Hi!
Today's topic is what is the best line-up in K&D for Arena and Guild Wars. I got motivated by DK Aslan when I saw his Arena line-up, and we were discussing about it a while. So here I am today with best Arena set!
Making the line-up
Targets for line-up
Okay. We are making the line-up. We need to set our targets - our target is achieving best Elements combination, having the most powerful armors in it.
First armor in line-up
Going that way, we sure want the strongest armor in game. It is currently Sandstorm Platemail. But wait! Sandstorm Platemail can be easily countered, and can be double countered without making enemy countered as well. We need strong armor which counters its double counter. Second strongest Epic is currently Runic Robes, and it counters its double counter. So we can get Runic Robes+ into our perfect line-up.
Second armor in line-up
What now? We have Runic Robes as our first armor. If it is gonna die to its counter, because I don't think it's gonna die on first armor in other circumstances, then we need armor which will be the best against Runic Robes's counter. Runic Robes has 2 weaknesses: Water and Spirit. Water/Spirit armor would have two weaknesses, too. Those weaknesses are Air and Fire. But Water/Spirit armor counters Fire, so we can't have it. We have 2 options, then (I don't include monos, because monos are bad) - Air/Spirit and Air/Water. Air/Water is easily counterable like Sandstrom Platemail, so we need to use Air/Spirit armor. Currently, the strongest Air/Spirit armor is Specter's Shroud. We can say, that Specter's Shroud+ is second armor in our perfect line-up.
Last armor in line-up
Using the same method like in second armor part, we can determine third armor as well. Double counter for Beastmaster is Earth/Fire, and Spirit/Water counters it. But Spirit gets countered by Fire, so we need to have Water in third armor. We can have Water/Fire or Water/Earth then. Water/Fire is easily counterable too, so we need Water/Earth armor. It is Aquatic Platemail+.

If you are F2P player
If you are F2P player, then you propably don't have those Epics, and if you do, you don't have pluses. That's why I'm posting best setup with Epic Bosses+ armor. You can obviously use other armor, like Demon's Carapace+ instead of Voodoo Robes+. Just remember they need to have same Elements. You can search for best armors in game table on my blog (link here soon). Now, without further-ado, let's see best setup of Boss+ armors:
