According to Gala News, players of Eternal Paradox are continuously devising new strategies to excel in the highly competitive Arena mode. As the game evolves, so do the tactics, with several key strategies emerging as dominant forces.
Val Speed
The 'Val Speed' strategy centers around Valentine, a mercenary known for her speed and devastating area-of-effect attacks. Valentine is only obtainable through end-of-season rewards based on HQ Level. Her fast and powerful attacks can decimate an entire opposing team quickly. However, her fragility is a significant drawback, making her vulnerable if not properly supported.
Akari complements Valentine perfectly with her Leader Skill, Blade Unleash, which enhances ally attack and speed. Even a low-level Akari can provide the necessary boost to make Valentine’s initial hit decisive, often leading to a swift victory.
Big Boys
This counter-strategy focuses on building a robust team capable of withstanding Valentine’s initial onslaught. The 'Big Boys' strategy prioritizes bulk and defense, utilizing mercenaries like William and Lucas who can absorb significant damage and provide shields and defense boosts.
Key mercenaries such as Torsten, Alex, and Zahra are integral to this approach. Torsten’s Berserker Rage increases his damage output as he takes more hits, while Alex’s area-of-effect bombs can turn the tide if the team survives the initial wave. Jin Ryu is another critical component, providing stunning attacks and massive damage with his Dragon’s Might Skill.
Debuff to Death
While less popular, the 'Debuff to Death' strategy is effective for players who can assemble the right team. This approach relies on mercenaries like Laction, Emma, Zarkhan, and Wang, who specialize in debuffs to incapacitate opponents gradually.
Zarkhan’s ability to inflict sleep, heal blocks, and damage over time makes him ideal for the opening attack. Emma’s attacks become more potent with each debuff on the enemy, and her Taboo Wave can spread these debuffs across the opposing team. Other useful debuffers include Camilla, who can silence enemies, and Wang, whose stunning attacks can turn the battle in your favor.
Tons of Ways to Win
The Arena in Eternal Paradox offers a complex and dynamic battlefield where players must adapt their strategies based on their opponents. While certain tactics may dominate the meta, flexibility and experimentation are key to finding success. Players are encouraged to switch their teams and strategies to maintain an edge over their competitors.
As the meta continues to evolve with updates and new seasons, players will need to stay informed and adjust their tactics accordingly. The quest for the coveted God of the Arena title is an ongoing challenge that demands both skill and strategic acumen.
