Arena sucks!!! It takes forever to get dropped into a match. I built my duel streak up to 4 or 5, then was paired up with an obvious cheater. Infinite HP, stamina, and WotG castings. He kept changing phantom colors and going invisible and just WotG spamming. I managed to stay alive for the first couple minutes and then he finally killed me at the end, resetting my streak. So, the streak competition is useless because you meet one hacker, and you're *** back to 0, plus you have to sit there for 3 minutes rather than being able to just black crystal out of there or troll the guy around a level. Lastly, there are no rewards other than the streak listing on the wall, which is flawed due to my previous complaint.
Therefore, invading is still the best option. It's faster. You have more options when encountering hackers. There is more reward: humanity, souls, plus there's always Book of the Guilty if you want a "leaderboard". I predict people trying to streak for the leaderboard in the arena will simply disconnect from the internet if they're about to lose anyway. That way their streak is never reset.
