@neomerlinmagic I found that when you repeat this trick mutiple times, sometimes the game will stop asking for an internet connection completely, which means that you can play many arena battles without interruption. I would still disable airplane mode from time to time in between, because if there is no internet connection, your scores are only saved locally and may be lost if the game crashes. But if this happens, you can also get cheap set items if you have an unseen GPM notification, i.e. a friend has used your GPM, but you haven’t seen them fill up your bar yet. When the game has stopped asking for an internet connection, you can just visit the GPM (works for the arena GPM as well), see the rainbow bar grow, exit and reenter, and the rainbow bar will grow again. If you repeat this long enough to completely fill the bar, you can pay 3 (or 5) LC for a guaranteed set item, and then repeat until the bar is full again. When the game is in this state, you can even switch off airplane mode. You won’t get generated arena opponents, but the GPM trick will still work until the game is restarted (i.e. you see the title screen).
There seems to be an additional condition for the GPM trick to work reliably though: Something in the game needs to (temporarily) break to make this exploit possible, in addition to not requiring an internet connection anymore. I found the most reliable way to tell if this will work (without wasting your one shot, because if it doesn’t work, your notifications are gone), is to check the dojo or the timer of a running event: If this shows some kind of bogus timer (in the dojo: 12:34:56), AND the game does not ask for an internet connection anymore, you’re good to go.
