Overall i can't complain. If you have the time to put in 2k gems is easily in reach. The only thing I see hindering players is time.
Yes p2w gets an advantage but who would invest money in something with no return.
I would be more worried about the f2p guys who seem to be on here 24/7 than the p2w guys. Their the ones who have no more invested than the average player but won't sleep for the next 10 days to make sure they get gems or angel prime. Will be hitting their 5 fights while you are in a meeting listening to your boss giraffe. LOL

I'm mostly f2p (I buy star membership) and I used some gems I saved up and I'm currently at rank 46 (trying to keep close to 50). Its is heavily p2w but it still provides a good boost for f2p players who can put in the time.

Its is heavily p2w but it still provides a good boost for f2p players who can put in the time. Be prepared to spend all your gems(which will have to be quite a lot) or spend no gems at all. You are going to need a lot to keep up in the top 50, especially on the last day.

I really only want to be in the 99-51 rank area to get a sea wizard but if I can't keep up hopefully I'll be in the top 500.

Well at least we can gauge how many gem spender are out there and make a viable f2p plan.
What I don't like about this kinda event is you need to make a schedule for it. I guess having to schedule for blessing wasn't bad enough, now if you wanna have a chance you need to keep an eye every 2 hours (if you don't setup a macro).

I'm almost to the point where I will boycott Sky Arena just out of principle.
Unlimited refreshes for Scrolls INSTANTLY broke the mode and made it a reward system for all the loyal p2w.

Is anyone surprised its aiming toward p2w? I'm not and its ok like this, we have more than enough as f2p compare to most popular game of this genre, I'm happy with it. Enjoy the freebies you get as f2p, they are free!!

if I'm reading their response, they don't say the limit to amount of refreshes just acknowledges that you can spend gems to refresh. ? dont know

I'm ok with pay models, but they could at least leave it out in an indirect way. Like tournament or arena, clearly if you pay a huge amount you should have an edge, but at least you have to compete with skill and knowledge involved. It's not just hit the wallet and boom.
Now with sky arena it's a little too blatant and lazy way to ask for money. We are competing for top prizes not with skill and knowledge but also those who can click on 120 gem spending (and a little help from bug abuse won't hurt either). I think the refresh isn't the problem per se. It's the design of the thing. It could be more similar to Arena/Tournament or other modes. You have a X amount a day to rank up, so refreshing wouldn't clearly give a super edge. However, the fame score just remove skill out of equation. You may be top 100 in tournament, but you don't need a top 10000 deck to compete. That makes no sense for me.
It seems fair to f2p because you don't need to invest in a deck to rack up some scrap prizes left from the big spenders and hoarders. I'd be happier if you had to be challenged skillwise even with some p2w wall instead of what we have in this mode. The competition here is a scam and we can only enjoy the fireworks and scraps (and abuse the hell of it).

Guys, if the refreshes are unlimited, then it's a bug. Go to Notices and read the description for Sky Arena. Or was it the Question Mark in Fame/Rank rewards? I forgot.

The other day I tried to do Extreme difficulty. i mean i don't know about you but sky arena is pretty doable for f2p by the looks of it. And from what I can see the difference in Fame gain without any Fame cards is negligible between difficulties. Surely it adds up but if you're just playing for the personal fame awards then you don't really need to care too much about being p2w or whatever. The very nature of this event means it will heavily reward those who spend money on it but of course they keep the game alive so there's little choice but to provide events of this format in order to keep a paying player base.

The only part of Sky Arena that is P2W favorable is rank 1. I'm having fun, not spent a cent either.

IMO I see this as the next best way to get a really nice 5 star card or even 2 if you rank high enough. Its better than spending tons of gems and getting nothing. If you spend half of the gems you spend on stuff like ultima chests I'm sure you could rank in the top 499 and walk away with 1 or 2 5 stars. Really good 5 star cards as well.

A few of the top 500, about half I say will be f2p and get that high through grinding every two hours and maybe spending a few Gems they have.
I wish I could do that, an Angel Prime would be verrrry nice indeed.

This is actually an awesome event for everyone in this game. During 10 days we get guaranteed 540 gems and Kirin (fame rewards). If you have half of a brain you can farm 60k+ points per day without spending gems (all it takes is a Thalassa and some basic 4* cards). Plus there is extra chance to finish in the top2000 rankings for extra gems. Tons of freebies for all players, plus some nice cards for the players who paid money. Yes money solves most problems in this world, not only in video games. Edit: Just big LOL at people who just rant before actually doing some basic analysis. People should just make the best decision for their current team/deck rather than complaining mikhal getting stronger. I agree 100%. Awesome event for all players. Only one can be 1st but theres lots of good rewars for all players. You dont need op decks to do well and its the dedication that rewards you in the end. I mean everyone can reach 500k points without losing their beauty sleep which is nice 4* creature and almost 500 gems plus whatever you make from rank. For most players this should be considered as event to get free gems not event where you spend them Word of advice though. Unless you have plenty of gems to burn its better to save them to final day. I have a feeling that the race for Prime might get nasty

I checked how much time I had to next refresh and it bought scrolls for me! At main screen you can check and there will be prompt asking if you want to buy but there is another screen where you can check (maybe battle screen where you pick difficulty) and it didn't prompt at all and just took my gems. Be careful!!
