LOL @aeshna! I know that story too.
So people who picked up on gift farming from the beginning would have already bumped their birds up to Level 8 by now. Since Rovio kaiboshed red gifts, these players got to maintain their status and they are probably the ones kicking our butts in the arena these days. They had a head start on promoting their birds and they are enjoying the benefits.
But here’s a little strategy I figured out: Take at least one spell into the Arena with you. If you get it on the first screen, use it- hopefully it will clear the screen and you will get another spell card regenerated from filling your destructo-meter bar, because you shouldn’t get a duplicate bird card since you are still stocked up with them. With any luck it will be a ME or a better card than the one you used, which will come in handy near the end of the battle as you get harder structures to clear. It seems to work for me most of the time.
Trying the “cold-start” reboot method takes so long to get an evenly matched player. Many times I will get the exact same person 4x in a row… 0% of the time they are a lower status than I am, as a matter of fact I don’t think I’ve ever gone into an Arena match with someone I’m better than from the get-go. Things like this make me doubt that player selection is random.
