I would like to have this team fight before Academy Team.

Well, that took too long.  Next time I will split into divisions and run best-of-one with single elimination playoffs.

Counter-Terrorists 18-4-2
Orange Company     17-5-2
Gruff n' Stuff     17-7
Grey Knights       15-9
Zombie Pride       11-12-1
Body Parts         10-14  
Poisoned Wine      7-16-1
The Dark Mark II   6-18
Charwizard         4-20
 

Good:
lolcharms (ban Steal Heart with MA > 7 until next patch)
Secret Fist (regularly wrecked whole teams)
Cover Fire (Cover Fire + Concentrate > 90% of AoE skills, great power and range, partially bypasses Defense UP)
Bussard (seriously, dude was a badass - may have to examine axe/handbag scaling)
Sandbagging (Squidgy's very vanilla team did quite well thanks to hellacious sandbagging, overall res units were well correlated with success)

Bad:
Undead Ring (one-shot Dia, horrifying. plus Raise, potions, Murasame, Fire 2, Asura... just unusable)
Jutsus (there's still room to play with these though)
Silf (terrible success rate, Don't Move is hardly a premier status)


Ugly:
40 Brave units with Regen and/or Move-HP Up and/or Blood Sword and/or Damage Split and/or Speed Save and/or Unyielding
Likewise, whole teams unable to reliably outpace regen/potion usage
Execute doesn't function properly (seems to Add: Critical, rather than functioning on Critical units), Greased Bolt is useless since Chicken expires next turn
Axes sometimes seem to hit twice, although the second hit never connects so it's purely visual I guess
Damage Split (this is a lot less clever when it's on every single unit)

It might be nice to have a thread with zero discussion, one page of team posts, edit your post if you want to edit your team(s)?  A bit hard to keep track in here.

Thanks for the vote of confidence pokeytax, I loved them too.  I think I addressed your points in my last post too, so I think we're on the same page.  They were based on a theoretical team with no unit/skill/item/JP restrictions that I made (the thief was another c/p Time Mage and they were all undead).  I really don't think undead will be viable until we see a Necromancer job that can revive them   .  I think my problem is that I get caught up in sub-themes (Dark absorb in this case) to the detriment of my team as a whole.

That being said:

Ominous Sky

New team that I'm starting to warm up to...


Damn spoiler tag won't accept apostrophes.

Can Monks equip ribbons? I honestly don't know, between vanilla/1.3/ASM'd.

Female monks can. Pretty sure it's always been like that unless that was changed in Arena.

Male Monks can equip Ribbons, the only headgear they have.

my newest team

my team even has it's own theme song

[Tatae kono mi ga kuchihateyouto...
kesshite akirame ha shinai!]
[Kono sekai ni...
ashita wo shinjiru kokoro ga aru kagiri...]
[Ushinai ha shinai! Kibou no ENERGY!!]
[Setsumenshiyou! Okonogi Retsu ha SANTUARIO kara yatte kita senshi
ALKARL kara sazukatta chikara de, seigi no HERO ALKAISER he to henshin suru no da!]
[Uooooo---!! HENSHIN! ALKAISER---!!!!]

:EDIT: fun fact, this team is based off of the team I used to clear Red's scenario in SaGa Frontier, the only one missing from my lineup is Rabbit, the little mech with the SATELLITE LASER CANNON

Alkaiser wields Punch Arts with an effective PA of 27, making him even more buff then Bussard

I always train Fuse as a gunner in SaGa Frontier, so that's what he appears as here

Doll is there for AoE and anti-sandbaggery

Cotton is the adorable little monster girl and team mascot

This is my first video, next time I will run more teams but I wanted something I knew would be a lightning round to start.
Otabo (Bloody's Angels) v. Pokeytax (Scholars and Gentlemen)

This topic is for those who want to challenge each other to battles using the Arena Patch.

If you want to submit a team, post it in the Team submission thread. This thread is now for videos and discussion only! If you wish to propose a balance change, please post in the right thread.

Hopefully, this makes it a bit less cluttered.

Zaen (Electrifying) v. Skip Sandwich (FIGHT! ALKAISER!)  

That's not my team!

(Looks like Zaen)

aww you didn't use my team's theme music. GG team Electrifying! It was a hard fought match, but in the end, you were no match for the shining justice of ALKAISER!

Hmm... Yeah, I definitely need to rework this setup(and probably completely).

First Arena Video! Thanks to pokeytax for memory cards.

Pride = "Another Boring Team" vs CT5Holy = "Don't act/Sleeping only"

The next fight! Barren vs Squidgy!


Barren, IP man didn't use repeating fist, and there was no "BRUURURURURURUuRTRBRUTBRTT". Disappointing.

Now that you mention it, I am pretty sure I saw Alkaiser whiff a Repeating Fist in a test match - are we sure it's flagged unblockable?
