Arena — skill, strategy, or pure luck?
Hello Flockers!
Having had AB-E now for a few days, I've yet to find any rhyme or reason to "hit points" in the Oinktagon Arena.
It seems that the damage you do to them and they to you has no correlation to anything.
Not to the number of hits you score. I've scored 8 hits, and caused less damage (on the health meter) than an opponent who gets only two hits.
Not to the distance of the birds from you. I've taken more damage with all five birds "in the opponent's face", and have also caused minimal damage that way, and vice versa.
Not to the birds used and/or their levels. It seems to make no difference.
Are these matchups completely random, or is there a skill element to them that I am thus far not seeing? What causes greater health meter damage to your opponents, and what can be done to limit the damage you take?
Note that I *have* detected skill tactics that are valid in path-based matchups and scouted quests.... but those things don't seem to work in the arena.
