I adjusted my pvp glam for my machinist. My goal is always to be the absolute fucking cutest, most well dressed, Lalafell even if it gets me focused on in crystalline conflict because I have a whole problem. Look at this shit. Fucking adorable.

This is the cutest lil cyberpunk murdering monster ever.

ok and now the obligatory glamour shots i burned out my retinas staring at.

ok but really i might need new retinas.

I constantly hear this shouting from across the room so I had to make this.

Now on the Etsy shop. 🔗

I'd like to dedicate this post to every Crystalline Conflict teammate I've ever had so far

STAY ON THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE DURING OVERTIME

Yes, I know you're under attack. Yes, I know RPR has that PBAoE Hysteria. Yes, I know the SAM is just baiting for Zantetsuken. No, I'm not asking all of you to throw yourselves off a cliff like a collective of lemmings. I'm asking you to keep Overtime alive long enough for the full-team runback.

Here's the breakdown: During Overtime, all other skirmishes lose all meaning - the objective is to get on the point, and stay there. If your team is the team that has to make the progress to meet-or-beat the other team, then so long as at least one(1) teammate is on the crystal, the Overtime clock keeps rolling.

The ONLY time that the clock runs down and a verdict is handed out, is when the OTHER team has control of the crystal for approximately 2-3 seconds uncontested - the moment a rival teammate so much as steps a toe under that Crystal, the clock resets, and Overtime rolls on.

This goes for the inverse as well - If THEY are the ones that need to catch up, and we have the lead? Then push them off that point, full stop, and reclaim it. Take that hill, and keep it as hard and as long as you can. Pop EVERYTHING (don't hog your LB if it buys you and your team time, take that win By Any Means Necessary, full scorched-earth tactics).

But do NOT lose sight of the mission - the second you get caught up in a 1v1 to "assert your melee dominance", you cast your surrender vote. The moment you forget your team and focus on "destroying this rival MCH", is the same moment where you secure the kill, and see the big "DEFEAT" word pop up in the same second.

Not to be confused with diversionary tactics, typically run by tanks - if a Tank dives in towards the enemy base, more-often-than-not with their LB ready to go, then odds are they Know What They're Doing™, and much like Bill "The Bill-dozer" Dauterive, they don't expect to make it out in one piece, and that's fine - they expect to hold the line long enough for the rest of the team to make the runback happen.

All of this is to say, if you're near the point, and the big words "OVERTIME!" pop up, and you know for a fact that your team is behind, then you forgo violence, and focus on the objective. If someone else is trying to keep you off the point, murder them, but do not leave the mission objective for a clash of egos.

Because it's a domino effect. If you leave the point for a fight, and someone else on your team sees you struggling, they'll come to help. Which is one less body on the point. Which can add up if everyone starts to focus-fire the same enemy teammate down, chasing them away from the mission-objective. It always ends the same.

You win the battle, but you lose the war.

Snuck into a match against my fc's leader and fc friend. 😂 I loved listening to them yell on vc. This is the best way to PvP.

Nishiki is me btw. Made it even better that I went on my dmc Vergil character.

So I've only played pvp for less than a week but I have a theory that weekday players are significantly better than weekend players. (Joking, but...)

On weekdays I tend to be playing with the same 20 people where as on weekends it's nothing but new names lol

I'm just getting to Rank 25 for the False Monarchy armor, but I would... like to reach Diamond Rank to get <Diamond Bearer> title for Alfonse.........................

Getting Closer...

More Frontlines and Casual Match CC for me. I haven't pushed too crazy this season, lest I burn out the way I did when farming up Makai the first time around...

I do still need to get C'oretta and Iyna their emote. Iyna also needs All The Makai Stuff as she didn't exist the first time it came around and the other three. Maybe how I level some of her alt jobs for a change of pace.

A kind of sudden and unannounced stream, but going live anyway!
