Arena Exploit? Can someone please explain this?
Tell me if I’m wrong but is this player intentionally using Hodas retreat mechanic so that every time a player attacks him Hoda retreats and the match comes out as a draw?

- Think about it yourself, if hermit escapes, which he would, then It’s a loss not a draw, the attacker would get the win, and Then he will get knocked down a spot. So yes he is simply helping his arenamates rank up after his payout.
Have you not fought a squad with hermit on it? Save him for last, Cuz he auto escapes, which gives you the win. Heck when hermit was first released there was a bunch of threads about how he auto escapes and how he does no damage, and it’s like only using four chars on your squad. By using hermit s9lo there, that is literally simply to make it easy for mins arena mates to win. That’s all.it is. "Smidday;c-1613203" wrote:
Ok guys I thought you would work this one out, I know what he’s doing. When someone attacks his Hoda, Hoda will automatically retreat causing the game to result in a draw, therefore he will remain number 1 and can’t be knocked out. If you don’t believe me it happened on one of AhnaldT101’s videos where the put R2 against Hoda for a joke to recreate scenes from the movie
In arena it's not a draw when an enemy Hoda retreats, it's a win. I fight a Hoda team daily."Chicagotarsier;c-1613246" wrote:
80 percent of the posts have no idea how Hoda works and defends him as WAI good guy.
Smells like a propaganda effort.
Can you clarify which bits are wrong, and why it's not a nice thing he is doing in giving people an easy win?"Chicagotarsier;c-1613246" wrote:

I think you're in the 20%.
I see two possibilities here.
(1) He's setting it so no one can lock him. If someone attacks, he can instantly retake the top spot at payout. This would assume he's in a shard chat and perhaps has 1 competitor who isn't.
(2) He's just over nurfing for his squad mates to let them grab first, then he'll change his squad back to what probably is traya."Smidday;c-1613203" wrote:

Please post a link to the video of this happening.
I have played in arena against teams with HY and left him for last causing him to retreat and giving me a win. It is common now with the jedi being viable. Maybe it is different if he is the only 1 but I dont see why.

Think about it everyone would just attack him and he would drop right out of the top 100 overnight
Yes - and some people actually enjoy playing the game. So he'd put in a strong team later on the next day (or try different ones) and fight his way back up. We've had a couple of people do it on our shard. It's not a trap or a lock or anything of the sort. It's a "go ahead, beat me" move.
The funny thing is that the people that do it are amazed they don't drop farther because everyone is paranoid and doesn't attack them (as evidenced by many of the misinformed posters in this thread).
It's a lot more fun than smashing your teams up against HSith for garbage rewards."Woodroward;c-1613028" wrote:

Sounds kind of like one of those shard collusion things that "doesn't happen."
It's "cooperation" if you're in on it. It's "collusion" if you're on the outside. ;)"UnbelieverInME;c-1613409" wrote:

Better start cooperating then ;)
