Arena Tips

The Arena!!!

1. Get Buffs When Possible

• Don't rush into a fight like a chicken with its head cut off. There are 3 jungle buffs on each side. 
• Let  3 people on your team get a buff
• Mages usually get Mana 
• Assassins or Warriors usually get Damage 
• Hunters usually get Attack Speed
• Remember to keep an eye on buff timers so you can keep your stats up 

2. Kill the Minions 

• Last hitting minions deduct 1 point from the enemy team
• Escorting your minions  to the enemy portal  deduct 1 point from the enemy team
• Killing an enemy God deducts 5 points from the enemy team 

3.  Protect Your Siege Minions/ Attack The Enemy's 

• For every 10 God kills your team gets you spawn a Siege Engine 
• Has more health than a regular minion 
• Can't Attack
• Only move forward if it has at least 1 team member near it
• Move Slower 
• 15 points if you escort them to the enemy portal

4. Make Sure Your Build Makes Sense for Arena  

• You don't need to buy starter items because the flow of arena allows you to just jump into your build, Most people buy full boots first
• Wards aren't really useful
• You're almost always in a team fight so beads and other actives are very useful 
• Getting items with both physical and magical defense isn't a bad idea if you're struggling or if you just want to be able to sustain more.
• If the other team has a Ares BUY BEADS I die way to many times from his ultimate

5. Don't Play too Conservatively or Aggressively 

• Remember you are almost always in  a team fight, so be careful when using them aggressively
• Be careful when chasing alone if you do make sure you have teammates on the way or a way to get out fast  
• Remember that the area is relatively small so if you need to go back to the fountain a lot then you can just make sure that when you do you don't leave your team hanging 
• Timing Ults together can get a lot of kills especially combining an Ares or Xian Tien Ult with a AOE Ult like Hou Yi  or Poseidon

6. Work with Your Team

• Use the VGS to tell you team mates when to attack, defend, or  retreat (If don't know what those are I got you Click Here )
• Talk to your team in the lobby to coordinate Gods and have a good team composition.
• If you see someone going for a kill Do Not Kill Steal 
• If you and your team are in trouble, using an AOE Ult like Hou Yi or Poseidon as you run can save your team from losing points.
