4ARa Skill Erase Focused Arsenals

4ARb Level Erase Focused Arsenals

This arsenal will include the Nature school and usually has a mix of single use and infinite use skills. The idea is to try to win using a lot of attacks which also make your Memory Of Battle skill do a lot of damage as the match continues.  You don’t have to actually use an attack skill to add to the power of Memory of Battle, it just has to leave your hand. So you can pick up a skill to take the place of an attack in your hand which will then make your Memory of Battle stronger.  Any of your capsule attack skills erased from your spawn will not count towards Memory of Battle’s strength. They have to be picked up and leave your hand.  You can also use Scars of Battle to work just like Memory of Battle.  These arsenals require you to figure out how many single use and infinite use attacks you should put in this arsenal.  There are many approaches to Memory of Battle Arsenals.

Variety Approach - Using up several single use moves can get your Memory of Battle stronger.  Some skills to consider using may include things that break or erase shields.  Using some cheap but strong single use attacks like Vacuum Slash or Psycho Spear is another option.  A few other infinite use moves can still work well with Memory of Battle as well.

Auto Capture Approach- One of the quickest ways to boost Memory of Battle's strength  is to use a bunch of auto capture skills quickly(may be not even bothering to hit your opponent with them as they're used up) Auto capture skills automatically pick up your next skill when you use them.(even if there are no skills currently at your spawn point) The drawback to this approach is you put a heavier reliance on the power of Memory of Battle. Someone with an erase shield can take care of your Memory of Battle and you may not be left with much to do.  The 3 auto capture skills available are from the Ki school and are named Sky Pursuit, Hyper Punch, and Empty Hand.(up to 9 total to possibly use)

Unusual Memory of Battle Tag Strategy - One player on the team could carry little to no aura in their arsenal.  This means they can have more attacks than usual to really boost Memory of Battle's strength.  The way you get this player to use it is by having the other teammate boost the Memory of Battle players level with Optical moves like Boost Mine, Level Berserk, Level Baton, or Quantum Amp.

Other Drawbacks and Options - A good cartwheeler can dodge Memory of Battle pretty easily if they're ready, so you may want to use a stun move and then follow up with Memory of Battle.  You could also try boosting homing of Memory of Battle.   This arsenal can work as a good assistant in tag. As far as One on One goes, it has the potential to do well, but connecting Memory of Battle will be harder against a cartwheeler.

Recall/Relearn and Memory of Battle -  Any attacks you Recall or Relearn will take away from the power of Memory of Battle until that skill is unequipped again.  If the Recalled skill is erased from your spawn you can never have it count towards Memory of Battle's strength.  

Anti Memory of Battle - You can play the environmentals Athena's Command or Forest Sanctuary to stop a Memory of Battle from being useable.  

The opposite of Memory of Battle, the attack Compressor relies on using up shields to boost its strength.(Getting rid of shields from your hand also boosts Compressor's strength)  There are one time use shields with useful effects like erase effects, life boosting effects, freezing effects,  reflecting effects, and paralyzing effects that can help you use up your shields in a helpful way.  There is also the shield Learning which can put a move it blocks into your hand if the projectile shot doesn't do enough damage to break Learning.  Your teammate in tag could help you in this by shooting at you an attack/projectile you want.   With Learning you can get your Compressor charged up and get a new move.  Perhaps the greatest strength in Compressor comes from erasing many attacks that your opponent uses.  Like Memory of Battle, Compressor is pretty easy to cartwheel out of.(hits jumpers though)  It's usually a bad idea to have Compressor as your only attack because it can always be erased, but since a lot of your time will be spent erasing and delaying an opponent’s offense with shields you won’t have too many attacks in here either.

Wait Them Out or Attack the Opponent with Less Defenses - Sometimes it's best not to go on the offensive against a person with a bunch of shields like you’ll find against Compressor arsenals.  Instead you can force them to pick up more stuff.(just wait out the match) In tag you could opt to go after the teammate of a Compressor arsenal who has less defenses instead of risking getting your attacks erased so easily by someone with many shields. 

Shooting Through Compressor Players - In tag, shields can not block non exploding projectiles that are targeting a different player.(these projectiles will go through players that aren't meant to be the target).  This means you can freely shoot projectiles at an opponent teammate who doesn't have any shields.  The Compressor teammate with a bunch of shields can't protect their partner from most ranged moves.  You have to lock on to the defenseless teammate to have projectiles go through a Compressor user's shields.  Manually aimed attacks can be blocked by the Compressor player.  They can also block explosions those moves create.(potentially erasing that move)

Blocking for a Teammate - Shields can erase short range, Move,(probably...) or Mine / Explosion type attacks that were locked onto someone else in Tag.  

Coordination - 2 Compressor arsenals working together might be pretty powerful. 

Tired of Waiting - Erasing a compressor arsenal’s capsules can be effective if the opponent is just sitting around with 4 shields in hand. Recall and Capsule erasing arsenals can be difficult for Compressor’s to deal with. Turbulence or Wind Pressure can help weaken Erasing or Recalling arsenals. 

Keepers and Stopping Some of Them- Reincarnation and other locked/retain skill attacks can be good to use against Compressor arsenals to force them to waste an erase shield.(make sure you have 6 aura to retain Reincarnation). Using Necronomicon can at least stop Reincarnation and Arrow of Artemis from retaining themselves.  Frostbite is technically another possible but difficult option to use to stop Lock/Retain moves.  

Freeze Shot Glitch - Freeze shot fired by someone with attack strength buffs is also an option against heavily shielded Compressor players.(it can’t be erased by shields) 

Stunners - Status/Special moves that stun can also be used against heavily shielded people without much risk.  Glacial Wall or Paralyze Barrier could punish stun users though.  

Get Rid of Shields - Shield Erasers can be good against Compressor arsenals too.(Dragon Slayer, Shield Slayer, Judge of Ares, Lost Dragon, technically Lack among other erase moves) There are also several attack skills in Nature and Ki School that erase shields if you hit an opponent with it.(Lightning Sword for example)   

Besides these tactics you can try to manually aim attacks away from a person’s shield to fake them out so they don’t erase your attack. Running up to someone and doing moves like Tiger’s Strength or even purify can trick a person into using a shield they have and then you can follow up with an attack while their completing the shield animation.(following up after a purify is not possible but you can waste their one time use shields) If you are faked out try to mash the shield button to try block again quickly, you might be able to get the shield up quick enough to block.  If someone doesn’t have enough aura to use a shield again it’s a great chance to strike them. Because of this, level erasing can be another good tactic.(Vicious Balance, Quantum Decay) See the shields section for more on dealing with shields.  If worse comes to worse you can wait for people with Compressors to attack and then counter attack with your own attack.

Recall and Relearn - Any shields you Recall or Relearn will take away from Compressor’s power.(until the shield leaves your hand again)  Any shields erased from your spawn point don’t count towards Compressor’s power. You don’t actually have to use shields to add to the power of compressor, you just have to pick it up and have it unequip from your hand.  

Unusual Compressor  Tag Strategy - One player on the team could carry little to no aura in their arsenal.  This means they can have more shields than usual to really boost Compressor's strength.  The way you get this player to be able to use Compressor is by having the other teammate boost the Compressor user's level with Optical moves like Boost Mine, Level Berserk, Level Baton, or Quantum Amp.

Anti Compressor - The environmentals Athena's Command or Forest Sanctuary can stop a Compressor from being usable.

3AR Capsule Eraser Arsenals

These arsenals try to erase your opponents' capsules down to 0 so that they will die from it.(you lose 1 life every few seconds when there are 0 skills left in your arsenal) Oftentimes these arsenals carry a good amount of erase shields to keep pressure off them. While just about any arsenal can use Diabolical Trick, these arsenals can make extensive use of capsule erasing/altering skills like Violent Change,  Particle Convert, Evaporate, and Change the World. Recall and Relearn are often a big part of these when using multiple capsule erasing/altering moves. These arsenals can be a pretty good defense against Memory Lapse arsenals when using Recall. 

The Triple Team - Be careful about erasing opponents in Battle Royale, you can often be triple teamed for it, so sometimes it's best to sit back and let people use up their skills till you think you can get away with some capsule erasing. If players see a lot of purple in your hand or know that your Recalling without really doing anything to anyone they can become suspicious of you. Whether you intend to use Accelerate to speed up erasing or not, people usually think you're going to erase them when you play it and it can encourage them to triple team. 

Erase from Anywhere - One neat thing I saw a Recall Violent change arsenal do was the player raised their speed to high levels and kept Calling their capsules with Call with Accelerate down as well. They basically out ran the opponent and hid behind stuff while freely picking up new capsules and eventually erasing the opponent to death. 

Things to Mess with Capsule Erasers - One tactic that can mess with capsule erasing players relying on Recall is to keep their level below 10.  A good offense can also overwhelm opponents not well equipped to defend. If your opponent has no attacks you can basically wait around for them to use something like Violent Change and attack in reaction.  Reincarnation is a solid attack to deal with this.  It’s really a good idea for capsule erasers to have a few attacks anyway, as a deterrent. 

Erase Back - You can also fight back against people who intend to erase your own capsules by bringing your own capsule erasers, like Diabolical Trick.  If you have a higher skill count while doing this, you can discourage players from staying at your spawn to delete capsules, as you can finish them off before they can finish you.  

Punishing Capsule Pickups - Soul Cage can be used to mess with opponents who just keep picking up the capsule you're going to erase.(they take damage for picking them up)  

Crippling Environmentals to help Capsule Erasing - An arsenal that floats Reduce Entropy can shut down a lot of arsenals.  Combine Reduce Entropy with Shatter and Eliminate and you can end up erasing a lot of a person's capsules while Reduce Entropy is out.  Forest Sanctuary can also help make things easier for capsule erasing arsenals.  

Recall - Check out the Relearn Recall Recollection arsenal section in the listings for ideas on how set up Recall arsenals with multi capsule erasing skills.  Also read the Bravery Decision arsenal section as that will tie into your possibilities with Recall.

These arsenals pack a lot of skills that erase other skills. Some combinations of skills that work well together are Lack and Heat from the Void or Vacuum Palm. 

Anti Erase - Some of the best ways of dealing with erase arsenals are to use Orb or Amulet. The environmental Commandments can buy you time as well. 

Fighting against Orb and Amulet 

1.  Using the environmental Chaos will ensure you get past Orb and Amulet. If Orb is the only real problem you can use the anti environmental Stagnant Air.(conveniently in the Ki school where many skill erasers are found)  

2.  Any effects that freeze an opponent’s buttons also works in stopping Orb or Amulet.  

3.  You can use the Nature or Ki based erase attacks in skill erase arsenals.(Storm Blade, Lightning Sword, Dragon Punch, Tiger Kick) Orb and Amulet can't stop their erase effects as they are considered attack skills .  

Level Erasing As A Way To  Get Rid of Opponent's Skills - Even though much of the focus on skill erasing is about getting rid of opponents' skills, using moves that reduce a person's level can also be useful.(like Exhaust)  If you have an opponent with a higher level, then they can hold on to aura particles to reduce Heat From Void's damage.  If they need more Level for other things, then naturally they will feel a need to use aura particles causing your Heat from Void to get powered up.  They could also overwrite skills to try to get more aura, doing the skill erasing for you. 

Erase Shields - Using erase shields may be more effective than always going for a direct erase move.  

Capsule Erasers - Although it may not be a focus of the arsenal, capsule erasing skills can be considered a way to indirectly erase moves from players.  

Anti Dragon Slayer - Course shields are the only shield type that can stop Dragon Slayer which can often combo with other erase moves.  

Holding onto Aura Particles - If you hold onto Aura Particles you can use them as protection against Heat From Void and Vacuum Palm.  They can also make Disremember choose to erase them first instead of more useful higher cost skills. 

Level Erase Based arsenals have some similarities  to Skill Erase Based arsenals and therefore the same strengths and weaknesses apply.  However, Level Based Erase arsenals have 2 very powerful Hit All skills known as Quantum Decay and Vicious Balance.  

Vicious Balance Arsenals - They often use mostly low cost skills. It's helpful to have a skill that lowers your level in it like Rebirth, Mist Blade, Mist Laser or Downcast in case someone Level Berserks or Quantum Amps you, or you accidentally use extra aura particles. 

Signs of Vicious Balance - If you notice your opponent has a purple skill and only has 2 Level and isn’t really doing anything else, there’s a good chance that he’s waiting to use Vicious Balance. If he’s holding on to aura particles or not actually gaining level with them he’s probably also using it. If the opponent doesn’t have a lot of Level and keeps using skills that lower their level that is another sign that Vicious Balance could be in your opponent's arsenal.  

2 or Less - Some attacks that require you to have 2 or less aura can fit well in Vicious Balance arsenals. (Swift Punch, Swift Blow, Swift Kick)

Quantum Decay Arsenals -  You may also see a Quantum Decay arsenal using similar tactics in not doing anything and not picking up much aura. Quantum Decay arsenals may also use Level Boost or Level Berserk from a teammate to make up for the amount of Level they lose from Quantum Decay. 

Knocked Out Teammate Strategy - If your teammate is knocked out they will not be affected by Hit All erase moves.  

Combining Level Erase Moves - Quantum Decay and Vicious Balance can obviously be used together in arsenals.(As well as other erase moves)

The Waiting Game - Aside from Orb/Amulet, you can wait or hold on to aura particles to not be affected as badly from level erase when it's done. 

Anti Bloody Vicious - Chaos will wreck many Vicious Balance arsenals because skills that cost 2 or less can’t be used.(putting a Crush or Return to Nature in your Vicious Balance arsenal is recommended to deal with Chaos)  Chaos also stops the use of Faith's other main level erase move, Bloody Ritual.

Optimization And Level Erase - This environmental can make much level erasing insignificant and it is recommended to take them down when trying to erase level.  However, Optimization can help if you want to repeatedly use Restrain on someone to lower their level.(The stun effect of the move allows you to repeatedly Restrain an opponent who's already hit)  Taking down Optimization afterwards though is necessary to make your opponent suffer from losing so much level.  

Punishing Stallers - If you're playing an opponent who is being conservative about picking up aura at their spawn you can take advantage of this with the hit all erase skill Meltdown.  If someone leaves 3 Aura Particles at their spawn and you do Meltdown and then Relearn it, you can bring someone from as high as level 12 down to level 0.  

Freezing and Level Erase -  There are several level erase based moves in Optical and Faith to lower level.  Having freezing moves can help Level Erase succeed against players holding Orb or Amulet.  

Attack Level Erasers- There are 2 Faith attack moves called Song of Succubus and Succubus Tempt that erase level which can't be stopped by Orb or Amulet.  However, their accuracy is terrible and they need decent strength buffing to be worth considering.(Trance and Lunar Force can help do this)  The level you can gain from these skills can combo well with Restrain.

Alternative to Faith and Optical - Optical and Faith are the main schools with level erase moves.  Additionally you could use Ki's skill Exhaust for other level erasing.

Greedy Spirit against Orb/Amulet and Retain Skills like Reincarnation, Photon Barrier, and Arrow of Artemis - This move can shortly reduce opponents hit by it down to 0 aura, enabling Erase moves to work against Amulet, Orb, and retain skill users.  You have to be very quick with the timing of this though.  

These are arsenals play more of a supportive role in combat, perfect for tag. They involve using moves that help your teammate out which can include moves like Friendship, Alleviate, and Level Berserk. You can use Doppleganger to copy the stat boosts you gave to a teammate. Another approach is to serve as more of a distraction, such as going invisible and firing Decoy at your opponents while you're teammate goes after your disoriented opponent. Decoy by itself will work fine too. Other stun moves like Dazzle and Paralyze can fit well here. Annoying gifting good skills to a teammate or bad ones to opponents are other potential routes you can follow.  An arsenal using Reincarnation can also let you play supportively.  The accuracy of Reincarnation tends to force a player to make a dodge maneuver or to block it.  Since Reincarnation is hard to erase, it can provide good pressure support for your teammate and last a long time.  

6AR Dance of Death, Crystallization, Bundled Blaster, and Bundled Laser Arsenals

These skills do X damage based on the combined strength of a certain type of attack skills you have equipped.  (Things like Ki close range attacks for Dance of Death, "Piece" moves for Crystallization, etc.) Basically you’ll want to pick moves that make these skills powerful. Dance of Death and 3 swift blows(for 21 damage) or Bundled Blaster and 3 Vibration Blasters for 18 damage.  Some of these styles are easier to use than others. Being invisible or having a distracted opponent can make something like Dance of Death easier to pull off.  Speed boosts can help too.  You could consider the skill Commandments to protect against erase moves as you could be running around without shields while using these moves. Mephisto’s Pact can make picking the most powerful attacks to go with your skill easier.(Relearning Mephisto's Pact can combine with that as well)  The biggest weaknesses of Dance of Death arsenals are that it is not the hardest skill to dodge in the world.(doing it from far close range is more effective though.) While Bundled Blaster and Laser have good accuracy they can be harder to set up and are one time use.(Bundled Laser is rather hard to justify)  A Bundled Blaster doing 18 damage is very powerful and punishing.  Crystallization is decent for accuracy, but can be reasonably cartwheeled.(jumpers can’t dodge it) 

Issues -  The biggest drawback to all these types are that for them to be at their most powerful you can’t have any defensive moves in your hand. This leaves you open to all sorts of erase and attack moves if you decide to make these X attacks as powerful as possible. Whether you choose a cartwheeler or jumper you will still have some attack types that you're weaker against and will be open without defenses equipped. Sometimes you can’t do a whole lot besides use the main move in the arsenal. On the plus side you can have good start up times for some powerful moves.  It could be worth considering using just 2 moves to combine with these X moves.  A Dance of Death doing 10 damage is still great damage and a second hit of it will finish off an opponent.  If you go for the 21 damage version of Dance of Death with 3 Swift Blows you lose any defensive options besides speed boosts. 

Some Interesting Setups and Numbers 

Crystallization

1.  Crystallization and 3 Pieces of Fires - Will let Crystallization do 9 damage.  Breaks any shield.

2.  Crystallization and 2 Piece of Fires - This will give you a medium range Nature skill with damage comparable to other big damage projectiles in other schools like Fire of Gehenna, Vibration Blaster, Rail Gun, and Heat from Void.  Add Heats or a Stimulus  to your arsenal and you can continue to compete with the other skills'  high damage levels.  The main alternative to Crystallization in Nature is Memory of Battle.(which is more flexible since you only need to have one Memory of Battle in hand for it to be used for big damage)  Compared to Memory of Battle, Crystallization shoots out faster and can be shot while in the sky.  

3.  Crystallization + Piece Attack Skill that erases something on your target + Other Pieces - You can stun an opponent with a Piece move that erases something on an opponent, and follow up with Crystallization.(Crystallization is weakened afterwards though) 

Dance of Death

1.  Dance of Death + 3 Swift Blows - At 21 damage, a guaranteed kill in Standard mode.

2.  Dance of Death + 1 Swift Blow- Gives Ki a guaranteed 7 Damage infinite use short range move while still allowing the use of other skills.(Breaks all but 2 shields in the game.  Main infinite use big damage close range alternatives to Dance of Death in Ki school are Aura Backflow, and Vacuum Palm to a lesser extent.  Dance of Death's damage numbers are more reliable in this setup.(but requires holding 2 skills.)

3.  Dance of Death + Pursuit / Sky Pursuit - You can hold onto just the skill Pursuit/Sky Pursuit to count as close range melee moves to add to Dance of Death's strength.  If you got 7-8 aura and one Dance of Death and Pursuit you can basically do 6 damage when you connect Dance of Death.(3 for hitting and then another 3 for damaging them with Pursuit while opponent is downed)

4.  Dance of Death + Swift Blow + Pursuit / Sky Pursuit - Big 10-13 Damage set up.  Allows one other move to be used with it

5.  Dance of Death + 2 Swift Blows + Pursuit / Sky Pursuit - Can do 20 Damage.  2 Swift Blows and Pursuit give you a 17 damage Dance of Death.  Follow up with Pursuit / Sky Pursuit to do 20 damage.   

6.  Dance of Death, 2 Swift Blows + Splashdown +1 extra attack power = 20 damage 

1.  Bundled Blaster + 3 Vibration Blasters - 18 damage.  That's a lot.

2.  Bundled Blaster + 2 Vibration Blasters - 12 Damage to break any shield.

3.  Bundled Blaster + 1 Vibration Blaster + Blaster/Mist Blaster- 10 Damage to break any shield.

4.  Bundled Blaster + 2 Blasters/Mist Blasters - 8 Damage to break any shield except Psychic Wall.

Single School Benefit - High Powered Bundled Blasters are one of the few ways Optical School can break high defense shields.  

Bundled Laser

1.  Bundled Laser + 3 Vibration Lasers/Mist Lasers - 9 Damage.  Can break any shield.

3.  Bundled Laser + 1 Vibration Laser / Mist Laser + Slide/Twist Laser - Breaks any projectile erase shield to let your Lasers follow up safely.   

Low Cost Single school power move - Maybe there is some use in a Single School Optical looking to stay low cost while avoiding using many Blasters.

7AR Zero Cost Arsenals

These arsenals have 0 or X cost skills only, needing no aura. Trance and Rebirth will help you greatly. This arsenal can have trouble with shields as most 0 cost moves besides Agonies of Death can be blocked/erased easily. The greatest asset is that level erasing means squat to you and you don’t have to worry about being aura screwed at start.(can still get bad hands of course) This can work pretty well in tag especially if paired with a teammate's Vicious Balance arsenal.(it will drop everyone else to 0 level)  Since aura regen will mean almost nothing to you, you should go with a 3 school arsenal case.

Get your level up to 10 or more to use powerful attacks that require 10 or more Level to use.(Vibration Laser and Vibration Blaster) The biggest downside is getting and staying at Level 10. Orb or Amulet could be useful in this arsenal. You may also notice that certain moves like Laser and Blaster with a Tiger’s strength look almost as good as their vibration versions. Still, you can walk out of Laser much more easily  than Vibration Laser which often requires jumping or cartwheeling to dodge. If you Tiger's Strength the Vibration moves you'll do 5 damage with Vibration Laser which will knock down opponents in one hit. Having an 8 damage strength Vibration Blaster can really hurt your opponent and break any shield in the game besides Psychic Wall. 

 It may be tempting to use Vibration Laser with Optimization to make it cost 0, but you can make it easier for people to block many attacks since defense is cheap with Optimization out.  Some people will opt for Optimization if they are using lots of Heats or Stimulates as the aura regen can otherwise make Vibration Laser use slower.(I'm talking about 7+ damage Vibration Laser strategies)  Another mix up tactic that might work more easily with Optimization is to alternate using Triple Laser with Vibration Laser.  This can make dodging timing difficult for jumpers.

El Bomb combined with Vibration Blaster can throw opponents off with the similar animations but you need lots of Level to keep it going.  Level Amps, Quantum Amps and Boost Mines with Level Boost or Level Berserk can help get you up to and stay at 10 Level more easily.  Using 3+ Level Amp/Boost Mine moves can help get your Level up quicker.  You may find yourself getting away with just having 12 aura in these arsenals.  In those kinds of setups you try to actively make sure your starting hand has 3 aura by using the back button to reshuffle when it doesn't seem you'll get 3 aura.  (If you can pull that off things will go more smoothly with aura boosting skills)  If you and a teammate carry Level Berserks, they are probably the easiest and quickest way to boost level.  (Though you might have to go out of your way to target each other)

9AR Blazing Arsenals

They have at least some Nature skills that require 15 or more life to use. Blazing Sword, Blazing Bullet, and Blazing Storm are your choices.  These skills are strong and inexpensive. The biggest weakness is keeping your self at 15 life. Healing moves and life gaining attacks work well here. Erase or strong defense shields help keep you up on life. These work best jumping the gun on an opponent before they're truly ready. It's wise to have a few other moves besides Blazing attacks.  You can use moves like Vampire Bats, Life Giving Sword, Rafflessia Fang and Digestion to gain back life as an alternative to the status moves that heal. (Nature, Ki, and Faith each have moves for gaining life.)  While these arsenals have a pressuring quality to them, you need to be careful not to get hurt too much to keep using Blazing moves.  Sometimes just getting opponents using Blazing moves below 15 life can turn the match around for you.  

10AR Floating Environmental Arsenals (Every Environmental Based arsenal concept is covered here.  If you want to jump ahead to the next non-Environmental arsenal types covered Click here)

These arsenals can greatly benefit from having an environmental out especially if it is floating so it can’t be grabbed. Carrying Orb will make it very hard for the environmental to be erased.(except Chaos and Stagnant Air's case)  Freezing someone before you erase their environmental is a useful tactic in stopping Orb.  Greedy Spirit can also be used to knock players down to 0 aura so your environmental erase can go through.  (timing is hard though as hit player can regenerate aura fairly quick)

Environmental Floating Strategies

Depending on your arsenal you can be severely hurt by someone using these moves.  Some Environmental floating arsenals' greatest strength is that they can cripple many arsenals and there are few things some arsenals can do when an Environmental is "permanently" down. Floating Environmental arsenals are usually designed to get around the penalties of the environmental they play.

Having an anti environmental skill like Judgment is very useful in dealing with these arsenals. Mephisto's Pact in an arsenal with an anti environmental like Judgment can serve as being like 2 Judgments to a certain degree.  You can use Mephisto's Pact when you really need that one Judgment or use it to get a more useful skill if your opponent isn't running environmentals.  A quick rush is sometimes enough to stop these arsenals from winning. They are often much less effective without their environmental out.  Also destroying places one can float an Environmental can make things just hard enough that you can defeat or greatly weaken your opponent before they get their environmental floated.  If you are playing at the Lane stage there is a platform you can only reach using a Special Jump Skill.  Check out the Sein level section run down to see the patterns of how the platforms break allowing you to float Environmentals there.  See the floating environmentals section on more ways to thwart floating environmentals.

Some Environmentals play a supportive role like Lunar Force or Holy Ray boosting or reducing people's stats a little more.  Some are much more dramatic in what they change.  Note that you don't always have to float environmentals to get the most out of them.  Some arsenals may benefit more from having an environmental out for only a limited time.  Below are some of the strategies built around floated environmentals as well as uses of them in general.  

Memory Lapse - use Reincarnation type retain moves or lock moves like Sign of Saints.  To a certain degree, Recall can help fight against Memory Lapse.  Be careful when you use your now single use skills.  If players do not have retain skills or Recalls, they will slowly run you out of things they can do.  Memory Lapse can be used offensively or as a way to help erase capsules by forcing players to use up more skills.  This is the hardest environmental to erase when the opponent has Orb as Memory Lapse makes any anti environmental skill into a single use move which Orb can protect from for 2 aura.  

Forest Sanctuary Damage Tricks- Skills that shoot out multiple individual attacks like Triple Laser can get around the 3 damage restriction.  If you have +2 strength, all 3 of your lasers will do 3 damage each.  If someone blocks all 3 you can basically destroy any shield in the game.  Other moves that can get around these restrictions are Double Laser, Octolaser, Ricochet Laser, and Ground Laser.  

Lunar Force - A useful and practical attack buffer.  It can be combined with other moves like Trance, Tiger's Strength, Heat etc..  Very useful for racking up big damage with Faith, especially when using life losing moves.  As a bonus, anyone who ha s a positive or negative attack rating from Lunar Force can be stunned with Armaros Watch which is in the same school as Lunar Force.(Almost like giving Faith a Dazzle like stun move)  On the other hand opponents can benefit from Lunar Force too.  You'll need to think about how tough the shields are that you will use. Fire of Gehenna combined with Trance and Lunar Force can break any shield in the game.  (9 damage)

Mephisto's Pact Exceptions/Strategies - An alternative to putting in some Relearns is to have some Mephisto's Pacts used.  An arsenal with 3 Recalls and 1 Relearn with 2 Mephisto's Pacts can manage to last an entire match if you use Mephisto's Pacts to repeatedly Recall/Relearn things sooner.  Having some healing move in the arsenal or using something like Nature's Blessing can make up for the life lost from using Mephisto's Pacts.  

Acceleration - This environmental can be useful with Recall since you will be cycling through a lot of skills in your arsenal.  

How Relearning a Recall Works - If you use a Recall and then Relearn it, you're arsenal treats that as being the same Recall that was just used.  So your Relearned Recall can't Recall the Recall that was just Relearned. (I know this is a confusing sentence)  To try to simplify, you can't Recall a Recall unless a different Recall is used.  A Relearned Recall is considered to be the same Recall that was just used.  So you won't Recall an additional one when using the Relearned Recall.  

Relearn and Recall Tips:  You have 10 Level and there are 3 aura particles at your spawn point and you have only a Recall in your hand.  Getting a Relearn would be helpful because you want to Recall again right now.  However, you really want to use the Recall in your hand right now to keep pace with the match.  So you use Recall and then pick up the 3 aura capsules.  Pick them up, but do not use them to gain level like you might usually do.  Instead, hold on to them and see if one of your next 3 capsules spawning might be a Relearn.  If a Relearn shows up you can pick it up on your empty skill slot button and Relearn the Recall you previously used.  So you have used Relearn and now have Recall in your hand again.  You still have not used those other 3 aura particles in your hand.  Unless you have Recalled almost your entire arsenal, you may be better off using your relearned Recall again before using the aura particles in your hand.  If you use Recall again before using any of the aura particles in your hand, you have a greater chance of Recalling capsules that aren't just aura particles.  You may actually want to be able to Recall those aura particles.  If you do then use them first to gain Level and then use your Recall.  More often than not you will prefer being more likely to want to Recall skill capsules instead of aura capsules.  If you have Recalled mostly everything already, you may want to hold off on using the Recall you Relearned until you use up some skill particles you want to reuse.(to increase your chances of getting useful capsules when using Recall)  While true you also need to be careful to keep some Recalls going as it is possible for players to erase that Recall from your hand with something like Turbulence.  If too many Recalls/Relearns get erased like this, you may find yourself unable to continually Recall skills.  

Recall arsenals can take more practice in learning to use well - It can take longer than usual to get the hang of Recall arsenals as you try to figure out where to use your Relearn and Recalls among other things.  

Change the World Warning - Change the World is a bad skill to use on your own capsules.  The problem is the skill doesn't work the way it says it does.  Change the World actually reshuffles the capsules at your spawn back into your arsenal.  Then 3 RANDOM moves are removed from your arsenal.(or whatever amount of capsules you have changed on the field)  Then 3 random moves left in your arsenal are respawned.  This is bad because you could randomly lose your most important skills.  If you use Change The World to get rid of 3 aura particles at your spawn, you might end up getting rid of 3 Recalls from your arsenal instead!  The only time you would probably try Change the World on your own capsules is if you're desperate or really want to try your luck.  In a way this move may be the best one to use against opponents who try to just leave less desired skills at their spawn for you to erase.  This skill takes away their ability to do so.  Keep in mind Change the World can't change or erase the last 3 capsules in someone's spawn.   Using it with Particle Convert, Change the World could potentially fill someone's arsenal with more aura particles. Because the Particle Converted capsules you changed into aura get reshuffled into your opponent's arsenal.  Then they may randomly be removed from the arsenal, or something else may get  randomly deleted instead, leaving your opponent's arsenal with the aura particles.

Violent Change is often the most practical and effective multi capsule erasing skill.  

This could be a very powerful and crippling tag arsenal but I have not seen it successfully used in practice. I’ve only had a few cracks at the idea and it will take some skill between partners in setting it up continually. The basic idea is to Annoying Gift Chill Breeze and Neutralization to a teammate over and over. The loop is done in the following steps:  

1.  You Annoying Gift your teammate Chill Breeze and Neutralization.  

2.  Your teammate casts Chill Breeze, you shoot Neutralization just before Chill Breeze takes affect so your teammate becomes unfrozen. 

3.  Your teammate then shoots you with Neutralization to unfreeze you.  

4..  You Annoying Gift Chill Breeze again all the while your opponents' are still frozen. This can be done infinitely, freezing opponents the whole time.  

The tricky part is using a skill guaranteed to hurt your opponents in the small amount of time you have before you need to freeze them again. If you use Mephisto's Pact and several copies of the skills needed, you can get a very fast start up time.  Before doing anything else you should set the Chill Breeze Loop up and worry about getting other key skills after you started freezing opponents infinitely.  

Ways to stop:  Opponents might be able to counter this trick by running into Annoying Gift and getting their own Neutralization or attacking the gifter every time he tries to use Annoying Gift or Neutralize. You might be able block teammates gifting each other by running in between the 2 players.  I don't know if this works as I haven't seen it done.  Opponents can't run into Neutralization though because if you use a lock on shot on a teammate it will go right through the opponents.(that's just how it works online but not in the original Single Player mode)  

Anti Freeze Options - You can try using Purify or Refresh right after Chill Breeze is about to be cast.  If timed right these skills will cancel the freeze effect from lasting or from effecting you.  You can also bring your own Neutralization.  There are some other unfreezing moves that you might benefit from.(Like Return to Nature)

Demonstration: Here's a video showing how the loop works. You'll see both players get frozen and how the Neutralization is timed to unfreeze the team.  (Note you don't need Optimization to have the loop run infinitely.  You need Optimization to use other skills in many setups while freezing infinitely.  When using Optimization, you need a 2 school case because without it, it might not be possible to put Optimization out and have enough time and aura to still keep your opponents frozen once the loop is started.  You only get about 6-7 aura to work with while opponents are frozen.  Here's a video demoing how you freeze and unfreeze repeatedly:

To review, you will need someone to Annoying Gift, Chill Breeze, Neutralization and the Missing Ingredient.(the one skill to help you win)  Here are some ideas and drawbacks / explanations.   Most setups will only have about 6-7 aura needed to work with.  It only takes 4 aura to freeze infinitely but you'll need more than that in most cases to actually start hurting your opponent. Some attempted ideas:

Annoying Gift the skill Abyss - This one doesn't work.  You would have your teammate delete every opponent capsule with it.  This would be the perfect skill for the job as it could set up in the first spawn of the match.   The problem is it takes way too long to erase each capsule before a match ends in a draw.(It could have worked if matches were still 15 minutes, but they're only 10 now)  If it were possible to erase everything in time, it would be hands down the best and quickest set up for the arsenal.  

Annoying Gift the skill Change the World, have teammate finish with Diabolical Trick - In order to do this you have to use Change the World correctly.  One player gifts Change the World with Chill Breeze and Neutralization.  The partner must use a 2 school Faith Optical arsenal that has Optimization(which you float) and Diabolical Trick in it.(the rest can be anything else)  You need a 2 School Arsenal for a teammate to cast Optimization and then regenerate 2 aura quick enough for Chill Breeze to come out in time to maintain the freeze loop.  Diabolical Trick is placed in the slot where the teammate's Annoying Gift slot is.(this stops it from being overwritten)  Once the teammate has Diabolical Trick, your team can quickly Change the World between each Chill Breeze Loop.  When opponents are down to 3 capsules, you Diabolical Trick each of them.  Before using Change the World make sure that the teammate who needs Diabolical Trick picks up their skills because Change the World actually reshuffles your spawn back into your arsenal, then Change the World randomly erases 3 skills in the arsenal and puts 3 random skills at your spawn.  Since its random you could delete your Diabolical Tricks and not ever pick one up.  Once you have Diabolical Trick, you can Change the World as much as you want and you won't be able to over erase you or your teammate by accident because Change the World doesn't get rid of the last 3 capsules.  Once opponents are down to 3 capsules, just finish each opponent off by Diabolical Tricking their 3 remaining skills. You technically could make a configuration with Violent Change, but this set up is quicker and reduces the amount of Diabolical Tricking you might need to do to get ahead of the other team's capsule count when using Violent Change. Another alternative to Diabolical Trick is Recall + Violent Change but it is also more complicated and not as good.  

Annoying Gift the skill Graceful Woods - This opens up a world of new possibilities.  Previously Optimization was required to get costly things done.  Now your teammate can have as much aura as they need to do something.  One idea is to go for Violent Change and Recall again without needing Optimization this time.(It probably isn't as good as the Change the World set up mentioned above)  You may have to do some more individual Diabolical Tricking to get ahead of opponent skill count.  To win, you have to rely entirely on the arsenal of the player receiving Graceful Woods.  

Giga Ruin + Still Moment ? - One alternate scheme was to use Still Moment and Giga Ruins with Recall.  It would lock your opponents in place without a shield to block Giga Ruin. Unfortunately cartwheelers can still cartwheel enough to dodge when Still Moment is used.  Jumpers can stop Still Moment comboing into Giga Ruin it by staying close to the Giga Ruin shooter and jumping when Still Moment occurs. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out a better scheme than Violent Changes followed by Diabolical Trick as needed.(for the Graceful Woods scheme)  But Graceful Woods is a new idea which you may be able to figure out something else to win with.  Perhaps a new skill will be made to fully realize Graceful Woods potential in this setup.  You could certainly annoy people who don't figure out how to get past Still Moment and Giga Ruin.  

Annoying Gift Agonies of Death - Agonies of Death goes through anything and can be tough to dodge and costs 0.  This might work at smaller levels but it takes really good coordination and can get confusing in figuring out ways to lower life to the correct level.  Opponents might be able to just run from Agonies or stay too close for the shooter to hit.  Still it might work.  You'll need practice as it can get confusing switching between your teammate and opponent and then Chill Breezing in time.  This does not require Optimization to work either.  If you can pull this off, it's the absolute best setup that can work because your teammate can carry the same exact arsenals making your chances of setting up the Chill Breeze loop higher than the alternative ideas listed.  (Besides the failed Abyss scenario)

A lot of arsenals are listed but there are other possibilities which can be based around certain themes. Skills that use mixed speed attacks, use only crawlers, only blades, rain etc. etc. Try to put moves together that complement each other. Ex. Joke of Anubis with moves that keep your life higher than your opponent. The combos sections and "All the other things you didn’t know about in Phantom Dust" sections could help you come up with more ideas for arsenal concepts.
