I have 6 Diamonds, a Mercury, a Gold, a Crusader, and two Quetzals. It doesn't make a difference against those level 18 and 20 Champion types. I'm not gonna win this round without spending Gold.

It's true that in the past, the tournaments were extremely easy for people who had Diamond types (the first few were a cakewalk). Since they introduced Champion types, though, those high level ones require just luck, pretty much. You have the same chance of beating them with a level 1 triple type (which is super weak against Champions) as you do with the rarest Diamonds.

Having a ton of rare dragons of different types does indeed help (for the other fights), but it doesn't guarantee a win. Some lucky people will be done with the tournament on the first few days. Others, like me, will struggle with the annoying Champion types until the end. I haven't been able to win the past four tournaments without Gold.
