As fas as I can tell the old way of choosing weapon for you hero is gone in favour of the new improved troop setup interface (love it btw). But s far as I can tell the old weapon selection is still used for arena. Is there any way to select what weapon you use in arena?

> Hey there! We now have a very neat system to sort weapons in the troop tab. That’s really cool. One thing I find a bit sad, is that this system does not work when switching weapon in the Arena, which happens, well, a LOT, since every new line-up pretty much usually means switching your weapon around based on the colours you need. Is there any way we could get the sort filter in that weapon tab too? Thanks a lot for reading!

Thanks for the link, but I still don’t see how you actually switch the weapon for arena. Am I missing something?

Just click your hero before starting the battle, weapon selection will pop-up.

You just have to click on the weapon in the Arena to go to the Weapon tab. Like before in fact, that didn’t change.
