budget option, and can also be used alongside The Twins, thanks to his super potion giving Baelran a massive single target burst of healing, and Energy gain with his Ultimate.
• 
  Ludovic can also provide enough initial healing, with higher healing potential over a longer match, with some CC in his kit as well.
• 
  Damian is more resistant to getting sniped early, but provides less healing and utility overall.
• 
  Koko can help provide damage resistance for battles that drag on a bit more, and can buy time for Baelran to receive healing with her Ultimate.
• Bring a Tank. : We need someone to hold the line long enough for Baelran to get healed up and cast his Ultimate.
  
  Phraesto works best thanks to his Energy regen and Damage Resist buffs and two bodies, but any tank will do in a pinch.
• 
  Daimon can provide Baelran with some extra ATK and Life Drain, and is one of the better budget choices.
• 
  Thador can be used for his initial Energy boost, though Pandora is generally better for that purpose in non-Twins variants of this team.
• That leaves us with a Flex slot. We can opt to bring a powerful secondary Carry to help Baelran secure kills, that can be
  
  Lily May,
  
  Athalia,
  
  Pang, and so on.
• Alternatively, we can double down on healing and bring another character from the support list to make sure Baelran gets enough healing.
• We can also bring a tech choice depending on matchup, which includes
  
  Cyran,
  
  Pandora,
  
  Lily May or
  
  Reinier if the map favours it.

This team is extremely tanky thanks to Baelran’s high health pool, and can easily clean up most teams with his high damage swings.

Not as strong on defense as Baelran can easily be countered by Dunlingr, denying him either his Ultimate or healing from allies.

A team designed to survive against overwhelming burst damage, then strike back with a deadly counterattack.

• Bring Talene:
  
  Talene is a powerful damage dealer, enabled by healing, who can come back from the dead and deal damage in a large area, and is one of the main carries of this team.
• Bring Tasi:
  
  Tasi is another character who can revive after dying and can often solo the entire enemy team even after her own team has perished. Greatly benefits from Energy regen.
• Bring Bonnie: Aside from being a damage Carry,
  
  Bonnie also reduces the enemy’s Magic Damage Resistance, making other DPS deal more damage, and is a mainstay in this team as both Talene and Tasi rely on Magic Damage.
• Pick a Support (Optional): Any support will do, but following the revival theme,
  
  Damian tends to be the best pick as he can just summon another cart if his first cart is destroyed, enabling Talene and Tasi to come back stronger than ever.
  
  Pandora gives this team some extra initial burst damage, as we can trigger Tasi’s Ultimate right away, making the team more competitive with the faster teams of current meta, and she can still provide some value after dying.
  
  Ludovic is another popular choice that trades survivability for more healing and utility.
• Pick a Tank: We may want a Tank in order to buy some time for the rest of the team to do their thing.
  
  Phraesto in particular can be a powerful choice thanks to his Energy regen buffs, and ability to summon a new close at EX +15.
  
  Thoran also works as he can revive after an initial burst. Another option is
  
  Satrana, as she does very well against the Magic DMG meta.
• Alternatively, we can lean into the
  
  Saida team and bring Saida instead of a dedicated tank, as Saida starts out with two revives and can take some heat before Ultimately being removed from the battle.

This team is notorious for often surviving against the burst damage of burst damage teams, and then killing them after Talene and Tasi come back from the dead, supported by Damian’s healing cart.

This immortality can still be countered by

Cyran

A team geared towards taking out priority targets before they can pose a threat. Attack Oriented.

• Bring Athalia:
  
  Athalia is our main Carry, and she excels at eliminating the enemy damage carries as quickly as possible, before cleaning up the rest.
• Bring a Tank: Despite being an assassin team, tanks can be useful by buying just enough time for Athalia to do her thing, and avoiding unfortunate situations where she may be sniped early.
• 
  Dunlingr's disruption abilities greatly hinder the enemy team, while not being much of a problem for Athalia. In Curelock mode, the enemy cannot properly mitigate Athalia’s damage, and in Ultimate lock mode, Dunlingr can stop dangerous enemy Ultimates, while still allowing Athalia to do her thing as she is not a very Ultimate reliant hero.
• 
  Phraesto can be used as a more generally decent choice, and can be useful to keep one of The Twins alive while providing Energy to a second damage Carry or utility flex pick
• Bring The Twins: By linking Athalia and Dunlingr through
  
  Elijah and Lailah, we can provide healing and Energy, as well as Haste, greatly speeding up our game plan even more, and giving us some extra breathing room.
• That leaves us with two Flex slots.
• For arena defense, a good addition is a support such as
  
  Ludovic, to provide some extra staying power.
• For arena attack,
  
  Lily May complements Athalia’s game plan very well with her massive burst damage and Ultimate-denial.
  
  Vala or
  
  Silvina can also work depending on the enemy team, and can replace Athalia in a budget variant.
• As for our last slot,
  
  Cyran is always a good choice with his Artifact denial ability. He can also help finish off low health enemies.
• 
  Saida can also work well as she provides a secondary win condition in case Athalia falls, being capable of reviving herself at least twice before going down.

This is technically another type of nuke team, if your

• Bring Dionel:
  
  Dionel is best used as a build-around unit, being the most straightforward of the Celehypos, he just deals damage, so we’ll focus on amplifying that even further.
• Pick 2 Supports: More specifically, “buffers”. We want two support characters offering different Stat-boosting buffs to feed Dionel’s Intoxication stacks. Typically that means ATK, Haste and ATK SPD, but all stat-boosting buffs work.
• Pick 2 from Tank/DPS/CH: This is our flex slot, we can bring pretty much anyone, either to increase the team’s damage output, or survivability.
• 
  Dunlingr in is the ideal Celestial partner for Dionel, as he allows Dionel to still do his thing while also hindering the enemy team. But he is otherwise a niche hero and does not see much use outside this particular team so think twice before going all in on Dunlingr for Dionel.
• 
  Phraesto is always a good choice, being reasonably tanky and offering Energy regen, Damage Reduction, and Haste and vitality debuffs.
• 
  Harak is sometimes paired with Dionel as well in whale teams as Dionel helps him secure kills and snowball out of control, but it quickly becomes a very expensive team to invest in at this rate.

This team possess some of the highest burst damage potential in the game. This team is sometimes used by Whales who had the spare resources to invest in Dionel rather than the more utility-focused Celehypos. Requires very high investment up to Paragon tiers on Dionel to be competitive with other meta teams.

Not as strong on defense against near-peer attackers, Dionel’s position at the back of the team also makes him especially vulnerable to Assassin teams.

Any team based around providing massive amounts of haste, Energy and healing to the team, greatly speeding up the casting of abilities and Ultimates.

Bring The Twins. The Twins are the engine that makes the team go faster, and help make many slower characters more viable.

Choose a faction core between Graveborn, Lightbearer and Wilder.

• Bring Bonnie: Aside from being a damage Carry,
  
  Bonnie also causes the enemy to take more magic damage.
• Bring Ludovic:
  
  Ludovic works perfectly in graveborn core teams, providing fast healing at the start of battles, as well as some CC in his kit.
• This leaves us with two flex slots.
• Bring a DPS:
  
  Shemira is, hands down, the best damage Carry for any graveborn team, and should be the first one considered for the role.
• Bring some Utility: For our last slot, typically we want to bring someone with some utility for a specific purpose, and it will vary depending on each arena bracket and which teams you are facing. Here are some options:
• 
  Daimon: Damage buff with some tanking potential.
• 
  Pandora: Fits in pretty much every team and allows your team to land an Ultimate first.
• 
  Niru: Great synergy with Shemira and serves as Lily May bait.
• 
  Lily May: Anti-Ultimate and single target burst damage.
• 
  Cyran: Anti-Artifact and AOE instakill damage + CC.
• 
  Phraesto: Damage sponge and Energy regen source.
• 
  Hugin: ATK Buff, Haste, Energy and Shields.
• 
  Callan: Protection against burst damage at the start of battle.
• 
  Harak: Big additional threat that snowballs if left alone.
• 
  Athalia: Great at sniping important backline heroes.

• Bring Hugin:
  
  Hugin is one of the more powerful lightbearer support units, because he has a good variety of buffs at his disposal, can protect allies, and his Ultimate charges relatively quickly.
• Bring Cyran or Rowan:
  
  Cyran is a Lightbearer who has taken the pvp landscape by a storm with his ability to deny enemy artifacts, while providing a powerful AOE CC Ultimate much like
  
  Eironn, tied to his Ultimate, with the possibility of immediately defeating enemies at low HP. But if Cyran proves to be too slow and you would rather provide more support for your Carry,
  
  Rowan can also be used in this slot for even more Energy regen.
• This leaves us with two flex slots.
• Bring a DPS:
  
  Bonnie and
  
  Shemira both remain viable choices of DPS Carry here, but we can also double down on the Lightbearer faction with
  
  Sonja, or even bring
  
  Odie to better take advantage of Hugin’s etched tile.
• Bring some Utility: For our last slot, typically we want to bring someone with some utility, and it will vary depending on each arena bracket and which teams you are facing. Here are some options:
• 
  Lily May: Anti-Ultimate and single target burst damage.
• 
  Pandora: Fits in pretty much every team and allows your team to land an Ultimate first.
• 
  Ludovic: Always a reliable start-of-battle healer.
• 
  Phraesto: Damage sponge and Energy regen source.
• 
  Lucca: Not always viable in the high end, but can be a good choice with a team of minimal viable dupes.
• 
  Callan: Protection against burst damage at the start of battle.
• 
  Harak: Big additional threat that snowballs if left alone.
• 
  Athalia: Great at sniping important backline heroes.

• Bring Lily May:
  
  Lily May is always a constant threat, due to her ability to completely halt an enemy in their tracks by possibly cancelling their game-winning Ultimate unless played around.
• Bring Eironn: Aside from his signature Ultimate, Eironn also provides a significant Magic DEF debuff to further support Lily May, and can also Dodge Tank. Other viable choices here are:
• 
  Damian: Provides some Haste, CC, Reliable healing, and won’t die to burst damage.
• 
  Lorsan: Niche utility by enhancing Lily May’s burst and providing some extra healing.
• 
  Faramor: ATK buff, Healing Denial and True Damage conversion.
• This leaves us with two flex slots.
• Bring a DPS or Support:
  
  Bonnie and
  
  Shemira both remain viable choices of DPS Carry here, but we can also bring
  
  Talene, or a support for more sustain.
• Bring some Utility: For our last slot, typically we want to bring someone with some utility, and it will vary depending on each arena bracket and which teams you are facing. Here are some options:
• 
  Bryon/
  
  Niru: Anti-Lily Tech for Eironn.
• 
  Velara: Mostly used as Haste and DEF debuffer.
• 
  Pandora: Fits in pretty much every team and allows your team to land an Ultimate first.
• 
  Ludovic: Always a reliable start-of-battle healer.
• 
  Phraesto: Damage sponge and Energy regen source.
• 
  Cyran: Anti-Artifact and AOE instakill damage + CC.
• 
  Callan: Protection against burst damage at the start of battle.
• 
  Harak: Big additional threat that snowballs if left alone.
• 
  Athalia: Great at sniping important backline heroes.
