@poptimus I am actually quite interested in the opposition you’ll face in Diamond. I am perhaps reading a bit more in to your comments than intended, but it seems to me that you are facing far more variety in opponents in terms of Banner Sets and even bird combinations than I am. I believe this has more to do with your Mastery being 7-9 than being in Platinum. I am somewhat regretting being lvl 50, all M12 (at least as far as Arena is concerned) as the opposition is very similar…all Valiant Set and typically Power Team (although occasionally Witch is thrown in). I am fortunate to have an Enchanted Mana Set as well as Twin Lightning, as recently Thunderbird/Skulkers is increasing in popularity simply due to the probability of critical proc added to the +X% damage stacked from these classes. Can make for a very short battle if you aren’t careful and/or are unlucky.

I think we are getting sidetracked here, as I believe what @jadedbacon is referring to (I certainly am) is not what classes are suitable for objectives (specifically the “win without KOing an enemy bird” here), but the Sets more suitable to achieve this goal. Most of us are not so flush with Shards (ie LC) as to enchant multiple sets to max, so we obviously would concentrate on the ones most used for the birds we most often choose. I would think for most of us this means sets such as Dragon Breath that offer Chain (very useful in Arena). What this means is that other Sets become significantly under powered given the nature of the competition. It therefore becomes not quite as simple as to say “use Steel Force instead” as this is akin to bringing a knife to a gun fight.
