Special Arena Team Compositions
Table of Contents
Note: More details will be added..soon, maybe a FAQ will be written
For general Arena information, click here.
For Arena mechanics, click here. Read this guide to better understand the reasoning behind the team compositions below and their positioning.
Note 1: When your CP is lower than 84.6% of your opponent’s, you will receive the same CP deficit stat penalty as you do in campaign. When the CP difference is too big, situations such as enemy Noise 1 vs 5 your entire team can happen.
Note 2: The following units have been arranged in the same placement as they should be during battle.
Note 3: All teams can be used for both attacking and defending unless otherwise mentioned.
Note 4: Team 1=Scarlet Nuke, Team 2=Stall team Alice, Team 3=Shotguns focus fire. When attacking, you should use Team 2 to beat opponent’s Team 3, and use Team 1 against opponent’s Team 2 if your Team 1 activates full burst before opponent’s Team 2 activate Noah’s burst (which should be the case unless opponent’s Team 2 has extra charge speed or your Team 1 rocket launcher missed attack). Otherwise, use your Team 1 against opponent’s Team 1 and hope that your Team 1 is more invested.
Standard Version
This version assumes you do not overly invest into your units for PVP purposes (not giving overload gears to supports such as Noise and Rapunzel).
Team 1
![]() Scarlet | ![]() xAnne | ![]() Centi | ![]() Anis | ![]() Jackal | |
Harmony Cube | Resilience | Onslaught | Quantum Relic | Adjutant | Adjutant |
Notes | All skills require investment. Skill 1 and burst should be raised to the point where your Scarlet can one shot the enemy team. (with buff from xAnne’s burst) Skill 2 is raised to deal with shotguns, high level Skill 2 can easily wipe out enemy shotgun team. | Burst requires investment to buff Scarlet’s ATK. | For burst generation to activate full burst ASAP | For burst generation to activate full burst ASAP | For burst generation and damage sharing to prevent Scarlet from getting killed before full burst |
Team 2
![]() Noah | ![]() Noise | ![]() Rapunzel | ![]() Alice | ![]() Biscuit | |
Harmony Cube | Resilience/Wingman | Resilience | Resilience | Resilience | Quantum Relic |
Notes | Does not need investment, just get her skills to lvl4 for CP. (She can stay at 1/1/1 if you really don’t have the resource.) | Skill 2 and burst requires investment (level 6+, especially for burst). Higher burst level on Noise can compensate for lower level on Rapunzel’s Skill 1. | Skill 1 requires investment (level 6+). Higher Skill 1 level on Rapunzel can compensate for lower level on Noise’s burst. | Skill 1 and burst requires investment (you should be doing so for PVE purposes anyway). Alice should reach at least 85% charge speed when she activates burst. Mandatory at least 10+ ammo (from OL gear sub-stats), ATK and ELE damage sub-stats are good to counter Noah. | Higher stats recommended by equipping her with T9 manufacturer gears (no need to upgrade to OL gears, just upgrade to +5). |
Note: If you only have 4 slots for Resilience Cube, use Wingman Cube on Noah and give Resilience to other units instead.
Team 3
![]() Poli | ![]() Pepper | ![]() Power | ![]() Noir | ![]() Drake | |
Harmony Cube | Wingman | Assault/Wingman | Onslaught | Bastion | Bastion |
Notes | Skill 1 and burst at least lvl4. Poli has to be tanky enough to at least use burst before killed (equipping her with T9 manufacturer gears and upgrade to +5). | Burst at least lvl4, can be raised to higher if you have leftover resources after upgrading other units with higher priority skills. | Skill 1 and burst at least lvl5, burst can be raised to lvl7+ if you have leftover resources after upgrading other units with higher priority skills. OL Head and Arm can be given for higher stats. | Equip with T9 manufacturer gears and upgrade to +5 is recommended. | Equip with T9 manufacturer gears and upgrade to +5 is recommended. |
Note: If you don’t have Power or don’t want to invest in Power, Privaty is a good sub option for Power.
Advanced Version
This version assumes you have invested a considerable amount into yours units for PVP purpose (giving overload gears to supports such as Noise and Rapunzel, investing in skills that aren’t that useful for PVE but make a difference for PVP).
Note: Use the standard version instead if you aren’t investing for PVP, this version requires some units to be highly invested to work
Team 1
![]() Scarlet | ![]() Rapunzel | ![]() xAnne | ![]() Centi | ![]() Anis | |
Harmony Cube | Resilience | Resilience | Onslaught | Quantum Relic | Adjutant |
Notes | Skill 1 and Skill 2 at lvl10, burst at lvl7+. 4 OL upgraded to +5. Sub-stats: Max ammo+=ATK>Crit rate=DEF | 4 OL upgraded to +5. Sub-stats: 1-2 lines of Charge speed | Burst at lvl6+. OL Head>Arm. Sub-stats: 1-2 lines of Charge speed | No requirement for skills, raise to lvl4 for CP. OL Head>Arm>Chest. Sub-stats: 1-2 lines of Charge speed | No requirement for skills, raise to lvl4 for CP. OL Head>Leg>Chest. Sub-stats: 1-2 lines of Charge speed |
Note: For Scarlet, Max ammo+=ATK>Crit rate=DEF means the priority for sub-stats here is max ammo+ and ATK having highest priority, then crit rate and DEF having the same lower priority.
Team 2
![]() Noise | ![]() Jackal | ![]() Alice | ![]() Drake | ![]() Noah | |
Harmony Cube | Resilience | Adjutant | Resilience | Bastion | Resilience |

Sub-stats: Needs at least 12 ammo, Max ammo+=ATK>ELE damage | Skill 1 and Skill 2 at lvl6. 4 OL given and upgraded to +5 for stats, no need to reroll for sub-stats. | No requirement for skills, raise to lvl4 for CP. 4 OL given and upgraded to +5, priority: Head>Chest>Leg Sub-stats: 1-2 lines of Charge speed |
Note: For Alice, Max ammo+=ATK>ELE damage means the priority for sub-stats here is max ammo+ and ATK having highest priority, then ELE damage.
Team 3
![]() Poli | ![]() Pepper | ![]() Power | ![]() Noir | ![]() Biscuit | |
Harmony Cube | Wingman | Assault/Wingman | Onslaught | Bastion | Quantum Relic |

OL Head>Arm for stats. | Skill 1 and burst at least lvl5, burst can be raised to lvl7+ if you the resource. OL Head>Arm for stats. | Skill 1 at lvl7+, Skill 2 at lvl5 or lvl9 (good for PVE anyway). 4 OL and upgraded to +5, prioritize Head>Arm. | Equip with T9 manufacturer gears and upgrade to +5 is recommended. |
Incomplete Box Version
This version assumes you are missing certain key units for PVP. It is also assumed that you have limited investments into units for PVP (mainly focusing on Team 1 and Team 2).
Few things to note:
- Power’s best replacement is Privaty, Drake/Noir’s best replacements are Sugar/Maiden.
- Modernia stall team can be used to replace Alice, Privaty, Power, Maiden teams for ATTACKING (ONLY attacking).
- Use Blanc if she is able to survive from shotguns focus fire, otherwise replace Blanc with Makima.

Harmony Cube | Resilience/Wingman | Resilience | Resilience | Bastion | Quantum Relic |
Replacement for Noise
![]() Rapunzel |
Replace Noise with Rapunzel if you don’t have Noise. What happens if you don’t have either of them? Pretty much screwed
Try using your highest CP B1 unit here if it causes stat deficit onto the opponent or a RL (rocket launcher) B1 unit, you might have a chance if this team can somehow activate burst without the tankiness from Noise/Rapunzel.
Team 3
![]() Makima | ![]() Pepper | ![]() Power | ![]() | ![]() | |
Harmony Cube | Wingman | Assault/Wingman | Onslaught | Bastion | Quantum Relic |
well god forbid you don’t have Anne: Miracle Fairy.
I don’t use her at all and I’m currently top 1 on my special arena ladder.
congrats whale
or imagine not having Scarlet
Yeah… Imagine…
No jackal, Pepper, Emma, Maiden, Noah, Rapunzel 💀
damn what a shitass compositions, no n…. use this shit
jackel and biscuit ruin arena so hard lol
update new special arena comp please
Update please 🙏🏻
So many new PvP based nikkes since this was last posted.
Is this going to get updated? :sadge:
when can you do a all other players based teams? theres so many options and this gives just a basis on like the metas .
Nice!
fck ı dont have jackal , biscuit , noah , anne what can ı do now
A very guide guide compared to the previous one! Well done!
Why should biscuit not get OL gear for pvp? Is it better to priortise OL boots Noir, instead of chestpiece or helmet for biscuit?
Finally this got updated, and finally we get alternative teams, still as I don’t have Xanne, Noah or Rapunzel, I still have to be creative with some teams
Same. I don’t have Biscuit either.
Yo why is scarlet first isn’t she gonna get targeted first? shouldn’t she be in the middle since she is ar and rocket launchers, sr on the sides?
You see the Rapunzel and Miracle Fairy Anne? If they’re gonna chew up Scarlet that fast, she’s also tearing a massive chunk out of them and generating a lot of burst. Even if she dies, Rapunzel or Xanne will res her. I got no Xanne so I use Blanc but my ordering is Scarlet, Blanc, Rapunzel, Centi, Anis.
The teams offered here are surprisingly great. I feel kindof dumb because I was using what amounts to the Alice Stall comp with my Scarlet in it when that was clearly not needed at all.
Wow really nice update to this guide! Any notes about Makima skills/gears?
She can be low investment, her main purpose is to tank / Sponge up all the hits she can for the team until her skill passive runs out (Invulnerable for 5s upon receiving fatal damage), the duration doesn’t change with skill level. But just if needed just to boost the CP a bit, the usual 4/4/4 skill investment can be done.
Damn, so Emma is not an option even for pvp anymore?
Everything listed is of course just a general suggestion of an incredibly powerful comp. Depending on the meta of your particular SP grouping, Emma can still find usage.
Like, as dumb as it sounds, since Emma has fallen out of favor and I personally don’t give a crap if they throw their Scarlet at her, I’m running one of my defense setups with Modernia out in the open.
This is an incredible update to this guide. The previous version was honestly just not very helpful especially when you’re missing core units like xAnne, but this one pretty much fixes all my gripes. I really appreciate that this guide was completely reworked into what is probably the best Special Arena guide out there right now. Definitely gonna go through my teams and use this guide to improve them immensely.
I’m having some doubts about the Scarlet/CAnne/Centi/Anis/Jackal team shown here. Against Scarlet teams with Noah, it can’t burst fast enough to outspeed Noah’s invuln, and because the team doesn’t have invuln protection itself, it dies to the enemy Scarlet nuke. Not sure how that’s supposed to work.
Don’t throw your Scarlet team at them if they do that then. Throw your Noise + Noah + Jackal stall team at it and laugh as their burst does nothing and they get torn apart as soon as both of your Noah’s immunity buff wears off.
I used to swear by using what he has listed for the Alice setup, but was running Scarlet in it. I realized upon switching to test out these suggested comps that I never needed to bunker up my Scarlet. It frees my scarlet instakill via burst setup to be used on something else instead of me wasting such highly valuable defensive means to support scarlet burst when it will do nothing in the mirror match anyways.
What do I do to replace Power? That’s like the only one not listed and she’s not on Standard pull so I can’t get her.
Ah I see in the text it says Privaty! Sorry!
Not sure if any char can replace Noir?
In “Missing Unit: xAnne” team 1, if I use Poli instead of xAnne, my Scarlet is sometimes taken out before bursting. Is there any way I can alleviate this?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but why are Drake and Noir’s recommended cubes Bastion? Both having only 9 shots in their magazine makes Bastion’s ammo refund sound counter-intuitive.
standard ver assumes you’re pairing Noir and drake together (+ ammo on burst and ammo refund), as you’ll always be bursting before your first mag runs out
Advanced ver assumes you have Overloaded gear and at least 1 ammo roll on drake.
Thanks for the clarification!
sad, I don’t even have Scarlet, Power, xAnne, and Jackal.. How can I replace them
Do you have a team if I’m missing Rapunzel and Biscuit?
Anyone have a link to the old guide?
I got all the units except Noah and Rapunzel lol
constantly get knocked down by those with 20k+ overall cp lower
arena is pain xD
Any suggestion for missing both rapanzel and jackal ?
