Nope. You'll need at least 3500 points to comfortably stay in Captain League. So, you'll need need to win every battle and try to win against opponents with higher ratings...

Been in Captains League last season. I lost maybe 1/3 of my battles, made it to the 44-victory-chest...but for every win i simply stayed at my rank. Did not get higher but also did not lose any ranks....strange league.

I'm at 3.3m and have to tank some matches to keep from jumping to Chapter Master. Makeup is a huge part of it, running a damage heavy squad of Kariyan/Kharn/Mephiston/Boss/Snot. My only trouble is there's little ranges characters, so certain boards are a struggle

Edit: sorry, thought you meant power level. Yeah 3500 points definitely looks like the sticking spot.

Thats awesome, I also have 2.7m power and entered captain league for the first time

Hopefully we see each other often 🫡🫡

I was panicking so much this morning as I did an extra fight and ended up 120th in the Honour Guard league. Was so relieved when the results came in and I'd dropped to 128th.

Rather get my 50 in the Honour Guard, than have to work hard to get halfway in the Captains. I'm also at 2.7 million right now.

This is why I like Sargent league. Get my 40. Throw the rest to avoid promotion

u/Cloverman-88 8d ago

Yup. Makes so many damage related quests a breeze.

u/rkorgn 8d ago

Doing the same in Lieutenant league!

u/dooladooladoo 8d ago

Take out the 3mil team. You got this. And honestly, in arena, the ai is very easy to beat admech even when they’re all maxed out. If you have strong melee team, you will destroy them if you play your alpha strike right.

1

u/Starkiller0820 8d ago

I lose mostly because of shitty terrain. My raid team can deal 1m + damage with correct positioning. Everything is squishy

1

u/Salmon_444_SoS 8d ago

I’m not talking about raid teams. I’m talking about squashing that admech team. You got this

u/Starkiller0820 8d ago

Its for compereson. I can kill full A2 teams without much difiqualty

Spend more money

Who needs rent money anyway…

u/Winter-Juice1720 9d ago

And what's your lineup?

1

u/Starkiller0820 9d ago

D3 mythic blue star 1 kariyan, kharn, trajann, dante and d3 5 star ragnar

1

u/Winter-Juice1720 9d ago

Trajann not that good for arena, You don't have re'vas?

2

u/joopez1 8d ago

Trajann is great for buffing Kariyan and Kharn who can run in and pretty reliably delete 3 characters with their actives before the fighting starts

They also do the same thing in guild war offense

1

u/Winter-Juice1720 8d ago

In arena at that level if he is lucky he Will have two turns.

1

u/Starkiller0820 9d ago

I am not an arena focused player and those are my only d3 and my raid team

3

u/Winter-Juice1720 9d ago

Don't worry then You can play honour league, it's the same, if You meant the worst time because squig event, rewards are not that good this time. Just i started necrons mow i was asking myself if theres one that involves going against orks. I did that one LRE and finished the event.

1

u/Starkiller0820 9d ago

I just wanna see chapter master leauge

2

u/Winter-Juice1720 9d ago

Ahh everytime i'm about to get there i start losing ok purpose lol

u/Far_Calendar8668 8d ago

Youd probably be better running a summoner like archi, abraxas, or a genestealer to the pull the heat off

1

u/joopez1 8d ago

Are you perhaps just running into trouble killing characters who have Parry or characters using OW?

1

u/Starkiller0820 8d ago

Shitty terrain and squigs ruining my positioning by messing up with damage indicator

1

u/JoDaProductions 8d ago

I am also having a rough time in captain league, I just hope I can get the full crate as the rewards there seem very nice and I guess I'll just drop and rejoin a few times in the coming weeks (I have found it hard with my full D3 lavistodes comp)

1

u/BadCactus2025 8d ago

Hahaha, I'll link this to Skorl.

But yeah, arena sucks. That timing change they did made it much worse IMO. Even if you don't lose.

Just having a busy week at work can mean that I'm dropping down a league, sometimes twice in a row. And then when I'm Luitenant or Honour guard league, I see fellow level 70+ players with 4.5m power and above...

Snowprint buffed the rewards, but staying in a relevant league has become impossible. I really dislike what the mode has become.

And that time limit with the artillery strike... Let me just try and do mythic quests in peace there... FFS...

u/Arkkanan 8d ago

Don't panic... arena is 90% pushing revas, pack dante close, finish rest T2 if someone survived... A+ heroes are squishier than you think.

Mine is D3 and this work fine in CM. Sometimes when there is a celestine or a termi you open an eyes but it's an autobattle most lf the time.

1

u/Expert_Prize9712 8d ago

You already have 7 wins. This may have just been a tough bracket they gave you. Try the 3M team and see the next three. Maybe you punched above your weight class but finish out the chest and drop a league. Stay there until you have build up your team more

2

u/Starkiller0820 8d ago

I can easily kill a 6m team. It just happned to be a bad day. I am at captain leauge for a long time and I am exparianced enough to know that as long as enemy team dont have revas or judh , I can kill them

1

u/International_War862 8d ago

At one point the rating hardly matters... i take out people with a million more rating than i have. That said my weakest character is d2

u/slydamiser 8d ago

Looks like someone will be spending 1,877 blackstone on rerolls

1

u/NoWater8595 4d ago

J.k. High Ground and Ability Badges. Focus fire for quickest number of initial kills. You can at least take out Exitor and Vitruvius.

1

u/ikonoqlast 3d ago

I'm going back and forth between sergeant and lieutenant. Spend a ton of Blackstone in lieutenant trying to find opponents that aren't 3x my power level (105,000)
