And the AI is also abuseable so it's fine. My Ninja Kai is always in the frontline and I purposely put him there so he will become a bullet attractor. My Kai is using +15 Dodge Rune and a has Faye Paladin beside him. What happens with this combo? Well, just some absorb and dodge fest against trigger teams. The best part about trigger teams is it's a bunch of ranger squishies which is really easy to kill. I can also massively damage them with my Samurai Shizu's aoe skill because of how trigger teams are forced to be near each other.
Trigger teams has those weaknesses, you just need to see it instead of getting blinded by rage.
No tank is not an excuse. MLB'd Crusader Leon which can be obtained by everyone, can easily reach 7k def (w/o adding aura yet) with proper gears. 7k def adds 1.4k defense to any units on his aura, that's a solid -1400 damage to any incoming hits. Triggered attacks are mostly weak already since they are usually around 80% of ATK only with the exception of GS Cybella with 100% ATK trigger. So a 1400 damage mitigation will do so much against them.
Am I credible? I already reached 5k ratings, it's up to you if you find what I say credible or not.
well, I dont have such a skill rune but I have Faye pally to soak damage for my MB shizu with berserker freya on the right, GS cybella at the back of shizu and spirit walker teresa as stat booster(active skill disables a random enemy) at the back of freya and they make a great team. I hate when shizu and cybella performs long chain tho.
I know rangers squad have weaknesses but two units dying in first turn feels like being cheated.
Well good for you reaching 5k ratings, I only reached 4.6k as the highest since I've been avoiding rangers squad and can only use 12-15 arena orbs a day
I'm actually impressed how you still misunderstood what I meant by my last sentence even though I tried so much to emphasize only on credibility. I'm not asking for praise nor for your ratings. FYI, I never buy arena orbs.
You feel cheated yet do you know it's a 5v5? You are able to choose 5 units for your team and the enemy can choose 5 units for their team. Where is the cheat there? You simply just needed some preventive measures against trigger teams because it's the bane of your setup which mostly relies on DPS. Even if your team was mostly DPS, there is STILL a fix for your problem and yet you chose to rage here on the forums instead.
You said you don't have dodge rune then go spam that rune ticket from Bazaar or keep buying skill runes from Marketplace.
Also do not forget, trigger team is a all or nothing team, if they failed to proc which is not that uncommon with 20% failure rate then they are as good as gone so being not consistently reliable, they have to have abit of s
edge
Trigger teams are actually more powerful when handled by an AI to an extent. The AI knows which unit can crit on that specific turn and will make that unit attack with high priority which usually result to chain triggers for crit command trigger teams. I do agree though that trigger team is all or nothing for players using it on arena but the thing is, those very rich or CBT players already has enough resources to get around 70%+ crit rate on their archers which makes them consistent.
