@cosmo2503 Sweet Witch means the Witch class with the Honey set (set bonus called “Sweet”). It gives you a ton of survivability in Arena as the Witch is able to heal the Banner for 6-7k each turn. This will (most of the time) make you unkillable unless your opponent gets extremely lucky.
Best sets to max out? Let’s start with the easiest: (I’ve bolded my personal selection)
Banner:
Emblems: Ressurection, Chronos, Vengeful, Retalliate (I don’t use it, but I see a lot of people using it)
Valiant Set – Just get it, even with it nerfed it’s still really good
The other sets are still viable if you run a composition that really synergizes with the banner set bonus.
Red:
Classes: Paladin/Samurai… maybe Stone Guard
Dragonbreath – If you prefer to AoE your opponents
Banner Breaker/Masamune – If you prefer/need strong single target damage against the banner
Titan’s – Only if you want to run some kinda Stun setup with Matilda/Nightmare and Frost Savage
Chuck:
Classes: Wizard/Thunderbird… maybe Rainbird if you want to run Venomous
Twin Lightning – If you prefer to AoE your opponents
Sonic/Reset – Can prevent your opponents from reviving, I’ve been trying it for awhile and it doesn’t appear to work that often, but your mileage may vary
Mana – Works wonders against any Venomous or any team with annoying negative effects like princess, frost savage, etc
Matilda:
Classes: Witch… maybe Druid if you want to run Venomous or Bard if you want to run a Stun setup, although personally if I wanted to run a stun setup I’d just keep the Witch and give her Doom/Nightmare, the healing is too good to pass up
Honey/Sweet – Makes Matilda better at what she does best – Healing
Forest – Only really useable if your opponent is also running Witch or some other strong healing effect
Doom/Nightmare – Only really useable if your running a stun heavy group like Samurai/Titans and Frost Savage or using the Blues
Bomb:
Classes: Sea Dog/Captain… maybe Frost Savage if you want to run some stun setup
Scissors – If you prefer to AoE your opponents
Gladiators – Despite not being as strong as advertised, still 30% increased damage is nothing terrible
Finishers – Can finish off the banner, although watch out if the target your hitting has any form of damage reduction, then the effect will not finish off the target
Blues:
Classes: Really… anything, they’re that good – My recommendation is Spies, if using Marksman you need to bring other classes that capitalize on the extra damage (Samurai, Stone Guard, etc)
Beep Beep – If you prefer to AoE your opponents
Artillery Strike – If you prefer strong single target damage
Shadow Step – The 10% avoidance seems to be able to trigger off of an AoE attack that also hits Blues. If that happens, the whole attack is negated and none of your birds take damage. Should note though, any bonus damage (like Dragon, Twin Lightning) will still go through
There’s talk that the Blues next set will provide a bonus to win the coin toss even if you lose it. The coin toss is one of my biggest gripes so that’s one I’ll keep an eye out for.
