An idea to improve GAC time dramatically
I'm not sure about the rest of the playerbase, but one of my biggest gripes about Grand Arena (and Grand Arena Championship) is the defense phase being 24 hours long. Issue: Players have to wait a...

I want to keep the ability to set defense depending on who I face. Therefore i strongly oppose the blind/guess-who-you-face defense setting.
I don't want to have to set 7 or 8 defense just to use 3 and then have to do that in one 24h period which might be inconvenient at times..Therefore that suggestion isn't a sensible solution for me either.
I don't mind having a day in-between to set defenses and don't see the issue. They probably won't run GAC more often or else they would have to cut rewards drastically which would lead to other complaints. Therefore I might have less downtime during a GAC but bigger gaps in between GACs. I prefer to rather have a constant flow of GACs than being very active for a few weeks and then have a major gap with nothing to do.
--> keep it as it is. Having a day to properly set defenses with a known opponent is just fine.
this is a variation on that suggestion that allows defense for all but the first player to done in the first 24 hours:

They could add one more layer and let you set up to 8 defensive lineups. One for each possible opponent and one default (to be used for any opponent you haven't set a defense for).
That's not a bad idea actually, it would definitely overload the defense phase day with alot more work but I guess it's not a bad trade. Also it would be 7 lineups not 8
No. It would be 8. As I explained: one for each possible opponent and a default. Example for the default, you have one Malak in your group and want a special defense of you face that opponent. The rest can be there same. Set the default defense and set a defense for the Malak opponent. Done. When you face and of the other 6 it'll user the default.
Also, you shouldn't have to set all your defenses on day 1. Just your next opponent. Defenses should remain unlocked until you enter battle.
it seems very doable and allow for the whole event to be shorter, which is kind of nice.
sure there is a little extra work to set defenses for opponents you will not face, but I still think this could all reasonably be done and could be a benefit for everyone.
