Tutorial: Official Team Battles Set Up
Step 1 -
Stage Selection...!
During official matches using the Ladder Room, the A.I. Space used as a materialized battlefield can be fully customized by one of the teams involved (usually the one with the lowest point count
[right now: you] or the one with a blatant disadvantage). Extreme hazardous settings such as a pit of molten lava or a town in the wake of a tsunami are currently unavailable. However, normal weather conditions and even the time of the day can be adjusted to fill the team's desires. One can choose from a set of pre-loaded locations or use one's own Robotic;Notes as a 'base' for the A.I. Space to replicate. Doing so does not exhaust the owner of the Robotic;Notes in any way, and during the battle, it is unlikely such space will collapse. Choose a stage that improves your team performance and gain an advantage over the opponent-!
Stage 2 -
Planning and Anticipating the Opponent's Next Move...!
Before the battle starts, each team will be given a few minutes to discuss which strategy they'll use to tackle the obstacles that lie ahead. You are allowed to create up to three goals which may be separate or intertwined, which will be known only by your team. Completing such goals will give you a narrative boost during the battle (increasing chances of success). Specific, intertwined goals will have a stronger effect than other goals. In addition, you are able to create two counter-strategies to oppose your foe's tactics. If you predict their moves right and act to suppress them, you'll get a narrative boost as well-!
Stage 3 -
No Mercy...!
Watch out! During this battle you may be taken out or suffer severe damage without making any real narrative mistakes! Depending on which map is chosen you might be more exposed to threats you cannot perceive and thus, not able to react to in time. Furthermore, if you are targeted by multiple enemies, fighting back will be difficult and disengaging might be for the best. Do your best to play safe, collect narrative bonuses and corner your enemies using these very same rules-!
Stage 4 -
Get Together and Victory...!
At the beginning of the match, you'll spawn at a random location within the map. It is probably in your best interest to get together as soon as possible, but it also might be a good opportunity to pick on an enemy who is weaker when they are one their own. A team will be awarded a point for each foe they eliminate and one for each ally that is still in the game after the timer rounds out or every other team has been eliminated. Find the way most suited to you to score the most points and win the match-!
