The arena would be vastly improved if secondary stats for speed were capped at no more than 10. Currently anybody who has poorly developed meta game characters with high speeds dominate. I just lost to a guy who had three five star toons with all their speed and I assume gear jacked up. I don't mind the gear so much, but the arena is all about getting the highest speed mods on your characters and that limits everyone's customization options and makes the arena boring (and frustrating).

At the same time, if mods were capped as you proposed, the games would boil down to an RNG fest of whose characters won a coin toss to move first.

I used to think like that before.. i think it's not fair. But after all my swgoh journey.. i think it's fair for people who do the hard work (or spend money buy mods) to get better result.I rarely farm chars in cantina.. around 3 month lately i spend with farming mod. I don't get beast mode, but eventually the time came when i get nice mod. I've enjoyed my speed secondary in arena now. Well.. that.. u beat high speed mod with more higher speed mod. :frowning:

You say invest in mods but then ita just RNG on if a good one drops. You coukd spend years doing 3 refreshes a day and never get double figures, theoretically. Or pull a 20+ speed secondary on your first try.Considering how game changing super speed mods can be it should really be something the devs review. Either cutting speed back orupping other stats to make them more viable

The fix is quite simple. Buff the other stats so speed isn't essential. You can still have better mods, but it doesn't have to be speed.

High speed on secondary stats breaks the arena.

Super speed mods are not that essential anymore, Rex lead took care of that. My team never moves first (although I have good mods) and i still manage to win every battle.

God bless Rex lead (and thrawn because of the same reason)

The answer of all RNG is.. u do it more, the result will come after all. At least, it's better now.. 100% drop rate. Can u imagine how frustate people farm mod back in 2016? no 100% drop.

I think that's already dev answer to high speed mod, give chance to players for get speedy mod by make them 100% drop. imo :frowning:

Can't really nerf speed mods just for arena's sake, they are used in raids too. I would rather see counters to speed or buffs to other secondary stats to make them more comparable
this character from another game would be a really cool counter http://dclegends.wiki/wiki/Reverse_Flash:_Professor_Zoom

It would be nice if it wasn't so rng based... mods and secondaries that is. It seems more appropriate that one should be able to "build" their dream mod by "refining" a base mod by earning various elements.

Really the system right now isn't that bad, because highend mods are an end-game product for those with nothing left to spent their energy and credits on. For those in middle game and having to give up mod-farming for Luke and Ewoks in Cantina are the ones that the pressure is on to decide.

My example: I am not using Cantina energy on Ewoks because I have been trying to get a stoopid 5dot Speed Triangles mod for 2 weeks. I guess this is my only mod complaint. A system to build a mod up to be what you want it to be... even if it took much longer would feel like I'm achieving something rather that simming 3 refreshes in 10 seconds... just to not get a 5dot Triangle...

I've invested quite a bit, I think that when you look at all the top player in the arena, they all use speed. The boost speed and everything is secondary to that. It simplifies what should be a robust and complex system. All characters have base speed so it wouldn't be RNG. And I'm not saying take it out completely. But for the sake a gameplay variety, it would be nice to see the speed mods nerfed. I think the devs have stated that they want variety in game play strategies, and when everyone in the arena uses speed only, that aspect of the game is gone. It's not like people couldn't invest in other super powerful mods. IMO of course.
