Atlantica Online Arena Betting Guide

Atlantica Online Arena Betting Guide by XSniperFoxX

Hello all Arena fans. Welcome to SniperFox’s Arena Guide.

You might have seen my name come out a couple of times a week on Macedon and I have been asked to make a betting guide. This is my guide, so no flames or hate. This is how I win, and I’m explaining it for others.

Basic Betting

High winners: Guan Chang, Alexandra, and Hasard

These are the most commonly bet on Arena winners. Why? Because of their teams, AI, or power.

Guan Chang

First is Guan Chang, one of my most and least favorite fights. He is the best sniper in the arena because of his passive skill. He and his range will deal incredible amounts of damage in the arena. He doesn’t lose often, but he will still lose.

-Guan Chang formations:

Sword-Sword-Sword
Artillery-Artillery-Artillery
Empty-Guan Chang-Empty

I have to say, this is one of his best formations, if not the best. I have only seen it lose twice. The only problem is that this formation is so good, the dividends are usually low, so little return.
——————————
vik-sword-spear
empty-shammy-empty
napo-Guan-gunner

this formations decent pretty good power and a decent front to hold that shammy is known to brutal will the back row and, if that happens, its most likely game over. Trust me I have seen it happen many times. It was pure ownage with that brutal will but if shaman doesn’t brutal will back, and, instead, casts it on the front, then it’s easy to freeze Guan’s front making it just kill his front faster to hit guans range

note:shammy only has brutal will and noble
————————————————
viking-viking-empty
archer-archer-empty
Guan-archer-viking

pretty much a good snipe build but double freeze can spell gg to guan or a heavy melee team stands good against this formation as well other wise if the other arena char doesn’t have a monk is snipe for guan
——————————-
spear-empty-viking
napo-sword-napo
shammy-empty-Guan

like the formation before double viking can beat guan pretty easy unless those napos stun those viks first other wise shammy +bw on napo row=gg i sometimes bet this build but not to much its not to strong the swordsman is the strong merc there but they place it in mid protecting no one =/

note:shaman only used brutal will or noble
———————————————–
gunner-gunner-gunner
empty-shammy-empty
shammy-Guan-shammy

worse build of guans i will only say this once to u people STOP MAX BETTING THIS BUILD!!!!!! he only wins if he snipes and if his opponent has a monk he most likly will lose why one freeze in front and its gg and that front goes down in 2-4 turns i place 10mil on that build from time to time but when its not below 10.0 anything below that not the risk to hope for a snipe

note: the gunners don’t use wild shot or deadly (least that i remember) also the shammys only use bw and the middle shammy has noble the other two shaman just have bw
—————————————-

Alexandra

next is alex i would love her if she had a monk tho =/

-Alexandra formations:

spear-spear-spear
spear-empty-spear
spear-empty-Alex

alexs best formation i max bet this from time to time but i swear i lose some of my life watching alex almost die due to the fact shes a easy snipe but thats basically how she loses most of the time is snipe any formation with decent stun and snipe mercs can win her but without them she won arena easy
—————————————
Vik-Vik-Vik
empty-Shammy_empty
napo-Alex-spear

very good build to freeze and back is also pretty good with bw if both are working for alex its gg other wise normaly 2 viks can keep freezing alexs front if the other viks get the first freeze decent build i hardly max bet it tho
—————————————
spear-vik-sword
napo-empty-napo
shammy-empty-alex

decent build of alex front is strong due to alex healing the napos give some nice stun support and the shammy heals and bws good to bw the napos pretty decent build but again snipe is possible no monk
———————————–
vik-spear-sword
archer-archer-archer
empty-alex-empty

decent front bad mid i never ever bet this formation and if i think this formation can win i dont bet due to the fact the other formations must be bad to and its just to hard to tell whos going to win
——————————————-
Sword – Sword – Sword
Empty – Archer – Arty
Shaman – Alex – Empty

really strong front normally wins arena when theres mostly melee mercs on the other team or alex doesn’t get sniped but i say this is alexs worst formation i hardly bet it and when i do its like 10mil tops

——————————————-
Hasard

Hasard is next ah how i love ur one hit away from winning cept u do shooting stance and die due to the fact u didnt just shoot lolz happened before lolz

-Hasard formations:

spear-vik-vik
napo-empty-empty
napo-Hasard-monk

one of hasard best formations and is known to double freeze with his viks and his monk hg’s and awakens from time to time to protect him from getting his mercs stuns or himself but sometimes other times monks dumb =/ on of the formations that has beated guans best formation but guan also won this formation before i max bet this formation from time to time

note: in this formation the napos do not use deep insight or deadly shot so the napos are pure stun power
——————————-
spear-spear-spear
vik-vik-empty
napo-hasard-empty

another double freeze formation of hasard but this formations front isn’t to sturdy o-o those spears don’t last to long so hasard has to get some double freezes or stuns in in order to win i max bet this from time to time

note: the napo in this formation does not use deep insight or deadly shot
——————————–
spear-Viking-spear
archer-empty-archer
shammy-empty-Hasard

one of my favorite builds of hasard know i know it doesn’t seem like much but hasard using shooting stance does wonders i normaly place 10mil on this build from time to time and that 10mil normaly turns to over 200mil but only sometimes also has decent stuns and ap drain but most of the time it doesnt work together but when it does hehe
————————————
sword-sword-sword
empty-shammy-empty
gunner-hasard-gunner

strong front most likely will be frozen most of the matches so those gunners gotta stun or be on brutal will to win a decent build for hasard for sniping but i normally never max bet it due to he can also get sniped as well or stunned or stunned

note: the swords on hasards front can use flame sword and dark seed (forgot if they can use deadly)
————————————–
spear-Viking-empty
empty-sword-sword
hasard-shammy-shammy

this formations abit weird and risky to bet see the swords dont use flame sword at all they will use dark seed or just normal attack and the shammys wont use bw they will use hex or blessing of life and i believe one of the shammys got noble but forgot which one normaly the swords and the shammys dont work together but when they do on lets say alex and use hell fire on her she becomes super easy for hasard to just use shoot stance and just shoot her away
—————————————

Lucky Dice Mercs:Chuck Yeon,Sajio,Cleopatra,Michelangelo

Chuck Yeon

normally one of my favorites in arena the dividends for her formation are normally good i placed a few 10mil-50mil bets before on her and she normally brings me home with tons of cash

formations:

sword-sword-sword
viking-Gunner-empty
empty-Chuck-Artillery

favorite formation of chucks decent stuns in this build with a strong front and a viking who most likely will freeze and not die to early on in the game she’s able to beat those higher winners with this formation so i normally bet a little or a lot on chuck when she has this great income if she wins too

note: the artillery does not have deep insights or deadly shot i am not 100% sure about the gunner not having wild shot or deadly shot but i am pretty sure she doesn’t not have them

—————————————
spear-sword-viking
Artillery-archer-empty
shaman-Chuck-empty

the odd ball formation of chucks i dont bet more then 5-10mil on this but if it wins the income is great nothing to special in this build normally the shaman needs to bw mid or even chuck in order for it to win arena and that doesn’t work on other builds its up against sadly
—————————————
spear-viking-spear
Artillery-empty-Artillery
empty-Chuck-shaman

pretty good formation of chucks bw artillerys could be deadly but one bad thing chucks a little to open that viking can die in a few turns then the opponent may aim chuck but i normaly bet 5-25mil on this formation if i think its good in this arena
—————————————
spear-spear-spear
empty-gunner-spear
empty-chuck-shaman

kinda weak this formation to many spears but the shaman is mvp on this formation it can noble bw and heal normaly the mid bw is best choice since its freezing axe free for a few rounds, this formation has won arena before but hardly wins i normally dont bet this build unless it seems fitting
—————————————
sword-viking-sword
empty-archer-archer
empty-Chuck-monk

nothing to special a strong front but that mid is weak and hardly puts any support on chuck =/ i say its her worst build i bet it 5mil-10mil tops if the other builds also stink

—————————————

Saijo

Saijos one of favs as well his dividends are normally good money making even in max bet but it all depends on his ai playing

Saijio formations:

viking-sword-sword
monk-empty-empty
Artillery-Saijo-shaman

his best formation i say normally wins guan a few times with this bw and smoke bomb does good against most of the others and the smoke bomb is prefect against guan he might have high damage but if he cant hit him Saijo will win

—————————————
sword-sword-sword
Artillery-archer-empty
shaman-Saijo-empty

strong front decent amout of stun power with bw but other wise its not to great it wins from time to time but hardly ever nothing to special works sometimes on guan if saijo doesnt get sniped

—————————————
spear-sword-viking
empty-archer-gunner
empty-Saijo-monk

pretty decent build if the monks smart won me a couple good 200mils with only 10mil but thats if saijos ai gets smart and his smoke makes his mercs dodge a lot basically its a gamble on this build dont bet a lot on it

—————————————
spear-spear-spear
viking-shaman-spear
empty-saijo-empty

way to many spears it normally works for about the start of the battle then at the end he ends up losing he hardly wins with this build no more then 5-20mil should be bet on him but its your money

—————————————
Artillery-viking-Artillery
gunner-empty-empty
shaman-Saijo-monk

this one always makes me laugh he’s got a lot of stuns and thats basically how he wins with this but any smart monk can easily counter it and those artillery cant tank for long but i seen bw on the front destroy the enemy pretty fast that might also work if freeze doesn’t happen to fast on his front

—————————————

Cleopatra

could be on of the best arena mercs but the ai for her is dum making her a ace or as i call it lucky dice

Cleopatra formations:

sword-sword-viking
Artillery-Artillery-Artillery
empty-Cleopatra-empty

one of her ace formations if she seths those Artillery and keeps healing the front she normally wins only down side no monk she may get sniped but can heal back if she gets smart but most of that time that’s not the case
—————————————

spear-viking-spear
archer-archer-archer
empty-Cleopatra-empty

one of her worst builds even if she seths her mid it wont be that big of a affect i never bet this build it just lose’s all the time sadly

—————————————

sword-sword-sword
gunner-empty-gunner
empty-Cleopatra-Shaman

now this build is alright accept for one thing cleopatra and that shaman rarely work together i seen cleo seth her front then the shaman bw the front right after when her front was frozen i hardly ever bet this build they hardly work together but the gunners on seth or bw can do some damage other wise its over easy

—————————————

spear-spear-spear
Artillery-viking-empty
monk-Cleopatra-empty

decent build but those spears go down pretty fast i don’t got much to say about this build it rarely wins and its all due to luck really like seth on front and the opponents viking didn’t freeze her front stuff like that

—————————————
spear-spear-spear
empty-viking-empty
spear-Cleopatra-spear

now this is my favorite of them all a viking in mid so he is able to freeze those spears to ap drain a lot and seths in her back row or front is deadly but in some cases she gets sniped or seths her viking making her lose easy or other times doesn’t heal the right row but its pretty much a ace i seen it beat alex’s all spears and no sniping was involved

—————————————

Michelangelo

by far the luckiest arena ai ever he has won the top builds all due to his lucky stuns i seen him fully stun many builds and won

Michelangelo formations:

sword-viking-sword
empty-empty-gunner
shaman-Michelangelo-monk

i say this is his winner build he doesn’t really need to get lucky here his front stands strong decent stun with him the gunner and his summon normally the monk and shaman on his side are mvp they normally work well together good build
—————————————
spear-viking-spear
empty-gunner-Artillery
empty-Michelangelo-monk

i call this one Michelangelo’s super ultra stunner build 3 stunners plus another once mich summons making it great to stun his opponent sadly he doesn’t always stun them due to the ai’s randomness but if mich for some reason won against alexs all spears or guan’s 3 swords 3 Artillery’s it most likely is this formation but again luck dice formation pray for a 7 heh
—————————————
sword-spear-sword
empty-Artillery-archer
empty-Michelangelo-shaman

not to great of a build no freezing some stun only way he wins is if he stuns and that spear does some ap drains on the right row and maybe bw on mich or mid does something other wise this build goes down easy
—————————————
spear-spear-spear
archer-viking-empty
shaman-Michelangelo-empty

this build makes me lol a lot i seen him win 3 of the top builds in the same arena and win for people who think not enough range to snipe alex well they lose money for people who thought not enough power to beat guan think again for those who thought hasard would double freeze mich easy think again……this build is so random when it wins but when it does you can see your income going up easy but please bet small and others he may of done it once but who knows if he will again
—————————————
Spear – Spear – Vik
Arty – Archer – Empty
Empty – Michelangelo – Monk

its a ok build doesn’t really win much without any stuns + ap drain basically luck makes this build win not much to say about it lolz

—————————————


Underdogs/oddballs in arena: Frank,Beatrice,Sarasate,Raphael

Frank

He’s a bit rather well ummm well he’s dumb a lot one of the worst ai’s i seen him die from his own awakening or done awakening on mercs who haven’t even gotten combo 1 on them his broken bows does quite a bit of damage on archers guan and alex also stops them from using magic for a turn

Frank formations:

Viking-Frank-Viking
empty-Artillery-empty
monk-shaman-monk

franks best build he wont die with both of those monks standing unless they hg frank and the enemy is on bw also please note those vikings hardly ever freeze in this formation they do deadly strike when they can about it the shaman is good she normally heals the front keeping the vikings alive a bit longer but the monks both sometimes seem to forget to awaken i don’t max this build but its franks winner formation

—————————————
spear-viking-sword
empty-gunner-empty
monk-Frank-shaman

his odd ball formation which i bet 10-25mil normally and bring in a lot of cash basically in this formation monk and frank make sure no one gets stunned while shaman heals and does bw if that all goes well that normally means win for frank other he the ai plays dumb frank loses pretty easily in fact lolz about it for this build

—————————————
viking-viking-viking
empty-Frank-empty
archer-archer-archer

this formation is weird and it’s not really great sure the vikings freeze but they go down pretty fast and if the mid goes down frank is own and he’s not the best tanker without any monks so he goes down rather fast too not much to say i almost never bet this build unless he’s up against guan or alex then hope the archers will help snipe them out while frank does broken bows overall this build sucks

—————————————
spear-viking-spear
empty-archer-empty
Artillery-Frank-Artillery

decent build but no healer besides frank this build normally works good if he uses broken arrows and stuns or snipes with the artillery ap drain helps from the two spears so does freeze but that archer hardly helps at all should of been another artillery would of been better this build can get doubled freezed fast i say those spears don’t last to long so those stuns from the artillery need to hit other wise any other build that doesn’t snipe frank franks got a good shot

—————————————
spear-sword-spear
empty-sword-empty
gunner-Frank-gunner

haven’t seen it won arena yet but its beaten some other builds due to stun with the gunners and ap drain but thats basically it frank plays healer in this build if i am not mistaken awakens a lot and keeps that front alive a bit longer not much more to say on this build i never bet it really
—————————————

Beatrice

somewhat of a merc that hardly does anything but its normally her buff and sometimes her sig’s that wins her that matchs

Beatrice formations:

Artillery-Artillery-Artillery
Artillery- Artillery-Artillery
empty-Beatrice-empty

Beatrice’s winning build normally due to stun and some sig’s but the sig only effects damage which helps at times the buff keeps those Artillery alive for awhile but bw on a enemy can break them down pretty fast even with her buff on them good build overall but bw or even snipe ends it pretty fast

note:front artillery have deep insights and deadly shot the middle row ones just have deadly shot

—————————————
sword-viking-sword
Artillery-Artillery-empty
shaman-Beatrice-empty

a decent build for Beatrice strong front, healer and bw from shaman and sometimes noble and decent stuns as well normally if you bet this build you pray the shaman bw’s the mid then snipe main if it doesn’t have a monk or just kill the monk or other mercs if its got a monk pretty much a chance build here but that front makes it so it wont be gg to fast unless Beatrice gets sniped

—————————————
gunner-gunner-gunner
gunner-gunner-gunner
empty-Beatrice-empty

doesn’t really win arena but it can knock some of the top winners out by sniping them or hitting the same line as there main is at example any builds of alexs they just hit where alex is at or any build of guans they just hit guans line it can win those but doesnt really win arena when up against a monk in the opponent formation or just doesn’t hit only main
—————————————
archer-archer-archer
archer-archer-archer
empty-Beatrice-empty

worst formation of Beatrice’s it all depends if they snipe main or not and its impossible if opponents got monk, archers go down fast normally i would say don’t bet this build and if you do make sure its not a lot never max it or even go above 5mil lolz
—————————————
spear-sword-viking
Artillery-archer-empty
empty-Beatrice-shaman

a ok build i normally bet this 10mil tops depends on other formations normally you hope for bw in the mid as in the other build and some healing in the front to keep them alive its ok but doesn’t win to much really all luck on this build
—————————————

Sarasate

normally the underdog in any arena has a lot more loss’s then wins but when she does win expect a nice pay out if you bet on her

Sarasate formations:

Viking-spear-viking
gunner-gunner-empty
monk-Sarasate-empty

her best formation i say but is normally still a underdog even with this formation those vikings may double freeze but they are in the front and those gunners wild shot a lot when it would be better if they just got some stuns in instead, overall if you bet this build you gotta hope sara plays well and get some double freezes maybe stuns too also sara hardly does anything she heals maybe but most of the time its the wrong row
—————————————
spear-sword-spear
viking-sword-viking
empty-Sarasate-empty

another underdog build but this time the vikings are in the mid line making it possible to double freeze without those viking getting freezed themselves early on, those spear normally die on fast so double freeze is possible on sara as well and she doesn’t really do much just play with her magic maybe heal a bit but thats it cross your fingers if you bet her
—————————————
spear-sword-spear
empty-archer-empty
shaman-Sarasate-monk

never seen it win arena sadly,spears go down in a few turns that archer hardly does anything shaman heals a lot which is good but it’s sometimes on the wrong row monk plays well as well but this build is missing some stun i only see the spears and sarasate really that can do some decent stunning on the mid row but even then sara plays with her magic instead =/
—————————————
viking-sword-spear
empty-shaman-empty
Artillery-Sarasate-gunner

some ok stun pressure with the back row when they don’t play with there magic decent front and good shaman that heals only thing it lacks is bw from the shaman i never seen it bw in this formation if it does have it i’ve never seen it and bw on the back should do some good damage, has come close to winning arena but overall never seen it win arena
—————————————
sword-spear-sword
Artillery-gunner-Artillery
empty-empty-Sarasate

decent front the spears kinda out of place 0-0 normally she wins due to her stuns since shes got a decent amount of stun power and her fronts ok cept for that spear hmm normally doesn’t win arena won once so all a matter on luck if she gets some decent stuns in and on the other builds formations

—————————————

Raphael

normally the underdog in any arena and one of the worst ai’s he normally wins due to his mercs not him lmao

Raphael formations:

viking-spear-spear
empty-Artillery-viking
Artillery-Raphael-empty

raphs best build but still makes him a underdog, normally double freeze+ap drain+stuns is the key way he wins with this formation while raph just stands there looking kool and thats about it his damage hardly makes a difference to help his mercs lolz oh yea forgot raphael uses no magic in this formation accept speed cast…..yea useless so careful betting this formation when you see alk the flying witch lolz he might lose due to no anti air
—————————————
sword-sword-sword
empty-shaman-viking
empty-Raphael-shaman

i seen this build won maybe once or twice in arena but thats about it, formation is good strong front viking in the mid line to freeze but problem is those shamans…..they almost always get a turn due to raphs speed cast and most of the time instead of helping they make things worse like bw on mid line and back row viking on bw isn’t helping with some freeze stuns and raph does horrible damage that it wont matter even in bw and then those shamans can’t even keep the front alive with there heals if on bw so basically you gotta pray if u bet raph with this build and hope those shaman work together instead of bw anything they see
—————————————
sword-sword-sword
gunner-empty-archer
shaman-Raphael-empty

never seen it won arena first hand but i heard it did once, strong front kinda weak mid and you know the back =/, so i am guessing how he won last time is he got bw on the mid line while the shaman kept healing the front to keep them alive while the mid line did the damage……..and maybe lucky scrolls lmao basically if u see this build win arena i lost money lmao i never bet this most likely never will
—————————————

spear-sword-viking
empty-archer-empty
shaman-Raphael-monk

never seen this win arena just maybe first and second round at best decent front,mid line sucks and backs ok (cept raphael) not much to say just hope raph keeps that front up, the mid and back line don’t do to much damage so he ends up losing if he lose’s his front line (i dont ever bet this lolz)
—————————————
spear-spear-spear
empty-viking-spear
empty-Raphael-shaman

again never seen it wont arena just at best first round win or to finals that’s it, fronts kinda iffy mid line is pretty good with that viking and back eh the same as the other builds lmao basically hope for raphs vik to freeze first then bw on raphs front spears and not his mid or back row hmmmm about it (i dont bet build ever)
—————————————

super low winners:Jeanne,Alkinarpay

Jeanne

wins maybe once or twice a month sometimes more if lucky but thats about it pay out is great when she wins

Jeanne formations:

sword-sword-sword
sword-empty-sword
Jeanne-empty-Monk

i say her best formation the swords take awhile to go down uber spike and flame sword normally wins due to focus flame sword with light slash i seen it take down a viking in one town this way monk hg’s some freezes and awakens from stun decent build, down side if there’s other swords flame sword doesnt do much on other swords and no stun pressure really or bw basically it needs focus fire on the opponent not on the swordsman tho
—————————————
spear-sword-spear
Artillery-Jeanne-Artillery
empty-shaman-empty

normally doesn’t win much unless gets bw in the mid row or the other builds aren’t so great hmmm not much to say really about this i hardly bet it and when i do its only 10mil tops
—————————————
sword-sword-sword
spear-viking-spear
empty-Jeanne-empty

strong front a good viking in mid line and decent ap draining only problem is no heals are bw and not to much stuns stun easly wins this build but other wise jean has the upper hand overall doesn’t really win arena just some builds but it has won arena before
—————————————
sword-viking-spear
gunner-archer-gunner
empty-Jeanne-empty

pretty bad build no heals no bw fronts ok mid is kinda bad even when jeanne gets stuns in from those gunner she still loses sadly =/ isn’t a great build i never bet this one
—————————————
spear-viking-empty
gunner-archer-Artillery not sure about that build if its correct but it goes something like that
shaman-Jeanne-empty

its ok but that artillery is open and that shaman hardly bw’s the mid line and even when they do a opponent ai can freeze any of the bw rows cept back which would be dum if the back got bw….. also double freeze may happen but i seen some funny stuff happen before like some snipes from this formation overall i rarely bet this build and if i do it’s mostly for kicks
—————————————

Alkinarpay

has about the best losing streak and loss counts i say and the lowest wins too but when she wins even betting 1mil most likely will net you a good amount of money

Alkinarpay formations:

sword-viking-sword
Artillery-Artillery-empty
monk-Alkinarpay-empty

her best formation but still doesn’t win a lot but i seen it once beat alex’s all spears oh man funny stuff anyways she normally wins due to stun and lucky scrolls or just flys and make sure melees don’t hit her but only works on melees like jean or raph frank to i guess but he’s normally with a few range mercs to hit alk
—————————————
spear-spear-spear
empty-spear-viking
empty-Alkinarpay-shaman

never seen it win arena just gotten to finals at best normally do to her flying skill lmao doesn’t really win much normally needs bw front with opponent not freezing alks front her meteor does decent damage but basically for the rest of the match she just flys there o-o
—————————————
sword-viking-sword
archer-Artillery-empty
shaman-Alkinarpay-empty

strong front but eh its just alk is so useless for most of the battle =/ normally doesn’t win maybe wins due to luck sometimes or her flying skill but thats it =/ not much to ever say on alk
—————————————
Spear – Sword – Axe
Artillery – archer – Empty
Empty – Alkinarpay – Shaman

not so great build but at times it does win other builds that aren’t so great if middle row gets burtal will on sometimes i rarely ever bet this build
—————————————
spear-spear-spear
empty-Artillery-Artillery
empty-Alkinarpay-shaman

nothing to special the spears and artillery do deadly shot quick when ever they can even brutal will on mid row still wont save alkinarpay from losing since those spears in the front die rather quickly but it may win with many of the other builds that aren’t so great
—————————————
