@pointless This will surely require further testing as in the beginning I didn’t notice any change in opponents, while switching between my banner sets and lowering my Power Score but then again, in the past there was no Valiant Set and more Rage / Venom teams around, so I didn’t feel the need to.
Lately instead, every opponent with 1k+ Power Score I meet, either has a Valiant set or a Diamond set fully upgraded, so I tried to switch my banner items around (and sometime weapons too) to see if I could manage to find the sweet spot between stronger opponents and a decent amount of power to win the battles… and in the last 4-5 weeks (cheaters aside) I found out that if I stay under 1050~ power score, I meet way less Valiant users or atleast way less opponents with 1.2k+ power score, making the points farm way easier.
Still, I believe that, as someone else stated previously (can’t remember who) your timezone and availability of opponents when you play Arena, are the major points to take into consideration, the game will always try to find active opponents in a certain range of power score from you, so if you want to avoid the Valiant Sets flood, your only choice is to stay away from that range or try to play in impossible time frame of the day (as in, early in the morning or very late at night)… this works the same way as when the game can’t find any opponents for you (for the reasons we all know) and it pops up a random generated noob team.
If one or both those requirements are met, chances are you’ll face the lower bracket opponents available based on your current league.
Then I finally decided to try with a Rage Set with 975 Power Score and no emblem upgraded and I faced only two-three Valiant users so far in the past 4 weeks.
This last week I decided to upgrade my Time Jump, raising my score to 1065 and I got caught in the Valiant hell, where 3 out of 4 opponents got that damn set… still, it’s the last week, so I guess I can’t complain.
