Since we are eliminating ways players take advantage of grand arena lets not ignore the fact that there are a large number of ppl who wait till last hour to attack elminating the guess factor on themselves and giving advantage over the player who attacked first because they had a job..
How about we play blind so both players cannot see what their oppnent has taken out?
Creates a fair clean slate for everyone no?

One bonus point because i didn't get it at first, lmao.
Exactly the same strategy.
It won't change anything for your fights as you attack first so why even bother? You just want to make your enemy blind to not show him if you **** somewhere and call it 'fair' because he can't work against your fails. Fair? No. And no war or battle works like this, if someone takes action the opponent will see it right after (unless you're mister sneakysneak007).

Honestly, people will complain about literally anything as long as it has something to do with Grand Arena.
For example, if both players have drevan on def in the 3v3 format, knowing the other can't get past your drevan allows you to maximize your score on the other teams without having to worry about the enemy drevan since you know for a fact that you don't have to beat him for the win, which your enemy didn't know.
I'm not one to complain, but in certain scenarios attacking last definately has it's advantages.
Not necessarily, there are strategies that involve hiding your good teams in the back row and forcing them to guess what they need to save for the back. If you beat their rock solid team before they attack then they have alot more info on what might be in back.
But you wouldn’t know if yours would hold or not. If I’m attacking without knowing what my opponent is doing, I would use multiple top teams to try and take out 1 character at a time and get that team down and get to the back territory. Let’s say I try that but it fails.
Now going 2nd I know I don’t have to mess with DR at all if I can be more efficient. Instead of using my top teams on DR I use them on the teams around him, and win more efficiently because of it.
Sure, I could also go with that strategy going first, but then I’m absolutely screwed if my DR doesn’t hold. Or flip side, if you go 2’s and see your DR doesn’t hold you know you have to go all out to get him down. If you are 2nd you don’t have to guess.
If you go first and wipe the board with ease you force your enemy, if he screws up only once he's done. If you go first and screw up yourself your enemy can take an advantage from it, he don't need to clear the board but just need to have more banners. In addition the one who waits can run out of time for whatever reason. That's it.
There's nothing unfair with waiting, it's simply a strategy and can either work for or against you. It's up to you and RNGesus how it will end.

This ... full clearing your opponent within the first 30 minutes of the round usually generates a mild sensation of being run over by a train, and leaves a certain pressure to perform to a certain level.
How would that not be an unfair advantage? Again i go first all the time and have only lost 2 championships so far so not my complaint. And it works the other way around too if i rely on going first and wiping the board to force my opponent to play under pressure but i cannt due to same thing. Again would be an unfair advantage because both player arent given same opportunity to play the same way.
That why i would say selceting 1 of 4 6 hour time frames would be better and create a more even playing field.
As far as above comment war arent fought under terms thats stupid. Wars dont ban you from cheating either but the game does. Realworld doesnt apply to games because game to have rules to make the game as fair for everyone as possible.
In my recent GAC round i went first and absolutely demolished my enemies defense, he was that demoralized that he not even tried to attack. Was i unfair? Or was he, because he went (actually not) second? That's just nonsense!

Darn, was going to make this joke until I discovered I already did.
In May.
Because of the 24 hour period its 100% fair. Some timezones might be less ideal but if its that important for someone, they can set an alarm to do their attack. Again not ideal but they definitely have a choice.
I was just about to complain about this same pettiness, until I read this post. A good point, this is.
