Ok, perhaps I am doing something wrong. But I hardly ever loose an Arena Battle, even against higher levels and loosing the coin toss. The reason is that a) the AI is not very clever and b) a well rounded set of birds (now lv34 mastery 7). I use Chuck wizard with the Phoenix set, Blue Rogues with The Sling and Plushies and Mathilda Druid with the Nightmare set (and no, I NEVER bought gold and I don’t have Facebook, all comes from Daily Golden Pig and lucky tosses from Piggy McCool’s Golden Pig and my own free tosses). In this setup, the enemy allways attacks Chuck first. This is great since he is able to withstand the first wave because of Phoenix revive. My first attack goes against the enemys banner. Sticky Goo and Thorny Vine ensure it will loose ca. 3000 HP the next three rounds, together with the ca. 1000 in the first round. The next rounds I take out the birds doing the largest damage (i.E. Bomb, Blues), usually Chuck is down but Goo and Thorny do their magic again. Also remember: If you take down a bird via the Goo/Thorny effect, you will win a round! They don’t get a move but still have no round ticks on their bar and only get the first tick in the next round. When Goo/Thorny run out on the Banner, the Banner gets attacked next; rinse and repeat. With this I win nearly all battles, usually with at least two stars. Of course, you have to adapt for some Daily Objectives, but the basic message is: ATTACK THE BANNER!
Some things to remember: If the enemy Banner has the “saved by” effect and the corresponding bird is in the battle, this tactic can be dangerous because of a small bug. When the bird “saves”, it sometimes does not take any damage. You are lost then because your attacking bird will be unable to move in the next round. The only solution is to quit the battle, thus loosing it. The only option is to be shure that the “save” bird is allways knocked out before attacking the Banner. Also, if you see enemy Blues with the Ballista Set, KILL THEM and try to keep them from doing any action!!!! This set is able to do massive damage, esp. if the enemy Banner has some effects that enhance the chance of critical hits. I was shocked to get some >1500 hits in one go, not to mention the Goo afterwards and I barely survived this battle.
