I don't have (neo) Valiant... yet (hard to obtain)... Would love one, but only because it looks fantastic.

But for tournaments I don't see missing it as a huge omission.

Against the higher opponents (16+) I almost always obediently follow the Battle Arena Calculator here.

Most of the time my pure lvl 15 champion and my lvl 15 Glasswing do the job.

My most used Arena athlete is my lvl 15 Gilded Knight.

With the pure champions is smart to lvl up the cheapest one (in apples) you've got, as I have the impression that there's hardly any difference between a rare or super rare champion. And those thousands of apples do add up...

For the real hard opponents, the lvl 17+ champions (pure and a few mixed like f.i. Congo), against which only a handful (officially) has a 25% chance of winning, I've lvl'd up a Diamond and a Neo Diamond.

But still often against 19/20 pure champions it might take more than a day to win, time you often don't have to spare in a 5/6 day tournament.

By mistake I fed my Dark dragon too much and it's now lvl 15. A "dumb luck" mistake, because this "simple" common dragon now wins against those lvl 19/20 dragons most of the time in just one or two attempts.

My 2 lvl15 (Neo) Diamonds I now mostly use against Diamond types.

TL;DR

My favourite set is (in order):

1 pure champion Gilded Knight

2 Glasswing

3 Dark (against highest Champions)

4 (Neo) Diamond

5 Black Diamond (some special cases)

With these I win almost all tournaments without any gold, and often 1 to 2 days before the deadline.
