Never seen the point in gold rewards in the 1st place most people that can get gold or black had no use for it any ways.

Wow I can fight 1 fight and win a reward only the top 20k-50k should get jack make a person fight for a reward not gave to on a silver plater.

The bronze-black perfect
All these stupid ribben ranks get rid of all but 1 or color the top 1 or 2 ribbon to show a person actually put some effort in.


That's my rant
And before someone rants back at me I have never won better than bronze.

What is interesting to me is how many people have already spent more gems than the reward. It has been three hours and playing a perfect game without gems should land you around 2000 points max. For every 300-400 pts (roughly what you get for 8 straight double downs) more above that, you would have to spend gems to get 8 energy. It costs 10 gems per 15 energy which means spending 40 gems would get you 60 energy or enough fights to get you 7-8 rounds of full double downs. This would land you around 4000-5000 points. So you figure that people are spending 10 gems for every 600-800 pts above 2000. The prizes have definitely gotten extra excitement but strange to me for those that blow all their gem on the first three hours of the tournament.

I think GREE and the wise one have improved the rewards big time. It's better to have more ranks now, because people will try harder to get higher. Also gratz to Ryuugan for winning the last one!

Ya Grats but With only 1 black now people will spend hundreds and hundreds of real money to get.
Seen it before in other games.

It's like in kingdom age the tourny there a person spent 800 real money for rank 1 and you don't get nothing for it.


I don't mind the more ranks but who is going to want to fight for the higher ribbons no one becouse there all the same color etc. A lot of players only care about the metal not the reward.

I am fighting 1 fight not wasting my time never been past rank 800 that gets me a ribbon now so I see no point.
Won't be fighting any more it's going to be who has the biggest check book.

We will see after this tourny though I might be eating my words.

People will want to fight for the higher ranks, whether ribbon or medals for the rewards of course. The fact that you get more rewards for higher ranks will make players want to work harder for the rewards. It's not so much of getting the medal or ribbon. Probably only a number of them would want it for the achievement.

It is possible but you won't average that over 7 days. You can't completely control your opponents. 1000 pts would require fighting 8 opponents at a higher level getting 45 base points plus shutdown and revenge bonus.

nope revenge bonus isnt necessary... only the shutdown bonus and higher lvl

yeah u cant usually control it, but u can choose when to use ur gems, n if u choose the right moment u are able to have a lot of em in a row :P , that was my point saying with 10 gems u can almost get 2k pts

I have a Cloud King Finery's Armor lv.28 ish... Should I use it to help enhance my lv.66 swamp shaman+ or keep it cos I think it looks pretty cool to be honest. Everyone seems to be talking about it like its trash. Opinions?
I've also got a lv.44 Infernal Armor+ I want to max out too to help with dark prince raids.

That's entirely up to you, but if I were you, i'd keep it just because it looks cool. I'm a collector so I like to keep rare/cool looking armors I get.

But if you are looking to use it in battle, it's not the greatest option. Even though it's the best Mono Air armor, it just doesn't stack up to the newer mono elements being released. Assuming you have the + version, the max that your armor will get is 746/703. In comparison, the mono water armor (hydromancer mantle) that was released a couple weeks ago maxes out at 1093/869.

To make matters worst, it doesn't even compare to the current dual armors. Which most of have either 1000+ attack or defense.

Hmm I see. The half dragon and admiral are too common among players nowadays. Doesn't seem very limited edition anymore. Anyways, either than the forum members, the top 25 don't usually have many tough opponents. Just need to get your lineup right I guess. Wicked+ is definitely a killer haha.

The system needs a little overhaul. You should get more points for defeating those ranked higher than you regardless of levels. This will put better players up at the top and make strategy more important. Also, your opponent options should always be players within 10 ranks from you. In this model, it will force players to change their lineup constantly to adapt. For example, I can take out Ryuugan knowing his lineup but what if he changes it up every few hours?

If you use gems, you can simply choose your opponent list better and keep your double downs. Even without using gems, I could mostly select beatable opponents and remember those that I have lost to and use armor that targets them next time. My problem is not being able to play often enough since i play on a wifi only ipad. Even then, I usually place in the top 30. If I used gems and had this on my phone, I would play undefeated and it wold not be hard to place top 5 every tournament. That is why I think it needs an overhaul. You shouldn't be allowed to be that selective with your opponents and bypass hard opponents.

This usually fixes itself after 20 minutes or so, it's nothing to worry about. It happens to me about once a week.

My arena opponents list just got to 3 people only, down from about 8 usually. Does it just stay this way now? This didn't happen before when I tried to keep most of my opponents in the 50-200 range but from what I read maybe this is the way it is for high win streaks?

Edit: never mind, restarting my iphone fixed this.

With this new reward schemes, I guess it's real hard for me to get the gold or black medal coz too much players are flushing lots of gems in. I would say its damn lot of $$$. Look at those top 25, many of them are really "weak" in their armours, just left me wondering..... How much should I spend to get the No.1. Worth it? Guess I should just hang on like zhy stay cool and relax:)

Now they go do this crap to boss rewards I will most likely quit.

All depends how much you want rank 1 and how much others want it.

Ribbons have always been easy to get in the first place, it's the medals that were harder. Anyways, I would think that players would have been happier with the new rewards in the arena. There's more meaning in participating in the arena now with the new reward system.

This question has been asked a number of times in the course of this thread, and I'm a little surprised that no one has answered it (or perhaps someone DID answer it, and I managed to miss it) so I'm going to try to shed a little light on the situation.

After we've been playing the game for a few weeks, it becomes very easy to forget what it was like back in the early levels. But, if you think back hard enough, you'll remember a point when the game started guiding you toward the arena (through quests) that for a certain period of time (something like level 5-10), ALL of your arena opponents were not REAL opponents. Rather, they were shills, nothing but basic knights in basic armors that could all be killed with one shot, right?

In that situation, it's IMPOSSIBLE to lose a double down. One wouldn't have to spend all that many gems to exploit that situation into a very high position on the tournament leaderboard. That's EXACTLY how you find so many wildly weak opponents at the highest tourney levels.

In fact, if I got a new phone, and was able to start K&D from scratch at level 1, that would definitely be my plan. I'd spend the first week avoiding leveling up, and just racking up arena points. The rewards (armors, gems, and fusion stones) would set me up to just ROCKET through levels in the second week forward.

Hope this clears things up for some of y'all! :)

Actually when we meet strong opponents with maxed out 70's armours from epic bosses/DPCs/in-game stages, most of time i realise its not that we are weak so as to lost that match, but it's how lucky we are by ; (1) not to miss (2) commander in the right armour (3)placing of the 3 characters with the right armours

Before we actually choose the right armours for the contest, we might consider what elements are really too common in the arena. and i would say it's earth and fire. swam shamen , deep dragon , half dragon , infernal lord , dark prince and regalia are too common as they are powerful armours and easily attained, so the best element would be water to defeat the fire and spirit to defeat the earth.

the best part is the mono element armour like hydromancer , totally powerful against regalia/half dragon and dark prince/infernal lord. i would say it's a curse for these BIG 4s. swamp shamen/deep dragon also good but with the earth element in it, defence drops as dark prince/regalia have spirit to hit hard on them. So eldritch keeper might be a good back up when comes head to head with swamp shamen/deep dragon/wicked w/wurm. many might say mono element not worth investing , but it's all up to individual.

i would say it's rare to come by a maxed out storm soc/hydromancer, so wurm can keep in the wardrobe, only use when u fight that someone.......maybe me LOL.....

i'm not rushing on my half dragon though it has such nice stats, but the earth element is really a flaw.why? too less air element in arena. when against wicked w/dark prince/regalia/spectral/sky G, the high defence is weaken with the earth element in it and thus ended up with a 0% advantage, as it's suppose to beat off these spirit elemental armours easily but got screwed back.....

conclusion is, you may not be lucky enough to win those top armours from DPCs to be powerful, but you may still win with the right strategy.

cheers !!

Everyone keep a close eye on Gold medal! Black was bought & paid for, it's the new 5th place that has the real excitement.

Me & Will going head to head
