There seemed to be two primary methods of cheating before:

1) Acquiring/reusing all five spells by exploiting glitch’s in the game’s ability to remember that you had already used them. Now that we don’t see the spells our opponents are using, this may only matter in that the cheaters are earning more stars via arena wins than we are. It should no longer cause you to lose a specific arena match.

2) Having birds leveled up to an insane amount that doesn’t match the apparent amount of time they’ve spent playing the game (for example star level in the 20s or below, with birds at level 11 or 12). I’ve noticed that the system now always matches you up against someone at your own star level. This could still be a problem for someone legitimately at a lower experience level, but from what I’ve seen the matching algorithm is doing a much better job nowadays, so presumably if you had all your birds at level 4 or 5, for example, you’d see someone at your same star level with birds at or just barely above your bird levels.

In short, cheating is still possible, but the net effect of it should be way less frustrating for an honest player now.
