> Has the Arena had an update in the last few days? Because I’ve noticed that the troops we are offered don’t seem as good now. I used to be able to complete an arena with at least 7 wins (sometimes all eight) and it was really good to do. I tried to do one last night and again today but noticed that the attack my troops had was significantly lower than my opponents and I lost both opening battles thereby losing the arena. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a whine or complaint, I’m just curious because it seems so different now.

Hey @Taylsa13,

Yes, there were some bugs in the Arena which was causing the difficulty stat bonuses to not be applied to opponent troops. This would be why opponents would seem harder in Warlord 2.
