    Power Attack discussion

    So we have all had our ups and downs with the new arena already. Does anyone have specifics on the power attack though? I know it consumes x3 arena energy but when you win you get the same points and it counts as a single victory. I'm assuming it gives an attack/defense boost?

    I know I'd be loving life if they added in bonus arena points for doing power attacks lol I blew through 90 arena energy pure power attacks before I realized it was pointless. Hurt my rank abit but I'm still rocking top 50

    Haven't even tried it yet. I guess keep track of numbers of easily recognized names. To know how much damage you do with your armors to the most common armors you come across. Then when you see someone else you know has that armor, power attack them and see.

    Use GW epics from people not in RR. You'll know they're all non+ to remove that discrepancy.

    I'm on android, don't need to worry about RR lol and I've been tracking numbers. Problem is I'm getting a mass of keys and have leveled out my armors. They're about maxed though so I can continue.

    its probably the best gem expense for a week or 2, while you still have excess gems from last war, and while the arena energy sale is on.

    and after you burn out your gems, i don't know how you'll feel then.

    well enchanted keys drops more raw mats, some fusion stones, and gems. hopefully we get luckier there too.

    The point of it is to save you. Say you are on a 15 kill streak, and get matched against someone you will lose to. Bam power attack, and you save your streak.

    I used it once out of curiosity. It seems to enhance my attack.. maybe another 50% or so? Hard to tell because you dont really know the stats of your opponent. It doesnt seem to change anything else though...

    I assumed it is like the guild war power attack and gives a 50% boost to attack/defense.

    I thought you can only select this option when you pick your next opponant not once you've seen their armor.

    The first 20 win streak I used one on my 19th battle to ensure that I wouldn't lose. Turns out I didn't need to since my opponent was nowhere near my level with his knights. Oh well. Made up for those gems with the ones I got from the keys that I got with the 20th win. I can see how they would be useful though...sometimes I get to a higher level (15+) and I get pigeonholed into being able to face only very high ranking opponents that I will probably lose against. That's annoying, but it seems like another way to get some gems out of a player. But whatever. I win 90% of my Arena encounters anyways.

    actually the power attack is like what someone said earlier to save your streaks. they are conditions where all the players on your fight list is strong. then u might need to do a power attack to save your streak. esp if u are close to 20.
