Grand Arena: Do you compete or just place defenders and wait?

DuneSeaFarmer

If I'm honest, I place defense and wait it out. Once in a great while I compete, but I usually get slaughtered so I give up again for a while.

What are others doing?

DaarthBrewer

I place defense and offensively try to clear the board.

leef

i don't compete, i annihilate ! BOOYAAAA

I tried to be clever once and wait until after my opponent had attacked so I knew how many banners to get. In my head we were playing a game of chicken waiting to see who would blink..... I blinked and my opponent never attacked!

We spoke afterwards and it turns out he didn't care about GA and just set his defense for me to have fun

Since then I start attacking about 5 mins after the phase starts then spend the next 47 and a half hours waiting until I can attack again!

Fight.

Mr_Sausage

Compete.

Marev

Definitely compete.

I‘m one of these guys who has a broad roster because of Territory Wars and -Battles, but neither Traya nor Revan. It‘s been fun developing strategies against those guys (my opponents naturally always have them) and gradually getting better (20minutes away from claiming first place with a 95% chance of that happening )

No fight, no chance to win. And this was against opponents with 150-300k more squad GP than my 900k.

Boba_The_Fetter

Of course I compete. I've only lost twice so far and getting the top rewards almost everytime is great.

DaPowerfulJedi

Attacking is my favorite part of GA.

DuneSeaFarmer

My main complaint is winning is not enough to win. Which to me is just annoying. I have a low threshold. lol

Jarvind

Compete.

What I don't understand is the guys that put ALL their best teams on defense and then can't get past my absolute garbage Phoenix team (like 71k power) because they have nothing to attack with. Like, do they ever win with that approach?

The only way I can see it working is if both guys in a matchup do the same thing and then just flail at each other's defenses with their leftover scraps like

jayjonbeach

Always compete but in a way, I don't blame those who don't when they built breadth and go up against someone who poured everything into 2 teams and have 2 brick walls in front, especially when one of them is Revan.

Feefyefoefum

Definitely compete. I want to use the roster I have built and test my toons and teams

I put down a strongish defence but always leave myself enough teams that I think I can clear my opponent with (barring a Revan Team on defence atm)

I do neither. I join Grand Arena, set no defenses, and then use the opportunity to recruit for my guild. People are talkative when they just guaranteed won the GA match against a peer.

I compete in 5v5. Can't stand 3v3 so frequently don't in that and just place defense and ignore.

komji15

My alt is the only one who has Revan and Traya.😂😂 2.4m
They didn’t attack mine at all.

Does that strategy actually work for you? Or are you just saying that to recruit here?

I think that is his signature line, but yeah...prolly

I compete all the way. Aside from being naturally competitive, I get better rewards the more I win. And I also like the challenge of figuring out which teams to use to beat which opposing squad.

Just placed defense cause the matchmaking has been broken! Matching ppl up with galactic power but adding ships in also so most of the time the battles really aren’t even and are usually lopsided

They already changed it so ships will not be included in GP in Grand Arena's that have no fleet teams.
