Basics(If you haven't played Arena before)
Arena 101
One of the first things you will notice is there are no tower objectives. This is a 5v5 map with creeps. Your goal during this match is to reduce the enemy ticket count to 0 before your ticket count reaches 0.
You can lower their ticket count in 3 different ways:
- Gods killing creeps -1 per enemy creep
- Creeps reaching enemy portal -1 per creep
- Killing enemy Gods -5 per kill
Now you may be thinking,
"Wow killing Gods subtracts so many tickets! I am going to just kill all the gods and win!"However killing
Enemy Gods is not as effective as you may think!
In a minion wave there are
7 Creeps. That means if your teams gods
clear a wave that is 7 tickets. Also, if your minions then make it to their portal because the other team isn't clearing waves that is another
7 tickets away from the enemy.
Now, I am not saying ignore gods and just kill creeps. What I am saying is it is ok to let an Enemy God
escape, if you can clear a wave after. If someone on your team is clearing a wave though, you can chase for the kill as long as you can get away after. No use in securing a kill if you get killed too.
So remember, waves equal a guaranteed 7 with a possible 14, and gods equal 5.
Early Game
Right at the start buy sprint,
Combat Boots, and
Mana Potions. After, you can either go to center and maybe face-off against the other team or you can get blue buff so you have no mana troubles.
Remember, Ullr is very mana hungry. If you end up in a team fight, use
Thrown Axe to stun an enemy, the use
Wield Bow and follow with
Expose Weakness +
Bladed Arrow. Usually after the stun your team will focus on the stunned enemy making for an easy kill. If the enemy is able to start fleeing us
Hail of Arrows to finish them off.
Do NOT chase!!! You will end up being surrounded by the enemy making for an extremely difficult escape.
Now, if it ends up as you being focused on by the enemy, use
Wield Axes and then use
Glory Bound to immediately get out of reach. Use
Invigorate to help with your escape after you used
Glory Bound.
If the enemy has an assassin like
Loki or
Mercury, hit them with
Thrown Axe and escape with
Glory Bound. So the assassin does not get the kill and become fed!
Don't Forget to Clear Those Waves!
Mid/Late Game
By now you should have
Warrior Tabi,
Deathbringer,
Qin's Sais, and maybe
Rage. You will also notice how this affects his speed and damage making him more lethal. You can deal a lot of damage to enemy gods very quickly now. Especially to ones like
Anhur,
Ra,
Artemis,
Ao Kuang, etc. So if they overstep don't be afraid to
PUNISH them for their mistake.
When you get
Titan's Bane or
Jotunn's Wrath your physical penetration will be lethal to a lot of the tanky Gods. You will be able to burst down gods like
Ares,
Hades,
Odin,
Vamana, and
Thor just to name off a few.
Still, watch out for those assassins as they are always lethal and can kill you.
You are still squishy!!Just a lethal squishy now!
