It's just that you spend all this time and resources to get your guys lvl d up, star up , equip up And you still can't compete , it just makes you wonder why your doing it .

Lmao , your right!

Welcome to the forum.

If you do a search you will find a post from a developer on how the GW dynamic works!

I have a pretty large number of lvl 1 garbage characters, doesn't seem to have much of an effect.

I think its just broken.

*sigh*

Unlike the wookie, I'll actually be helpful. Here:

To be fair, it's not entirely clear that arena power is the only factor. And INRAJ did say it's confirmed broken for now.

Seemed pretty clear how they intended it to work (last arena squad win) but yea, it's currently broken which is why people's experience vary so much.

I had a theory awhile back that GW matches you up using the combined power of all your characters. With this theory I decided to ONLY gear/level/star my A team and no others. After ditching the rest of my characters by a solid 10 levels, 4 star levels, and two gear levels, this week I have been able to nearly auto-play each battle of GW as none of them have been higher gear/level/star than my A team.

Cexy, you are right but for wrong reason. Ignore the reddit post, as too much data conflicts with that guys theory.

For some reason, gearing lower characters has a huge influence on GW. Keeping ur A team geared and ignoring the rest is the best strategy so far

I did see that before posting, but as others said its kinda broken.

When GW changed I was in the low 50s and had most of my characters (12 of them) at that level, GW instantly became impossible. A friend of mine dropped alot of money on the game and unlocked every character and got alot of 7*s quickly, for him GW was also impossible. I decided to focus all progress on my favorite 5 (nightsister team) and GW gradually got easier and easier. Last week I only had a few opponents higher level than me, and now there are none. My friend also decided to focus on leveling and gearing his top team and has now been able to clear GW this week.

It was through this process for both of us that I theorize GW opponents are based of your entire squad power.

Seems like it might have just been a coincidence for you and your friend plus, there's a number of reasons why it might seem easier over time. I made an alt account and I noticed the level of my GW opponents was roughly the same when I decided not to win any arena matches for a few days. Then their level suddenly jumped when I decided to win an arena match (and my squad's power had risen substantially) so I do think what the dev described is working to some degree. For some, however, it is broken and so it's tough to really formulate any other theories until its fixed.
