Hello :)
Is the attack stat better than defence? Because in the arena, my leviathan + got beaten twice by phyrus armor, even if I have 1 elemental advantage and better combined stats. I am lvl100+ and my leviathan+ is maxed. In my guild I am high commander with 6% water bonus.
It happened twice (on the same ennemy) with leviathan+ first (on main) so no special attack for both of us (except for his last hit but useless). I know the ennemy attacks first but considering it's water vs fire, I should down him with equivalent armors. Also, I noticed no critical hit from the ennemy during the second fight.
It think it's due to the fact that phyrus has lots of attack and low defence. It takes quite a lot of hits to down him (I didn't count but the last attack is a special one so I think it was around 4hits) with my leviathan (which has quite balanced stats) so defence seems not so important finally.
Have you noticed it too?
