Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross – How to Win in PvP

Player versus player, or PvP is an important feature in 7DS:GC. For some players, this is a fun thing to do on the side, but if you’re a serious player, you’ll want to climb the ladder. Success all depends on your game plan.

To win in PvP, make sure that you have the right team, and cook good food to eat.

What’s the difference between Normal and Elite arenas?

When you enter the Fight Festival, you’ll see that there are two kinds of arenas you can join. One is Normal and the other, Elite. Normal is basically Ungeared PvP, while Elite is Geared PvP.

Once you reach the Gold tier in Ungeared PvP, you’ll be able to challenge people in Geared PvP.

Ungeared PvP

Players will start off at Bronze 5 and will have to work their way up to Champion 1.

Generally, you’ll face off against players that are around your rank. Be aware that at lower ranks, you’ll likely be fighting against bots. These bots use other players’ names and teams. There are some signs of telling when an opponent is a bot:

  • They use an emote right before they begin their turn.
  • They use moves quickly in succession and then reset to choose different moves.
  • There is a bit more latency (input lag) than usual.

Gear stats are not applied in Ungeared PvP, but be aware that your heroes’ themselves can’t be weak! By now you should understand that the team with the higher CC (Combat Class) will go first in battle. You’ll want your heroes to have the highest CC possible to face off against other players.

How to increase CC in Ungeared PvP

To increase CC in Ungeared PvP, you’ll want to Awaken, Limit Break, and equip your best costumes to your heroes. You can register up to FIVE outfits, weapons, and cosmetic items each and these increase stats by quite a bit if you’ve got a full wardrobe. All of these stats are applied in Ungeared PvP.

Why should you PvP

You may ask, why go through the trouble and stress of climbing the ranks. Well, there are rewards for you to earn! Once you reach a certain tier, let’s say Gold 5, you’ll almost never drop below it, unless you never play or lose a lot. Reaching at least Champion 5 for Ungeared PvP is the goal you should be reaching for.

Ungeared PvP Rewards

At the start of the next week rewards are given out. This is typically on Monday (3 a.m. EST). The same goes for Geared PvP. Here’s a list of Ungeared PvP rewards you can receive for each tier.

Geared PvP

Players will start off at Gold 5 and fight for the title of Fight Festival Conqueror.

This arena is a whole ‘nother beast. You’re much more likely to be matched with a real person because of how the matchmaking system works. This might mean you’ll be facing off against opponents that are several ranks higher (or lower) than you.

In Geared PvP, you’ll have to rely on your equipment to carry you. All the stat bonuses on your gear are applied for your team and your opponents! This means if you’re not prepared, you’ll end up with a ton of losses.

How to win in PvP

Understand the meta

This is important for winning in PvP. If you see a lot of the same heroes over and over again, it means that hero is in the meta. Some examples of current meta heroes are Green Jericho, Blue Slader, Blue King, Blue Diane, Red Arthur, (Green) CS Ban. There are some more niche picks that are emerging like Red Merlin.

Teams like Blue King, Blue Diane, and Green Meliodas are really common (two of the three are free, and one is a popular reroll hero). This team is built for Ultimate Move destruction. The power both combined Ultimate Moves is what makes this team great.

There are teams that center around a nuker (massive single-target damage) as well. For instance, a Green Jericho, Blue King, Red Arthur team. This team’s focus is getting one target down as quickly as possible, perhaps in one turn, known as a 1tk (one turn kill).

For more on which teams are in the meta, check out our article on the best PvP teams.

Choose your targets wisely

If you go first, you’ll want to target the highest priority hero. This will vary between teams. For example, if the enemy team consists of Blue King, Blue Diane, and Green Meliodas, then you may want to target Blue Diane first, because of her potential damage.

Target weaker heroes. Taking our example from above, if you see that the enemy team’s Blue King is only Lv. 58, it may be an indication that he’s really weak. So, it might be a good idea to target him instead. Remember, the less heroes an opponent has the less moves they’ll get per turn.

Eat good food

Eating food may be the best way to win in PvP. Certain foods can give you a massive advantage. You should eat for Ultimate Move Gauge +1, or Attack 10% increase. These are generally the best two you should bring, however, you may want to experiment depending on your team composition.

It all depends

It really is difficult to explain each and every situation in PvP. You’ll have to go through an active learning process to achieve victory in the Fight Festival. Hopefully, you’ve learned something from this article and get to that higher rank!

Playing On PC

When it comes to playing Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross on the PC, check out BlueStacks. This is what we use to play all of our mobile games on a 60 fps no lag setup. BlueStacks lets you play multiple games at once with its ability to run multiple instances. 

Pro tip, use this when rerolling so that you can reroll a bunch of times at once instead of one at a time.

Games are a longtime passion of mine starting from childhood when my mother bought me my very own Gameboy Color. I’ve been gaming ever since. I’m a self-proclaimed jack of all trades, with what I consider a wide skill set ranging from programming to photography. As the saying goes, a master of none is oftentimes better than a master of one.
