skill issue

#

i keep gaining and losing all the time, its kind of frustrating

candid patrol
#

i'm getting a lot of dc issues

amber escarp
#

what would you say is essential for a win? focus fire?

candid patrol
#

pushing the crystal

amber escarp
#

yeah....

spiral brook
#

Keeping people off the crystal

#

Definitely want to focus on their big hitters or main CC jobs

amber escarp
#

I feel like I'm using an iron rod to cut lol

#

yeah, ive found it easiest to just ignore tanks at least in the opening for the most part

crude heron
#

But that's the thing people don't focus shit

amber escarp
#

somehow its a 50/50 split where sometimes your party has synergy and sometimes not

candid patrol
# amber escarp yeah....

i'm not kidding... getting out of bronze is literally pushing the crystal. ppl don't understand that chasing ppl down isn't winning u games, make sure there's someone on the crystal at all times if possible

amber escarp
amber escarp
candid patrol
#

again... that's mainly cuz ur too focused on killing rather than zoning the crystal

amber escarp
#

what if the enemy is on the crystal tho

#

i dont really chase, if the crystal is free of enemies and noone is close nearby i just focus on pushing it

candid patrol
#

if EVERY enemy is on the crystal, it's ezier to wipe them

amber escarp
#

yeah but also no

candid patrol
#

also, i'm not a fan of focusing on the tanks

amber escarp
#

yeah me neither... do you prioritize healers over dps? or not

candid patrol
#

depends who's in front of u

#

if a whm jumps in, take it out first

vast crag
#

a person who can't guard first 😹

candid patrol
#

if a sam jumps in, take that out

amber escarp
#

so you you mainly go by proximity in terms of choosing a target?

candid patrol
#

yeah, cuz if u CHASE, u WILL be focused

amber escarp
#

yeah yeah, have had that many times lol

glossy cape
#

if it's an AST or a SCH

#

meh, who cares

#

WHM and SGE are far more deadly than AST or SCH

#

WHM can actually life support others

amber escarp
#

WHM are almost like a tank to kill it feels like at times

candid patrol
#

don't go behind the lines tho, but if ur a nin or a drg, u have a bit more flexibility

glossy cape
#

SGE has debuffs and stinky field lb

#

yeha

#

WHM are the only healer with proper heals

#

afaik

amber escarp
vocal osprey
candid patrol
#

also, i know sometimes ur not in control, but dying hurts a lot

amber escarp
#

i guess a lot of it has to do with coordinating the team to not rush into the fight again right away

#

many games i probably lost because of that

vocal osprey
#

the further you get in ranks the more you will see your team wait on the enemy or the crystal to unbind

candid patrol
#

it took me a long time to learn that jumping in is ez, but getting out is a skill

amber escarp
#

because if a teammates rushes in you have to debate if you want to reenter aswell or wait

vocal osprey
#

pushing is usually a death wish

crude heron
#

Good god 9 minutes and 15 seconds

#

I don't know how but we pushed the crystal all the way from our side to their side during overtime

candid patrol
#

skill, sheer power of will

vocal osprey
#

happened to me aswell

crude heron
#

And then I lb'd and killed 4 of them and we won

vocal osprey
#

id hate to be on the other team

candid patrol
#

lol

amber escarp
candid patrol
#

yeah, if ur a drg, u can launch ur aoe as a poke

vocal osprey
amber escarp
#

i guess im just looking for a "win quick!" solution that doesnt exist haha, it sounds so simple and obvious when you guys explain it

vocal osprey
#

you can’t do the work of 4 other people

vocal hound
#

most of it comes down to the team who corrdinate the most out of the box

amber escarp
#

unfortunately yeah

vocal hound
#

i would have liked 3v3

versed lily
#

i feel like redmage is actually guna be a low rank stomper

#

the aoe silence off the bat really just wins momentum right away

#

and then u melee whoever dives in and they just drop dead cus the dot isnt reduced by guard if its already up

sinful tundra
#

finally got gold lit

lapis mauve
#

Hell yeah

#

Gj

sinful tundra
#

tyy

candid patrol
#

shoot... i just realized garo req. lvl60

lapis mauve
#

You need level 60 in all CLASSES for all garo titles

candid patrol
#

i mean i'm close for all classes... but ast... but still

lapis mauve
#

wtf was squeenix thinking

#

I only have like 5 level 50-60's

#

Make the gear level 1 imo

versed lily
#

ive seen ppl say the garo event is guna probs be up til 7.0

lapis mauve
#

Yeah i can probably level the classes to 60

candid patrol
#

is it?

lapis mauve
#

I won't but probably could

lapis mauve
#

And 7.0 is like 1 - 2 years away

candid patrol
#

well that would be nice

vague crater
#

for the garo titles, how do I get them? Is it just equiping the gear then talking to her?

candid patrol
#

yeah

#

make sure u equip one of the titles so u can farm the mounts

vague crater
#

ye just looked at them for that

#

also do diff modes give diff series exp?

spiral brook
#

Frontlines give 1000/1250/1500

#

CC gives 700/900

candid patrol
#

i wouldn't worry much about the xp part lol it really adds up quick

spiral brook
#

Yeah you got plenty of time too unless you want to grind ranks for the currency

#

I’m aiming for just 1-2 ranks a day currently

candid patrol
#

haha even 1-2 ranks a day sounds like a lot

glossy cape
#

I got like 5 NODDERS

candid patrol
#

i'm grinding casual to get the mounts quicker lol

glossy cape
#

I had some banger matches in bronze with like 1:48 being quickest

#

But then I got to silver and people are throwing wah

sudden crest
#

silver queues are fucking awful

#

I cannot get out of this awful fucking rank

muted falcon
#

I still don't really get crystalline conflict. Do you move the crystal to the enemy side or back to your side? There's so much trying to get ahold of it, I can't tell.

sudden crest
#

enemy side

#

I can quite literally live in a 1v4 for 30s and my entire team loses to a 4v1

#

at the same time

glossy cape
#

That 1 is 100% Sam and the 4 are monkeys who hit their Chiten

sudden crest
#

its not a sam

#

quite ltierally its been things like mch or smn

glossy cape
#

Oh

#

Your teams fucking throwing then lmao

#

Or the MCH hit the godly 3%

sudden crest
#

even then when it has been a sam, its literally EARLY GAME

#

so NO LBS

glossy cape
#

Outplayed NODDERS

sudden crest
#

half of the players in silver still don't fucking use LB or recup

#

I might have to start filling in my blacklist to stop getting shitters

fathom shard
#

forever silver rank, yeah

#

just gonna keep losing till i get that cool glamour then im done, dunno how people are gettng plat rank

glossy cape
#

God gamers who got other god teams

#

Or single handedly turned the match

#

It's possible to 1v5 NODDERS

#

You just gotta play well on a job with good aoe

#

BLM is a fucking menace for that shit

fathom shard
#

im on brd, gving myself the hardest road

glossy cape
#

BRD can melt in the 3s of silence

#

And the 3s is all you need to melt someone while the whm is silenced

fathom shard
#

keep gettng double healer team lol

sudden crest
#

double healer is fine

glossy cape
#

If it's not whm + sge
Nothing changes

sudden crest
#

whm + sge is really fucking good

glossy cape
#

If it's ast and sch
Might as well just be 3 + 2 NPCs

#

Whm is the only healer with good healing

#

Sge has nasty debuffs

#

Ast has the whole LB gen card, but it's rng

#

And sch
Idfk what scholar does
Not win, that's for sure

sudden crest
#

normal ranked behaviour

muted falcon
#

This Frontline match was like the 1st time I've seen 4 healers on my side. We ended up winning too.

candid patrol
#

yeah, was saying earlier, most parties will have 4 whm on their side and have 12 flash cannons blasted in ur face when they get lb

sweet oracle
#

I'm trying to understand if It is me who suck as as dragoon

#

Or my teammates

west patrol
#

Oh wait this chat gets used now

#

I forgot

#

So idk what pvp is about cuz that was my first time playing it but i played frontline

#

I kinda just 1v1'd a SAM for like the last 4 minutes

#

Neither of us would die

sudden crest
#

Is samurai LB bugged??

#

I have lb'd drg twice now with kuzushi on them, its not instakilling them

west patrol
#

I was on PLD

sudden crest
#

?????????????????

#

WE'RE LITERALLY ON CRYSTAL?

vocal hound
#

you prob werent when it mattered, you can still move for a sec or 2 when game's ending

sudden crest
#

I was the only one who left crystal

#

everyone else was still stunned in crystal

#

Still have no idea why kuzushi is not giving me instakills in my lb

glossy cape
#

but i think it's because you deal TARGET'S max hp

#

so if you target a healer

#

it ain't gonna kill others lul

sudden crest
#

oooh so if I target a warrior it would 100% kill everyone

#

I thought it meant everyone wtih the debuff I understand

candid patrol
#

well... not sure if it's ever safe to jump a war

sudden crest
#

I used it as an example

glossy cape
#

but it would explain the inconsistency of it

#

Swiftly charges forward, dealing damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 24,000. If target is afflicted with Kuzushi, deals damage equal to 100% of their maximum HP.

#

it's either
A) Target as in anyone hit
B) Target as in the person being targetted

sudden crest
#

actual pain

glossy cape
#

I mean

#

obviously the astra team was more co-ordinated

west patrol
#

Love thay

#

That*

sudden crest
#

idk both whms on both sides just used LB the moment they got it

#

Hi

glossy cape
#

ALOOOOOOOHA

merry steeple
#

I'm curious where I could find a PvP team to join

#

I'm sure there's a discord for it

#

or something

#

but idk what to search I felt like I should just ask around here
I'd rather not have to resort to having a team because I just want to queue and play, but it's not working out for me for getting out of bronze lol

#

teams kind of suck and the lack of communication in CC is awful

sudden crest
#

pvp teams don't work with CC rn

merry steeple
#

they don't yet?

#

it says they do on the PvP team board

#

I hate this, why can't we use chat in CC
you need to communicate to play this kind of game ranked

#

.-.

#

the quick chat isn't really enough

sudden crest
#

quick chat is useless

merry steeple
#

exactly

#

people just use it to be toxic

sudden crest
#

also I've heard people say there isn't a way for pvp teams to queue in

merry steeple
#

and say stuff like "good match" after you flub the enemy's initial push

#

when you still have like two minutes

glossy cape
#

ok but

#

if you wreck a team early on

#

it's a high chance of a quick w

#

cause you're getting that LB soon NODDERS

crude heron
#

SE takes away chat because it was toxic, only for people to use quick chat to be toxic and annoying because it has sound effects. Proving that attempting to stop toxicity is a futile effort.

glossy cape
#

You can be toxic while being mute

#

Hell

#

you can be fucking toxic in Conway's game of life lmao

#

throw a glider at someone's glider spawner

sudden crest
#

people are already toxic everywhere else, how about don't remove communication in the one mode that requires it

#

like it fucking sucks not being able to tell people to use LB or recup

crude heron
#

Clearly I am missing a vital component to this pvp thing because my first few gold matches have been fucking nightmares.

versed lily
#

what class u playing

crude heron
#

Samurai

versed lily
#

samurai can be really good, stick with the death ball and run out when ur def are on cd

#

basically press meikyo shisui, then ur stun then if its just one person midare, if 2 ogi nami and the proc after that first

#

loads of dmg

#

empower ur 2nd and 3rd combo abilities with ur charge

#

the root is so short i dont ever really bother with empowering it unless the dmg from charge might just kill someoen

vernal wing
#

how can u tell if someone is using their lb?

versed lily
#

honestly i struggle with that they are all so fast

#

i just dont attack samurai when they have lb ready and dragoon is easy to dodge

#

rest are just luck and not letting myself sit low hp

vernal wing
#

thx

crude heron
#

I'm honestly just annoyed at the complaining about jobs at this point

crude heron
versed lily
#

ye somtimes that happens, u can always turn it around when u have ult by running in popping ur defensive and oneshotting half their team

#

dont forget to activate sprint between heals if ur running , it has no cd

crude heron
#

I need a break. It's amazing that as soon you go from silver to gold there's a jump in the skill ceiling. It makes sense it's just frustrating as hell.

versed lily
#

i feel like somtimes its just matchmaking, when im against a white mage warrior and we have like a gunbreaker astro i know its guna be a uphill battle

#

got plat 3 atm

crude heron
#

I've been practically useless the last 4 matches

versed lily
#

try redmage, u get to just sit back aoe silence then go in for melee combo hop out

fringe tiger
sinful tundra
versed lily
#

works for me

vague crater
#

So like

#

How does pvp determine matchmaking if any

sinful tundra
#

just random rly

versed lily
#

u mean by skill level or classes

#

it atleast feels like it tries to match tanks and heals

#

not always tho

vague crater
#

In terms of skill

sinful tundra
#

its by ranking

versed lily
#

hidden mmr, beat ppl with higher mmr gain more mmr

vague crater
#

Bc I’ve had like 5 games back to back of people doing less than 400k on my team and the enemy doing 800+

sinful tundra

vague crater
sinful tundra
#

skill issue i fear

versed lily

gotta wait for it to sort u

vague crater
#

This is cursed

#

I don’t like this

#

But I want liche king armor

fringe tiger
#

Are those armors

#

end of season rewards

#

because I don't see them on vendors

vague crater
#

The Garo event is like to the right on the dock from the entrance to vendors

fringe tiger
#

I didn't see a vendor on the map there

vague crater
#

You’ll see a bunch of people surrounding the npc

fringe tiger
#

hrm

#

I'll have to check after this match

sinful tundra
#

its called a priest

#

disputable priest something lkike that

vague crater
#

Ye

fringe tiger
#

wolves den?

sinful tundra
#

ye

#

NE side of the map

vague crater
#

She’s not labeled as a vendor

#

So you won’t see it on the map

versed lily
#

theres like a highres version of job armours u buy with crystals, lvl 25 in the battlepass is the new season set

#

and garo is event with wolf marks

fringe tiger
#

what

vague crater
#

Yes the Garo gear is bought w/ wolf marks

#

The artifact armor from level 60 can be bought w/ the crystal currency.

#

It’s higher Rez and has some color differences

fringe tiger
#

Oh the artifact armor is garbage

#

yeah

#

idr seeing garo anywhere

versed lily
#

buy a set of garo gear u can equip, talk to the woman to get a title and equip that, so then u can start earning the mounts

fringe tiger
#

Wait

#

So I haven't been gaining anything

versed lily
#

30 crystal wins, 10 frontline wins , 60 of any gametype

fringe tiger
#

and I've been pvping

#

this entire fucking time?

vague crater
#

Yeah

#

Rip ur mounts

versed lily
#

honestly only frontlines will be a pain to get

#

1/3 chance of winning and you have less impact being with 72

vague crater
#

Ye but we have forever on it right?

vernal wing
#

where do u buy the garo gear?

versed lily
#

also just abuse summoner in frontline lol

vague crater

Look for people surrounding an NPC priest

vernal wing

these new pvp cards really made me realise how many people made their char look like the trailer mascot

fringe tiger
#

Really tired of fucking how broken warrior's burst damage is

#

literally no-brain aoe stun and 50% health loss

#

what is it, 2 fucking buttons?

versed lily
#

i do feel like maybe a bitt to much dmg is loaded into their LB

#

u can felcleave so many times in a row while they cant guard

#

+16k aoe stun

lapis mauve
#

AoE stun is enough but they land like a mini nuke

lapis mauve
fringe tiger
#

whatever they do feels like more than 16k

#

and it's like every 20 seconds

#

or w/e

lapis mauve
#

Yeah probably the most cancerous thing

#

Warriors might be kings at contesting point

#

And DrK but they are tanks

versed lily

they can instantly do 24k dmg

28*

So how does RDM work? i get the shift thing but once i go in and smoke a dude with corps and the melee combo , i jump out , cast my last melee ability for the 20% and then i just chill and cast spells while i get my cd's back?

It's crazy good ngl deals so much damage

So, here is something I've learned. This might not work for you, because I play RDM and my damage-ramp up takes a while but hurts like hell if they don't react.

Tanks are actually a high priority target, especially paladins. Why?

Think of it like this:

Your team is avoiding attacking the tank, and they use all their cooldowns to fight/kill the DPS players. Now all that's left is the tank and maybe a DPS.

That crystal isn't going to move so logn asd the Tank is on there, and everyone just used all their CDs fighting the DPS. The people still alive just have to hold out long enough for the team to come back.

I've seen PLDs live 1v5 on a crystal for a very long time, long enough for his entire team to come back.

Also, if the tanks died, their frontline is gone and their backline now becomes frontline

#

My priority list is something like this

somber breach
fringe tiger
#

RDM > PLD > WAR > DRG > everyone else

#

RDM needs to die fucking quick as shit, if you leave them alive they WILL kill someone

#

and there is no amount of healing that can stop it

#

but that's only if they're a good RDM

#

Look at who uses their guard (blue bubble) and throw all your cooldowns on them

weary inlet
#

Hmmm So RDM is shit but RDM is a high prio target

fringe tiger
#

They're a hit and run assassin

#

also

#

RDM counters RDM

#

There are only two classes I've found that can kill me (RDM) 1v1 and that's MNK and SAM, and they need to be really fucking good in order to pull it off

#

RDM does very little to help team fights. I guess line-silence is cool when enemy is stacked on crystal

#

but that's about it

#

3sec is enough for 1 GCD

#

silence also prevents guard

lapis mauve
#

God RDM is sexy AF

#

This match had me quakin

vocal hound
#

dancer high prio?

#

they usually do high dmg

fringe tiger
#

Do they?

#

In my road from PLAT -> Crystal

from experiences

I haven't seen a dancer once in platinum lol

is RDM really that good?

whats a monk role?

lapis mauve
#

High burst assassin

vocal hound
#

what should they be doing

lapis mauve
#

You can 1 shot half the classes with LB ready

somber breach
#

fuck it. let's try it out in casual.

lapis mauve
#

Never played in PVE

#

My mind will be forever tainted by RDM in pvp

somber breach
#

I use to in PvE

lapis mauve
#

Vanilla set SLAPS

somber breach
#

PvP looked weird though

fringe tiger
# somber breach is RDM really that good?

RDM is very strong at 1v1. It's a hit-run assassin that can beat pretty much everyone 1v1 if all cooldowns are ready. It takes a very damn good monk/sam to be able to beat you 1v1.

RDM doesn't have great burst, but instead stacks lots of DOT over time and then peppers a lot of smaller oGCDs in.

DOTs go through guard if applied before they guard. So, by the time they guard after 3 hits it's already too late and they have 12000 pot DOT

#

RDM isn't a teamplayer though

#

NIN can't do shit to them, or DRG as well

somber breach
#

idc about team player at this fucking point lol

fringe tiger
#

I haven't found a NIN/DRG player that can 1v1 me yet

somber breach
#

going anti-social

fringe tiger

took me a while to find MNK/SAM

#

One thing that sucks about RDM though

vocal hound
#

target prio for dps?

fringe tiger
#

is people can just run away from your charge

like who to prio first

but that's only if they're a good RDM
Look at who uses their guard (blue bubble) and throw all your cooldowns on them

We won surprisingly

Enemy team SAM was braindead

They all did tbh they let me wreck havoc

Welcome to the real world FOO

It's... different

6 games in a row win - loss - win - loss

Why is overtime so bullshit

Plat 2 2 - Plat 2 - 1 omfg

It literally never works in my favor

Im loosing my sanity

#

im in a loop

modest oak
#

I should be platinum by now

#

But I just keep getting these awful teammates

somber breach
modest oak
#

No matter the comp we always seem to lack damage because it's always spread out while I'm eating like 4 different abilities

somber breach
#

not ranked but it def. hits hard

lapis mauve
#

Ok im sure of it

#

WHM LB needs a fucking nerf

subtle hornet
#

Do you use white shift as rdm? Or stay to nuke in black shift?

somber breach
#

Mostly stayed in black

#

Most people ignored me

lapis mauve
subtle hornet
#

White shift for resolution, black shift for everything else?

somber breach
#

okay RDM is fun

#

jumping on people and dotting them then jumping away and nuking them is soooo fun

timber iron
#

yall think SE will ever enable chat in ranked match?

hollow frost
#

it would probably be toxic though

modest oak
#

Dude it's so unreal

#

I'm done with pvp I guess

#

I'd rather just go and throw dice at this point

lapis mauve
#

Pvp would be ban city

modest oak
#

They shouldn't otherwise my account would be banned by the end of my session

#

Because I would be typing more then playing so I can wish my teammates the worst fate possible

rocky shale
#

Wow, my whole team are even on Kills

modest oak
#

Literally dropping my rank with something out of my control

timber iron
#

toxic gang unite

modest oak
#

Like I shouldn't be losing stars yet my team just does no damage

#

I somehow get the worst warrior players and paladin players but the enemy team never dies if there's a warrior or paladin

#

My red mage does no damage yet the enemy team red mage is burning through mine just fine

modest oak
#

Honestly if I really wanna get into pvp I would just play LOL instead tbh at least that has some form of being able to carry

hollow frost
#

sometimes you go in and compare your team comp with the enemy's you know its a lost already

#

9/10 of GNB i get underperform

rocky shale
modest oak
#

All 4 of my teammates always underperform

#

And when they do something finally it's like a little spark that lasts for like 5 seconds

#

Then we wipe and just keep dying

hollow frost
#

I'm WHM so sometimes i can turn the tides with a 4/5 man stun

#

but it happen quite rarely though

timber iron
#

i bet most of you all, including me, are losing matches in a very fast way, but when you finally win a game, it's a hard earned victory

hollow frost
#

yeahh although WHM is undoubtly strong, every match i play there's a enemy WHM

rocky shale
#

I ran into DRK who spams Shadowbringers and not self healing, earns 6 deaths in a row

modest oak
#

My whm must have his healing unbinded

hollow frost
#

unless i try my hardest to outperform the enemy WHM its gonna be a loss

lapis mauve

Scholar gang doing the most damage and never winning 😂

he chased me all the way to spawn too to try and kill me

#

poor guy

fringe tiger
somber breach

he got close

fringe tiger
#

Yeah like I said

somber breach
fringe tiger
#

RDM wins 1v1 against all classes. If you play well, only an extremely good mnk/sam can kill you

#

keyword is can

#

it's not guaranteed and can be a toss-up to the last hitpoint

lapis mauve

Exactly when i was playing MNK i would have to dump Everything

Pvp kits are designed easy enough thank god

this is going to hurt

If they're bad though and never dive then I suggest you focus whoever the first diver is

#

just tab to them and silence them, and do the above combo

#

if you're quick enough

somber breach
#

monk & sam are focusing me, they know lol

fringe tiger
#

pop sprint and run away lol

#

sprint doesn't wear off while taking damage

#

only when you use an action

so they won't be able to keep up

what if I get stuck in plat and regret not just staying with gold frame

Doesn't hurt to try, besides mentally

cant derank back to gold if I hit plat and I figure out I cant actually hit diamond

thats what im scared of

The FAQ doesnt really explicitly state it one way or the other

Players who rate among the bronze tier or higher by the end of the season can receive the tier rewards listed below by speaking with the Seasonal Quartermaster at the Wolves' Den Pier (X:4.9 Y:5.7).

plain cloud
#

All the news sites ive seen show this basically

#

it does make sense but I dont wanna get stuck with a plat frame

deft oriole

That's how the Feast tier rewards worked right? You only got the title and accessory/whatever for your exact rank?

Since there isn't any rank after Crystal you essentially just start winning cumulative points

But screw that lol i just wanted crystal border

I punched the wall like 5 hours ago and my pinky is swollen im done with pvp lol

void dawn
#

Need help understanding how the people im jumping on keep healing, like way more than the 4 times recup allows. And its not just a personal heal skill its like theyre bouncing back to half hp every time I get them critically low

#

I'll be hitting someone off the gcd for 20 seconds and theyre still just running away from me popping up health

lapis mauve
#

Depends on class

void dawn
#

Oh... I forgot the white mage pvp bug exists, that might be it

#

Since almost every game I'm against a white mage

#

I was assuming it wasnt a healer nearby since their heals are supposed to have a cooldown

lapis mauve
#

I mean even with the bug against Healers always make sure you have your shutdown ready

#

As RDM with 3 sec silence i can burst one b4 he spams heal

void dawn
#

I've been told RDM is a good job due to healer bursting. I tried out Warrior but even throwing everything on the whm that has cc or makes them take more damage, they just wouldnt die

Was stuck in plat , picked up RDM without ZERO experience not even in PVE and went Plat > Crystal in like 6 hours xd

it's worded as if just 1 person needs it

if it was a 1hit ko on a single target

fine

but at the same time, it would only kill 1 person

but every peopel that hit you

well it is only 1 target if only that 1 target hits them

in a game where theres a node point

when did i ever say that

#

in a game about fighting i am forced to not fight someone if they press a button unless i would like to get my asshole turned inside out

#

it's like a counter but on crack

glossy cape
#

Yeah, sometimes not attacking is better

#

like

silk rune
#

@boreal prawn there is a way to separate your opponent's buff bar from the HP bar and blow it up to make looking at them easier to look at

Ideally, before attacking a SAM, you want to check:

  • how close to LB are they
  • if Chiten is up

Battle awareness is absolutely vital in this game mode

boreal prawn
#

oh yeah i know to look for LB at least

#

i heard it's a crazy long charge time anyway

#

it just sucks to get bonked by it
