The best and easiest way to know your competition in any given Duel 2 arena is by going online to www.terrablood.com where you will find 5 different categories of information when you click on Duel II, plus there are valuable insightful articles and links to both the Duel 2 Forums and an informative website hosted by Assur.
For the sake of brevity, it is category #4 that will prove to be the most helpful tool in getting to know your competition in any Duel 2 arena.
New Players should find this especially helpful in DM 93, where you have 10 turns of training, before transferring your stable to another regular or slow arena, according to your particular taste and budget.
Category 4 is the Duel 2 Arena Newsletters link and when you click on a particular arena and scroll down to the recognition rankings, you will discover that most, if not all, the listed warriors have their style listed in front of their current record.
As of Saturday [July 24, 2021] the only warrior in DM 93 that is not listed with a style verification is Pappy Blue Ribs of Beer Bellies; however, there are 3 style possibilities listed in blue to the far right [SL - ST - WS].
How did my warrior style get outed?
One of your competing managers in DM 93 went to Category 5 at the terrablood website and entered the Warrior Name / Home Arena / ID / Style / Your Manager Name [manager submitting the data] to add your warrior style to the data base.
It is important for the integrity of the game to be honest when submitting style information. Just ask Consortium about a certain manager who entered false information a number of years ago and how it affects your reputation!
On T-586 I utilized the DM 93 warrior rankings listings from the terrablood arena newsletters link and decided to down challenge Lockout [1-3-0, 6] of BB CBA Negot. with my warrior Great White Shark [1-0-0, 14]. It was a style advantage for me to send my Lunger against an Aimer managed by Assur.
It was a 3-minute battle that sent Lockout to the Infirmary! Fortunately, his Aimer did not die! My Lunger learned 4 skills in the process!
However, I prepared myself for any repercussions from Assur that would result from my down challenge! However, it was a calculated risk that I was willing to take, especially after viewing the style listings for DM 93 at the terrablood site!
On T-587 Great White Shark was challenged by a warrior managed by a New Player, so the repercussion of my previous down challenge was not targeted at my Lunger, who managed to win his third fight and gain 2 more skill learns in the process!
Assur chose instead to down challenge two of my other warriors: Puffer Fish Peril and The Alligator Gar.
Lockout [1-4-0, 7] the aforementioned Aimer chose to down challenge my Total Parry, which is usually a distinct advantage for the Aimer! Puffer Fish Peril [1-1-0, 4] somehow manage to defeat her opponent in the first minute! Unfortunately, she failed her stat train!
Assur seemed to bring his wrath upon The Alligator Gar from my previous down challenge! This sort of thing is to be expected if you go the down challenge route!
Ugly [3-1-0, 30] a Lunger down challenged The Alligator Gar [1-1-0, 9] in an almost perfect scenario for a Lunger to down challenge an Aimer!
I feel fortunate that my Aimer did not go to the Infirmary or die on the DM 93 arena battle sands!
My Aimer did get the first attack using his Scimitar that wounded Ugly in the chest, but Ugly avoided the second Scimitar blow!
It only took Ugly one shot with his Short Spear to defeat my Aimer with a wound to the right biceps!
Ugly learned a Defensive action, while The Alligator Gar learned yet another Attack skill, along with a Parry skill, for his first multi-skill learn turn!
New Players should take advantage of the Duel 2 information available at the www.terrablood.com website!
Especially the warrior style listings in the arena newsletter.
The information will serve you well here in Noblish Island during your 10 turns of training, as well as when you check the various arena newsletters to decide where you will choose to send your stable, after your 10 turns of training here are complete!
Enjoy the game and be sure to explore the terrablood site to enhance your Duel 2 experience!
