šŸ¦øā€ā™‚ļø Arco - 5* Nature / Green from Sanctuary of Gargoyles

Tiles is a double-edge sword. Yes, you can choose where to move the tiles and how much of the same color to bring, but guess what, you have no control in the color tiles generated. They are random. In addition, careless combos can form and cause the opponents to cast before you want them to.

When your tiles hit the opponent(s), they gain mana faster than you. (Unless itā€™s the correct color or throw empty tiles).

Moving too much tiles is the most common reasons we lose.

Therefore, I donā€™t consider tiles is an advantage for the offense. Itā€™s 50-50 at best. Otherwise, just bring mono right?

This is one of the reasons why people use 3-2 or 3-1-1 for top competitive wars.

Not really. Actually let me rephrase that: not at all.

Which often leads them to make terrible choices. Both because top players are wrong once in a while, and because they donā€™t have the same needs.

I happen to be around a fair amount of top tier players and they sometimes make unfathomably ridiculous statements about heroesā€™ worths and comparisons, which get disproven pretty much instantly by what us peasants call ā€œreality.ā€

This is one of these unfathomably ridiculous statements I mentioned above. If you need a very fast cleanse or a slow damage dealer, Arco wonā€™t do much for you. We can all read a card.

If you need an anti-fiend hero/minion-summoner/overhealer, Iā€™d be glad to hear how Milena helps. Sheā€™s an excellent hero though, I believe nobody is debating this.

Too bad you wasted a lot of typing by ignoring the part where I said, ā€œThe OP is not arguing that Milena is best for everyone, heā€™s just arguing that all things being equal, Milena is better than Arcosā€. 60% of what you wrote was unnecessary since I already admitted to that. If you didnā€™t notice yet, this conversation is over anyway.

I have the same combo. I put fully emblemed and LB 2nd costume Li Xiu next to Ludwig and it literally shuts down the bossā€™s specials. With Arcoā€™s beefy minions and stone skin, I donā€™t really care about counterattack even with Mr. Pengiā€™s crazy fish attackšŸ˜Š. I used El Naddaha to block enemiesā€™ buff instead of using either DD or AB to finish the off quickly as I am enjoying watching them dying slowly.

Luckily I already had Milena so Arco was my choice seeing as I didnā€™t have a boosted health hero in green. Crucial for covenant challenge & all other challenges. Esme has been crucial for me & Arco is another step up from Esme so it was a no brainer for me !! Canā€™t go wrong with either & I wud LOVE another Milena.

No cans of worms being opened up hereā€¦ But Iā€™m finding it difficult to find raids to place Arco. I float around 2600 cups because i donā€™t really want to be constantly fighting the best raid teamsā€¦ When all i want to do is full a chest.

Butā€¦ Not a ton of fiends roamingā€¦ Health is greatā€¦ But i really like my xnol/Ludwig pairing in 9 tilesā€¦ No regretsā€¦ But i wouldnā€™t mind fondling more pages to use him other than events and world map.

I raid with him all the time. Frankly because I prefer a 3-2 playstyle with a healer in each color. Pairing him with Fogg and el Naddaha help with the opponent who most often have a taunter and dodge specialist. Fogg dispelled the taunt and Nadda stop that and the dodge from happening. Arco is not ideal against very fast defenses and alucard. With fiend heroes heā€™s a must but cleaver works his pretty hard. If he doesnā€™t fit well with the enemy team but I want green, Iā€™ll bring ratatoskr.

i raid 3/1/1 purple/red/green, and the number of raids iā€™ve narrowly won with Arco the last man standing is remarkable. as long as theyā€™re a couple of heroes down so i can ghost green tiles when possible, arco and his stoneskin just keep hanging on until i can manage to grind down the last couple of enemies.

Liu Bei is a decent partner. Fire Arco 1st & Liuā€™s counter attack minions have cover or fire Arco after Liu & gain the extra boosted health. I chose Arco as I didnā€™t have a green boosted health hero & completing events boosted health heroes really help especially in the covenant event where u r limited to 1 element !!

Taking him from SE was great idea. Together with Ludwig they make map stages a joke.
He is also very good in raids.

Excellent hero! Heā€™s on my list of potential level 90 heroes. Mind showing a picture here when itā€™s completed?

Iā€™m debating between Arco and Max to give the aethers. However, Iā€™m also gonna consider giving it to my 3* and 4*. Or even just waiting to gather more when the next Mirage Quest comes or when we get tourney rewards. Iā€™m probably gonna lean towards the 3* and 4*, but that Arco looks nice with 1125 def

Iā€™m very much leaning towards the 3/4* route at the moment. Especially some of the newer ones or S1 C2 options.

But then I see these and I get all envious.

But then I think, Iā€™d rather update 2 or 3 than have one hugely OP one.

Arco needs a buff. Not good for defence.

Some people need to find a more constructive way to spend their energy and stop online trolling
