I also notice the higher opponents I face, the worse my team's AI gets. Is there any way I can get higher? Right now I'm around the 3,500 rank right now I posted a blog post regarding the Thunder Arena you might want to check out. You can find that here. Keep note that it's still a Work in Progress, haha.

Basic Vortex Arena rules:

1. Know the Enemy Units

As much as possible, avoid fighting leads such as Erza, Durumn , Cerise , Khepratum , Millia , and Viktor .These units all give above average parameter boosts (60% and above) and pack various buffs which are sure to make your time in the arena frustrating.

2. Choose your Squad Wisely

The best units to pick in the Thunder Arena are those with a mixture of good buffs and a good Arena AI. Aside from this, you need to make sure they have good stats, an Angel Idol proc (if possible), and don't have conflicting buffs. As much as possible, make sure your squad has a Mitigator, Ailment Inducer, Nuker, and Burst Healer/Ailment Cleanser. A good way to think about it is to imagine you're making a Frontier Hunter team, with the elemental limitation.

3. Spheres

Spheres which give ailment immunity and above average parameter boosts (i.e. 40% up) are priority, as well as spheres which either reduce the amount of BC needed or help in BC management. Angel Idol spheres are also optional.

4. Pick your Opponents Wisely

Keep note that you get considerably more Vortex points by battling enemies with higher Vortex points than you. Just keep refreshing until you think you find a team you can beat.

P.S.

The three main things to get from Vortex Arenas are Gems, Summon Tickets, and Spheres. However, since the spheres are usually element exclusive, evaluate first whether or not you want to get said sphere. If you do, go ahead and try your hardest. Otherwise it's probably better for you to just settle for the gems and summon ticket.

I hope this helped!
