@clovos — Since a lot of us think the arena is now pay to win, I did some investigation, and I think our opinion is really correct. The data I collected demonstrates that your opinion that the arena is not pay to win is generally incorrect. You’ve said that you don’t think people who always use 5 spells, which equates to pay to play (and win), doesn’t really give them an advantage in winning in the arena.
My investigation shows that using spells in the arena does help your score because there are an unlimited number of rooms. In regular levels, because the number of rooms is limited, it does not help increase your score.
I ran two arena battles using several spells each time. In all cases, except the snow flake, I was able to clear the room only using one spell. I didn’t get that high a score for clearing the room, because of the fact that spells do not have a multiplayer for the score, However I got ~100,000 pts. that I wouldn’t have gotten without the spell. So if you use 4 spells (all except snowflake), you should get about 400,000 more pts. than someone who does not use spells.
The result is different for the regular levels now that multipliers have been introduced into the scoring system. If you use a spell and clear a room, you might only get 100,000 pts., while you might get several 100K to 1M if you cleared the room using a single bird. Since there are a limited number of rooms, using spells in regular levels does not help your score, although it can help you clear rooms.
For the record, I have 24 stars, and all my birds are level 6.
