Best Champions for Arena (Defense)

April 30, 2020 Guides

When it comes to Arena Defense

  1. Speed: Similar to Arena Offense, you can try to outspeed your opponent and control / kill them before they have a chance to attack you.
  2. Bunker: If they can’t beat you, and you also can’t beat them, the “stalemate” counts as a win for the Defense. That means some of the best Arena Defense teams don’t necessarily defeat all their opponents but simply survive until the attacker gives up.

Remember that on defense, the AI controls your Champions. This means you want to know what they’re likely to do when you’re not controlling them. Some Champions do better than others depending on the complexity of their skills. Test this out by using your desired Arena Defense build on Offense.

Below are the top ranked Champions for Arena Defense, and further down you’ll find some videos with tips and tricks.
