My template Arena team to counter speed nukers
Hey all,
Had some success with this team, so figured I'd share it, in the hopes that others may benefit.
Note that this team is far less accessible than the cookie-cutter speed nuke teams. Unlike the speed nukers, this team requires a fair number of mid-to-late game pieces. There may be farmable champs that can be substituted, though I think it's unlikely, as each champ in the team (with the exception of the lead) has specific and unique abilities.
Team lead - Rhazin (or someone else with a team resist aura). This is the centerpiece of the team, and is absolutely critical. The extra resist is 100% necessary to be able to get your resists high enough without sacrificing other important stats. I'm using Rhazin on my CB team, so I can't gear him specifically for arena, but if I were to, I would likely have him in a Freeze or Stun set. Turn order isn't that important, but probably you'll want him first so that his A3 gives the rest of your team time to act.
Miscreated Monster in Shield set. Another very important piece, MM brings several important tools to your team. The stun on A1 and AOE stun on A2 are nice, but the main reason to have him is his A3 to activate his passive.
Iron Brago in Freeze set. Brago is going to open with his A3, and hopefully land a few provokes, which should pair nicely with the Freeze set. But the main reason he's on the team is because his aura will give the rest of your team a bit more survivability.
Underpriest Brogni in HP (or equivalent) set. Brogni is the closer for the team. He's going to start with his A3. The ATK buff is unfortunately mostly wasted, as the reset of the team is DEF or HP, but the main reason for him on the team is that the A3 blocks debuff. The passive is icing on the cake.
As mentioned earlier, the critical part of the team is getting the resists high enough to stop most of the debuffs. For context, my Rhazin has about 250 resist with the aura active, while my MM has about 350. Rhaz occasionally resists debuffs, while MM resists most. That leads me to believe that you'll want at least 300 resist on most of your team. Accuracy is important for your team as well, though less so than the resist. As such, I recommend most of the team to use a resist chest and banner - although if you can make up the resist through substats, you could consider running an acc banner instead. The rest of the items should be to match your champs needs - HP% gloves/boots for Brogni and MM, DEF% gloves/boots, or CR/CD gloves and DEF% boots for Brago and Rhaz.
