[Discuss][Help] Is it even worth it to attempt Arena (1 or 2, opinions on both) without heavily investing in plusses?

Post Body

So I have a lot of teams, and I like jumping around between them based on what I feel like and what friends/BFs have up at the moment.
But what that means, as a kinda-IAP (shark/paddlefish? trying to quit with moments of weakness, basically), is that the focus on any one isn't SUPER tight, so plusses are kind of all over the place.
Most of my teams/monsters are at or near max level and at or near max skill, but that's about it. Do I have to get into plussing to have a reasonable shot, or can I get through on the strength of the teams?
I usually find going for skillups more enjoyable than going for plusses (since I don't need anything really for skillups from the dungeons that are good for plusses), but I can switch over if I need to.
I'm trying to remember teams off the top of my head, since I'm at work, so I might get a sub or two wrong (questionmarks are the ones I'm not sure of):
AFLuci/DValk/AHaku/BPanda/DMeta-or-AYomi (I know it's suboptimal probably - I'm also working on a similarish APanda team to try out)
ALak/Skuld/Skuld/Gabriel/Scheat (Scheat is my only near-hyper, about 291)
Rukia/Skuld/Skuld/AOrochi/Scheat (just started this one)
ABastet/LiuBei/Verd/Vishnu/GAthena (Vishnu is low-skill)
ASakuya/LKali/LKali/DKali/ASusano
AYomi/Satsuki/DValk/Z8/DMeta (Z8 is low-skill)
Urd/Urd/Ronia/CaoCao/ARa
ARa/DKali/DKali/AIsis/LKali?
Wukong/Raphael/AVenus/Baal/flex
Again most of the monsters are skilled, including the 2 DKalis and up to 3 LKalis (I got a ton of Angelits trying to skill the DKalis).
Any hope, or do I have to give in and plus? Question goes for both Arenas, I don't really care a ton about doing A2 just for predras when A1 seems easier, but it'd be good to know if I have a shot.
I also have enough MP after 2 years to buy a dragon, but I'm trying to decide if I want RaDra, NepDra, or to wait and see if something better comes along (Shang Mei?) because with the exception of top-tier stuff like this I usually get by just fine. But that's an option too, probably (I think I have the optimal teams for RaDra, NepDra, and Shivadra, not sure on Yomidra but probably not since that usually includes another Yomidra).
Really appreciate any help.
