Fastest and most consistent arena I can think of. Lowering the platform makes the first petra double consistently.
Wave 2 is a little tricky to always get hitless, so it's not too much slower to just play it a bit safer. kinda rough example in 2nd clip
Nothing is as fast as getting an rng double on whatever petra is further from you, but it's super unworth to go for imo
2new strategy for petra arena using left side. I do not believe that this is the fastest strategy but I do believe that it is a step in the right direction for LP. we have to start ignoring what is considered fast on 1221. Left side petra arena seems logical if you need to kill a stray petra.
Dash onto the left trap platform as soon as possible to activate it extremely early. Jump off of it as late as possible and fire two fireballs to the right. Ideally you get 3 hits on the first petra and 2 on the second petra. Alternatively, you might get only 2 hits on the first petra. If you activated the platform early and jumped late you will be just in time to catch the platform.
Saves almost a second with really good execution and rng
13this strat gives geo more consistently than the normal one and it's only 0.4-0.7s slower so it's worth if you're low, but rng can screw you over if the geo flies to the left.
if you get geo you'll probably get 5-12
jump when the petra is on the right of the platform, not immediately
sometimes the big geos don't land on the platform so you'll have to catch them midair
4variation of AlejsXY's strat for petra arena thats slower, but works better with asynchronous spawns and also has a faster backup, first video is optimal strat, second is backup
Edit: after a few hours of Trap Bench IL's, this strat is for late spawn right petra, if you get a fast right petra dont go for the pogo and default to the other strat, although its not that bad to go for this one obviously since the backup is forgiving
another tip is that if you shoot your fireball when the petra decides to attack, their attack cancels the recoil so they won't double, so either wait until after they shoot or hope they decide to not attack
