A Couple Questions From Someone Who Mainly Plays Arena

  1. You are pretty much right on the money with all the items you mentioned. But Thebes is actually a really good item and is highly valuable, but not in Arena because of the stacks. You gain levels and gold fast enough in Arena that building the stacks is just too slow.

If you ever switch to Conquest it is a really strong item. Stacks are much easier/ more efficient to build in Conquest. A lot of supports/tanks will build it early.

  1. You are pretty much always going to want to build the T3. If you are buying more T1 items before completing the one you bought before you are handicapping yourself.

Multiple T1 will give you smaller boosts for multiple stats which will be less impactful. Building T3 will give a higher boost for specific stats which will make you more impactful.

It’s the same reasons why you would generally level up your strongest, best abilities first instead of leveling everything up equally.
