@Sirrian and/or @Nimhain - If these new troops are not yet in the Arena, could you please let us know when they’ll be added? Thanks in advance.

@Grundulum
I use something similar to clear tasks (in PvP)… so it will definitely work in PvE.
1. Swap the order of Tankbot 2000 and Carnex _IF_ you have Carnex triple trained.
2. Never ever use Carnex’s ‘Chain Reaction’ ability once you cast ‘Upgrade’ on Carnex.
3. In slot 4, Put a troop that will give you better team bonuses than Deep Borer (as you won’t ever need to use it)
One single Sparkgrinder ‘Upgrade’ cast and you should be doing 70+ skull damage… its game over. This team is powerful but slower than the current Meta ones.

@Legendmaker. I don’t believe they’re in Arena yet. They’ll go in at the beginning of next month.

@therealwetwilly, although I didn’t think the phrase you used was that offensive, may I suggest that you use ‘crikey’ in the future? It’s dev-approved 😉
