How to Build an Arena Defense Team
| Arena Defense Team Building Guide |
|---|
Think of What Units the Team Will Defend Against
When building a defense team for the Arena, it must be a team that can counter the most popular meta units among Arena players. If the player is already using a team full of units that are meta in PvP, they may want to avoid using the exact same lineup for their defense team.
For example, top-tier but situational mobile suits are not recommended in a defense team because they are niche. They will not contribute much to the battle unless they are facing units they specifically counter, like Gundam-type units for Char's Z'Gok and Newtype Machine units like for the Todesritter.
Position Units the Correct Way
When thinking about your defense formation, players should determine which units are their key units and position them behind beefy frontline units like the Great Zeong and other Armored mobile suits. This way, they are protected from any mobile suits that could directly counter them.
A team with Armored units could become even stronger with mobile suits like the Re-GZID, which can force enemies to target the player's Armored units first - leaving their actual damage dealers safe to attack the enemy.
The optimal position, therefore, is to have Armored units in the front, Generic and Raid units in the middle, and Snipers, Bombardment, and Support units in the back. This two-column formation should be on either side of the deployment field, so as to prevent the enemy from deploying direct counters to the player's units right in front of them.
Have the Right Units in the Team
The ideal team composition depends on which key units the player is building a team around. Generally, fielding more fragile DPS units requires deploying more Armored mobile suits to protect them. Conversely, building around self-sufficient skirmishers offers greater flexibility for filling remaining slots.
Support units serve various roles: backline attackers provide covering fire, Armored units hold the line, support units buff capabilities, and Close Combat units can debuff opponents.
The key is protecting core units with durable teammates that absorb damage, covering weaknesses with complementary strengths, and making sure those core units can deal damage unimpeded.
Arena Defense Team Building Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistakes To Avoid |
|---|
Leaving Strong Units Defenseless
As mentioned above, positioning is very important, especially for key units that are expected to carry the player's defense team. Leaving them without an Armored unit in front of them allows the enemy to easily place a strong counter that can make quick work of that unit.
Neglecting to Change Units in the Defense Team
It's very common for players to forget to update their defensive lineup/formation whenever they acquire new units that they want to use for PvP, or a new unit that can counter their current lineup has come out recently.
Players should always watch out for whenever they have new units or there are new units prevailing in the meta. Once any of these changes happen, they must update their defense teams to keep countering new threats.
Players should also make sure that any Sub-Mobile Suits assigned to their defense team's units are also updated to ensure they are still getting strong buffs that give them an edge in battle.
Neglecting Investment in the Defense Team
Leveling units is a general rule in Gundam U.C. Engage, not just for Arena. Units left underleveled will not perform at their strongest, and overall team CP will fall short of its maximum potential. Even small CP gains from leveling up with increased player rank can make the difference in close matches between a player's defense team and the enemy.
Unless the player is maintaining a deep rotation of dozens of UR units, upgrade materials for leveling should be available for mobile suits in their defense team.
The same applies to Potential Level, Custom Level, and Transcendent Level, though caution is needed with Transcendent Level as it requires Rainbow Haro coins, the game's most scarce and valuable resource.
