Holding rank without Kenobi

I'm sure a lot of zMaul teams have better results.

From what I can tell, teams can't stay in place anymore. You just kinda have to be ready to climb back up every day.

No GK and a team that holds? Rex,r2,chaze,zarris.Or DN instead of zarris.and speed mods

My team with Rex, GK, Chaze, DN will drop 24-26 spots on defense. I can get to #1 on offense, but I can't stay in the top twenty on defense.

There are a lot of teams that can get to #1 right now. They will knock you down on their way up. Then it's your turn. Etc.

This.

As long as you can keep winning on offense, you are fine.

The rest comes down to mods. Team composition is about who does the best under AI, not a specific toon.

Everyone has the same experience here, you can get #1 and be knocked down as easily, the mods will say how much you go down, the guys outside top100 can't beat great mods, top50 can't beat ultrasupermega mods, so you either go from 20s or 50s.

This exactly.

Arena is no longer a meta team plus speed equals top ten.

It's now how many battles, timing, colluding with other arenamates, and the ever present RNG

If you can get to rank 1 at payout with 1 refresh then defense doesn't matter anyways

The thing is though there is not alot of turn around in my top ten. Always the same people and I can easily beat their teams so why don't they drop? Is it really that they must play all day to stay up there?

Thanks for all the replies

My awesome arena shardmates in Thunderdome are great for helping each other so we dont knock each other back but also keeping "outsiders" trying to sneak in top 10 and knocking one of us out too, knowing each others payout is a huge help.
