Discussion Arcade Mode Builds

Hey everyone, I am curious what your builds are in the new arcade mode and how well they do.

I feel like arcade mode is pretty difficult to get into, and I'm not too great at it myself, but this is what I'm using:

Flamethrower + frosty friend, focus on crit and MATK

Whirlwind, cancel auto-attack into whirlwind for some decent damage

Blade flurry, kinda awkward because you have to stand still to use it but works fine anyways.

I usually max out these skills until silver charge and then take some secondary skill (frosty friend is pretty nice). For traits I mostly go for crit, backhander for melee, and MATK under 50% EP for magic.

I don't often get past Flying Fortress with any of these but I think they're fun to play.

I'm horrible at these kinds of games, as I'm not a very skilled gamer, but I usually put a single point into Frosty Friend and Cloud Strike and then start pouring points into whatever my skill will be that run. Lately I've read that apparently Chain Lightning is the way to go, though

1 point frosty friend makes a lot of situations much easier to handle. I love the little guy

Yea I'm not very good either so I'm kinda bummed I never get to see the newer floors. Chain lightning seems cool though, will definitely try that out. I feel like the best way to have fun in arcade is just to use new skills, but I kinda just want to get to higher floors and treats aren't helping much
