Arena rank got nothing to do with gw difficulty. It's your teams arena power that matters. So if you upgraded lumi that might increase the difficulty.
It's last "arena win" is my understanding of how they calculate GW difficulty. Which is why I lose on purpose, but upgrade my arena team.
This is incorrect. At least the last time any developer actually spoke on the topic it is the highest POWER of your team with your last arena win. Has nothing to do with rank. It also won't change if you later make your arena team weaker, drop in rank or lose more often.
If you win an arena match with a 22k arena team, your GW will based on a 22k team - until you win with a higher powered team. Regardless if you swap out to an 18k team or lose rank later.
If later you win an arena match with a 25k power team, your GW matchups will be based on a 25k powered team. Again, it doesn't matter if you lose rank, or swap back in a weaker team.
This was all confirmed by devs on Reddit.
