I’d recommend using different teams so you can learn the strengths and weaknesses of each bird. The arena sort of makes you do this and different teams are better for different objectives. The same is true outside the arena. For example, most people probably never use the cleric, but any battle where you use 4 birds makes the cleric one of the most valuable members of the team.
I pretty much stick to 3 team configurations in the arena. The venom team (rogues, rainbird, druid), no healing and no bird knockout team (samurai, cannoneer, archers), pure offense (wizard, sea dog, spies or skulkers). All three are very effective at different objectives and you notice each team has completely different birds. You can substitute different birds like the bard, paladin, mage or captain when needed.
I don’t use the venom team anymore because I lost all my banner items and almost all my off-hand items except stuff I was equipped with when Rovio fixed my save file. After the fix I can play on my iPad and the game rarely crashes. However the venom team isn’t very good without the blessed set. I don’t even have a sweet flag so my venom team is too weak to use. I used to have at least 2 versions of every set and banner set except the new sets for Chuck and Matilda. Now I have only the blessed flag and 1 complete set for each of my birds. Rovio gave me 450 LC to help get some of my items back. If I’m lucky, I’ll get 1/3rd of my items back next week during the 5x rainbow riot.
