Hey guys! So, after about a little over a year of playing, I'm finally looking at what to use to clear Arena 1. I have a few team options, and I'm not sure which will be the best one.. Factors to consider:

• How much effort the team will take to pilot

• I will be playing solo (though entering with co-op to save stamina)

• I am only a mid-level puzzler, and for more complicated boards on pivotal turns I pretty much absolutely have to use the pad simulator first.

Options:

• Nobunaga, APando, or ALuci. For these, I have the dark subs necessary to make what may possibly be their optimal teams. Multiple Pandos, Akechi, Eschamali, Haku, DValk, Zuoh, Loki..

• Gremory. Just rolled her and no Plum, though I can farm for MP.

• Thoria. I heard this is a reliable clear, and I have like 4 nearly hypered Sarias, as well as the Thor and 3 Ilms. Unfortunately, no LAkechi or DQXQ, or Myr would be a great option.

• Skuld & Sumire. I have some good water subs like A.I&I, U&Y & A.Orochi for Skuld, and Andromeda/Gab for Sumire. No dupe Sumires or Skulds though.

• Kaede. Her dragon dungeon is currently up, and I could farm up a dupe dragon for the skill.. Also, I do have 2 Verdandi, 2 Perseus, Michael? Sasuke? Vishnu? LiUUU Bei?

• ALB. Though I hear he kinda sucks outside co-op..

• Tsubaki. I do have a dupe Tsub. Along with 2 Leilan, those Sarias and Ilms for inherit, Napoleon, and some CaoCaos.

Also, I would be willing to simply wait until RevoMinerva, new Krishna, or new Ilm are released, if those would be significantly easier to clear with.

What do you think? Which would be your go-to?

Thank you for reading and for your advice/thoughts (:

Oh and I guess: Padherder is https://www.padherder.com/user/AuburnSky/monsters/#31,0,31,8191,4294967295_63,0,,0,0,0,eq,0,0,0,0,;default,0

I'm in the process of updating the rolls (that's why I list some things after the leader options) (the exact evo's and levels are rarely if ever up to date because that would be an insane chore)

Hardest dungeon I've cleared is probably Nordis or Z8, with ALB co-op. Solo, probably Gran and Gran reverse.
