Arena is decided by a “coin flip”

It’s like Poe meta all over again...

Arena is currently primarily EP led teams with Vader to move fast and ideally give TM on his first sequence of attacks (force crush followed by culling blade)

That worked great for a moment (your personal experience may have varied depending on your mods and how fast you could make Vader)

But then Sion was introduced!

So now he gives a potential TM boost to Nihilus when he takes damage...

And next comes the “coin flip”

Does the opposing team’s Nihilus move next? Or does your team win the flip and EP or Nihilus of whoever moves next?

That probably will decide how the battle progresses...

You might win... or you might lose...

It all depends on pure RNG and how lucky you are in. that particular battle...

I don’t personally care for it much... and in high end arena it is becoming more and more prevalent with the way the meta is moving...

What do you think? Is the “coin flip” meta back again?

    Also, @leef @LastBucsfan @ImYourHuckleberry @Olddumper to pick up a discussion we had in the EP / DV thread...this is why I said I didn't like the DV rework. Now his ONE thing he did well is actually a LIABILITY!!!! I still hold by saying the DV rework was lame and this one tweak to DN unique proved it. Other than his turn meter feed trick under EP he has very low utility. I want my death machine that can thrive in multiple setups. His top-end usefulness in arena lasted all of a few weeks, and that's cause his kit is still weak.


    Yeah you win this round. Not to mention he doesn't do anything in the new raid.

    i wish they would bench vader tbh. 10 toons at 100% TM is anoying ;)


    lol :) Yes. Kinda funny.


    I don't know. I'm holding better with DV than I ever have in the past 6 months, and I never lose on off unless rng just goes south badly.


    @JohnnySteelAlpha


    Nice - what are you running? I'm actually seeing people go away from EP or pull DV for some comps to avoid the situation.
