*Answering some FAQS*
1/ under your HUD for "Duty", look for 'Crystalline Conflict Battle Log" this is where the countdown timer will occur, for the Cloud map lifting people into the air
2/ the LB bar for everyone, is displayed as yellow horizontal bar below job icons
I feel like this is the only type of content FFXIV was missing. A really good attempt from the developers and I really hope they continue to nurture it in the future!
i took a break for like 6 months because game felt boring without pvp content,now i solely came back for this !!!! What I can say is the game is perfect now
It really does seem like this was the final piece the game needed to complete its appeal to all audiences.
@AnyonkaVirgon true
they neeed to keep developing it in the good way, and add hard mode dungeons and then we can says we got the big 3 aspect of an mmo (dungeon/raid/pvp) with some bonuses like deep dungeons, it's perfect
I have never felt more rage than when I played this game mode. I found my self having flashbacks to the old TF2 days, yelling push the dang cart. Crystalline Conflict is really fun. It's a really good thing there is no free chat in that mode.
Oh yeah for sure, I've felt the urge to rage at my team mates before in moments where I'd stupidly charged ahead and 1v5'ed and team mates hung back but in hindsight I'm glad we can't because at the end of the day it would likely just make them more stubborn and make myself feel worse for doing it since rarely does rage typing make the situation better.
The better thing to do is to understand your team mates positioning in comparison to the enemies positions and also who on your team is low on MP, if they are low on MP they'll likely be running around a corner to pop an elixir and won't be able to commit to an attack with you.
I love how you follow "I have never felt more rage" with "Crystalline Conflict is really fun" :D
Duuuude, I never raged this hard, not even when I played Overwatch. Sure, I’d get annoyed but I never hurt my wrist by slamming it against the table out of frustration. Now I feel like Im developing anger issues because of this mode. I get easily annoyed when my team plays so poorly and drag me down with them or when the enemy that’s playing the same job as me decides to bully me as if it’s a competition of who played RDM best, same thing when someone from my server does it just because they’ve seen me a lot so they wanna test me or something. My competitiveness cant handle it, thats why after getting to plat, i went on a break lol
The retreat button "fall back and regroup" is so so so useful I wish more ppl use it more often.
I feel like people that tunnel vision and overextend will only read that after they're dead tbh
from my experience, only people above plat know how to even pull out without dying. It's not as easy as some people take it. When it works though, its so nice.
It's honestly the most useless button. The ONLY time you should be falling back is when multiple people are dead waiting to repsawn. And that's only to keep each fight even or better with numbers advantage, so don't fall back if the enemy team is missing people as well.
Any other time, leaving your team to fight a 4v5 or worse while you spam "fall back" because you can't rotate mitigation properly or do damage is unacceptable.
I agree! I was in a ranked match when some of our teammates were rushing the opponents and got baited several time. The enemies were dominating and kept on pushing the crystal. Then I pressed the retreat button, and everyone is gathering again. Fortunately we managed to comeback and get the victory, despite the enemies had progressed to 99.3%! What a Clutch!
It doesn't matter if people don't know what's going on and ignores it.
Tip 11: Play something that can hard carry like samurai or dragoon because your team sure as hell isn't going to do any damage.
Facts XD, feels like I always have to jump in and bait the enemy teams hard hitting attacks and insta shield to really start my team off, been working out decent tho. But pvp is 90% team play, you are only as good as your team is
Does item level matter in pvp?
@@darthspoompls nope, u only need a job crystal and your good to go for any job
I'm currently plat 3 3stars, one tip I would recommend for fellow dragoons/samurai or any other dps melee in pvp is to try to help peel for your healer/ranged, you may not have the highest kill rate or dps in the end, but it helps your teammates survive which wins the fight usually as everyone can target the one melee opponent who is targeting your ranged. Another would be removing the opponent from the crystal, if you are in the advantaged side during overtime, try to bait your opponent out of the circle or for monk try to push them off, this has won me so many games because people still fail to stand in the circle even in my ranks
Doubly so for tanks, sure DrK and War can keep up with the melees in raw damage, but as a war, I've seen so much more success staying to the side or just behind the crystal and pulling people that try to contest out, and with war... Our LB makes us a miniboss, don't be afraid to chase people down and make yourself an obvious target, it will help your team push.
I kinda do this, as the bait as DRG. I like to backflip from in front to behind enemy lines right after the initial engagement and let aoes fly. Then run people back to their base (I always get at least 1 chaser, sometimes 2.) if no one reacts I pick someone to jump in on and focus down. I know this won’t work for long, but when it works it’s incredibly gratifying.
Man i wish ppl would do this, I do this alot but sadly also stuck in bronze/silver hell
What does “try to help peel” mean? 😅 trying to improve but I don’t think I speak this language.
@@rosieweaselby peeling means to use stuns, forced movement and even damage to protect other party members do they can do their job better. For example, ninja has an AoE execution on their LB; therefore they become a primary target when their lb is fulll. To peel for them, you want to use everything you have to keep them alive so they can get it off, this includes trying to keep the other team from staying above 50% HP cause the longer they stay out of execution range the more time they have to get rid of the ninja
Awesome video, these tips should help a lot! I just jumped into CC yesterday (and PvP only a few days ago) and I'm having a blast with it so far
Another small tip is to see what kind of macros you can make for your job. For instance I have a 5 separate buttons f1-f5 for the machinist LB to quickly snipe a target and a target macro for bishop. I also have 2 different deployment tactics on sch. One for the party, one for the enemy. (/pvpaction instead of /action for those who are unaware)
what's the macro syntax for targeting enemies in crystal conflict? I used previously for feast
You I’m planning to main MCH for pvp. Mind sharing those macros?
I've seen some people use macros that simulate the countdown option that used to be in feast by applying 3, 2, 1 and then the circle/X sign on a single enemy, trying to prompt allies to hit their burst when the "timer" reaches 0.
@@tqlax21 It's the same, it just goes up to now.
Would you be able to explain how to macro a summoners pvp LBs to the target? (I’m on controller, so Mouse overs don’t work)
great guide. Some of this I was starting to intuit as I played, but still good to hear it out loud and explained. I'm still bad, and maybe I need to explore other jobs and see if something feels better for me but I'm having a blast exploring this mode and learning it.
Great advice! A tip I have is when you're being chased to play to the elixirs on the field. I've seen people survive 2on1 and 3on1 situations by using mobility to drag their opponents from elixir to elixir. It can be very hard to take down ranged opponents who do this well.
Just started with the game a few weeks ago, I am entertaining the thought of dipping a toe into PvP. I might still suck, but this guide helps take away a lot of the (sometimes overwhelming) unknowns of what to expect, and how to set a solid foundation for my entry matches. Much appreciated! Will definitely give PvP a try now.
Awesome compilation of tips here!!! Tried and tested them all personally! and yes! numbers game it is... :D thanks for the great video Quazii!
Great video Quaz, really helpful advice. I am VERY new to PvP in general and this has already helped alot :D Thank you :D
Thanks for the tips! Very helpful, wspecially the guard/knockup thing, I did not know that! Thanks again Quazii!
Some other tips:
Track opponents MP. A target with 70% hp and no MP is better than a target with 50% hp and full MP in most scenarios and coordinating your attacks on the no MP target will result in a kill if they're out in the open
SGE and WHM reward aggressive play. Both have powerful offensive abilities allowing you and your team to push in and finish off prime health targets while shoring up your team's ability to stay in the fight. SCH and AST are more about debilitating the enemy's defensive capabilities in a group fight and supporting your team from the back line.
Use the environment to your advantage. Corners/LOS are very strong as they were in feast and while focusing on the objective keep in mind the corners nearby that you can quickly use to LOS any ranged enemies. The Volcano arena leaves offensive buffs you can pick up after the fire bombs go off, grab any you see on your way to turn you into a killing machine. If any enemies fail to block the Tornado on that arena immediately burst them as they will have received a ton of damage.
Nope wrong a target with 50% hp and full mp likely will heal and it will be pointless. A target 70% hp and no mp cannot heal and will die if focused unless your dumb let him get away and allow him to use an elixir. Even if he guards his hp will go down and in guard as it doesn't mitigate full damage. Only PLD has an ability to do that with another skill. Though even then you just wait his guard off then nuke him. In terms MP is life in Crystalline Conflict.
@@WinoaKaronhiatens that’s what i said. I don’t think you read my comment correctly
Great guide, thank you so much! Just started Crystalline Conflict and this is massively helpful.
so good! thank you for all the great tips and explanations!
I'd like to see more chat options, like "baiting" or "guard crystal", "stay together" "don't chase" "stay with crystal". The communication is extremely limited and it's annoying.
I've had overwatch flashbacks doing this, playing a healer and just getting immediately stunlocked and turbokilled by a mcree and genji, sorry, Sam and ninja.
As a Roadhog, sorry, Warrior, I feel ya.
Peeling for the backline, either with the hook or Primal Rend, means I get more heals. Since half of WAR's skills scale with health, it's just win-win for the whole team. To my fellow Hog mains, remember to peel for heals.
Also, damned Genjis: Whenever they're low they just hide and slink off, so you can never catch them.
My best tip so far is to USE SIGNS
My win rate shot up when I started to proactively apply the #1 Sign on my targets.
Interesting you recommend it. Did it at some point but found out my team was commiting too hard to kill target 1 which was detrimental. I use target pings instead for it is more flexible: you can still pre ping someone but punish smo that is going too deep. With number signs people tend not to punish over extends. We are all sheeps
That was a fun guide! TY! I got my first CC win today with zero deaths, 4 assists and one kill on my SGE and it clicked! Basically fight skirmish mode, dash in and out is LOS, nuke the other side when they're clumped, otherwise avoid groups and hinder as much as possible while providing support to your own team!
Thank you!!! Very helpful, would love more guides and PvP videos :) I'm enjoying this mode a lot, it's really fun, but I'm not used to playing any PvP games, so I have a lot to learn and improve!
Don't forget tip #11, play In The Balance (Nald'thal's Alliance Raid theme) as your battle music.
Guaranteed 95% win rate if you do!
Wait is thus actually possible? lmao
That would kill my concentration and ears
HUGE tip about the cyclone thing. I didnt know guard blocked that enviroment thing. Ty!
Fantastic video. Can't wait to put these tips into practice.
There is a keybind for "target nearest enemy". I never hear anyone talk about using this for pvp, but it's my favorite way to target. I put I put it on "~" and alternate between that to keep the gcd rolling and the keeping the pressure up in q bug fight, using "tab" to redirect from guarding/mitigating enemies, and I use clicking for targeting specific enemies for securing kills or crowd control.
Excellent guide dude!! A lot of these I was starting to naturally understand while playing, but putting everything in a nice, concise video like this with great explanations is really making me want to jump back in and get better now that I have more of an idea of how to play.
Extremely helpful! Off to your next guide. =)
The sad thing I see is that people don’t regroup even if I ping. They just respawn and run straight into the enemy 5 man instead of waiting for our respawns. That being said the Warrior LB has clutched so many games for me: LB>AoE stun>Bloodwhetting>AoE finish it off with some Fellcleaves. Keep up the great videos!
Feel the same way about summoner lb its mean if the match hits overtime. If enemy team is on the crystal use titans bind into bahamut then rush in to x2 ifrit aoe while they are spamming heals then finish with bahamut. Can sometimes wipe 4 or even 5 enemys doing this.
Well depending on where the crystal is I do Jump in immediately and shield to buy time for the rest of the team to group up and stopping movement of the crystal, as soon as shield is about to run out I backflip the heck out of there.
It's down to situations and the clock
Thanks! Great vid!
By far the most aggravating things I’ve experienced from teammates so far are 1. what you mentioned, running around to chase kills while the enemy moves ahead with our crystal unchecked (at this point, pinging the “push the crystal!” prompt is part of my rotation…) - and 2. being completely unwilling to contest the crystal at all, even when numbers would be evenly matched or even outnumbered in our favour, and even when the enemy team is making rapid progress to our checkpoints and home base. So many of the ranged players, including healers, will spend the entire fight running around and away from people and trying to use distance as safety. That works well in frontline, but this is different. Sometimes even melee players do this when they get scared. When I see this from 2 or more players on my team, it almost always leads to our downfall, since they tend to leave the rest of us outnumbered by positioning themselves that way. I’m sure there are plenty of people who need the “don’t rush into obvious danger” tip emphasized, but at least from my personal experience in the last two days, I’d like to advise the opposite. xD The situation you explained about being one of the only ones alive, everyone else respawning and the other team is about to win - that happens a LOT!! I’ve had several cases of diving in to contest it, popping my ccs, lb, heals, and guard, knowing I will die, but buying enough time for my teammates to get there. Seen tanks do this really well too, but anyone is able to, not just them. I hope more people pay attention to when this is necessary, because it is so essential to turning the tides in this gamemode.
Very valid point, but at the same time ranged and healers are sorta supposed to be attacking from a distance. They're a lot squishier than melee and tanks. Staying out of range means people need to go out of their way to attack them, and doing that makes said person that does go out of their way vulnerable to being focused. Yes, you should push into the crystal if you have advantage in numbers, but on equal footing, you need to be out taking pot shots and CCing from a distance. There's a reason there's literally a distance requirement on certain ranged skills.
@@aoispreutt4558 I’m talking about the countless points in which they do need to be, and we end up losing because they stay back fighting one person, nowhere be seen. I play ranged as well, I’m not unfamiliar with the advantages of the playstyle, I just see way more ranged people not even understanding that the key point to win is tied to the crystal, not kills.
@@aoispreutt4558 I have an example from a match just a moment ago that demonstrates how ranged being in the action can actually really help to turn the tides. I, as machinst, and the white mage on our team took the job of pushing the crystal and staying in it during the checkpoints. Our melee dps and tank, taking note of this, baited the enemies slightly to the side of the crystal, meaning I and the healer could also easily attack them the whole time, and no enemies in the radius of the crystal. If they'd been paying more attention, they should have focused us down instead of fighting the melees, but even if that happened, our own melees could then come into the circle while I and the healer back away a short distance, ready to jump in if needed. I guess what I'm saying is that you're absolutely right, there's an advantage to staying at ranged. But it's absolutely key to know when you need to be able to jump in and secure your team's victory. Otherwise, the melees have no choice but to stay in the very small area of the crystal at all times, which limits their combat options.
I had a really annoying experience with our bard. The match as so good because crystal only made it to around 25 or 30 because it kept going back and forth. They were leading by a point or two. Overtime and it was just the two of us, I was in the crystal, playing RDM, we were able to kill 3 of the enemy because they were low on health when I used my LB and verflare. But at the same time I died as well. The brd was soooo free to move the crystal since they’re near it but in those few seconds, they didnt move at all. They just instantly locked on the enemy who just respawned and was running to the crystal. I lost a star and my win streak. :’)
Some great tips! One thing I would add, is taking time to fully understand your class's strengths and weaknesses. Know your KIT inside and out. Understand your most optimal burst sequences and ways to alter it to allow for more optimal escape related abilities.
Key example: Popping evasive jump 4-5 seconds before initiating with the twin dragon strike will half the amount of time you'll need to wait for the next opening. So once your go in and dump your burst, it is about when your Evasive jump will be back up for you to pull up and recuperate for the next burst window.
Plan your escape, and play smart. Just like PVE, the worst thing you can do is DIE
Another tip: you can setup your pvp specific hotbars outside of pvp instance while at Wolf's Den (I dunno if anyone else already posted this); you can pull pvp abilities via characther>pvp profile menus, I'm brand new to FF14 pvp and spent the first match i was spending the first part of the match frantically attempting to setup bars
I’m at work right now but this video made me so antsy to get home to try these adjustments!! Thank you!
Thanks that was helpful, great first guide 👍🏼
OMG THANK YOU!! Yes, TIP #1 is the most important one there is in my opinion. K/D ratio holds no sway on scoring in this pvp mode as far as I have seen. This guide was so much more helpful than the last video I just watched.
Excellent vid my good sir!
Very helpful thanks man!
Very cool tips! Thank you for sharing!
i found these really helpful! i'm not really looking to be super high rank Gamer Hours but i wanted to be more aware of what i was missing in the matches, i don't wanna just be a lump while i'm having fun!
this was great thank you!
A very helpful guide :) I found that just doing it makes things clearer each time. On the other hand, I cant do too many matches in one sitting; I guess I'm not made for that fast paced content but its fun none the less and the fact that its so short really helps. Sofar I've only done casual matches... dont yet dare to do ranked ^^°
using guard offensively with RDM is a great strategy, you would use corps a corp, then frazzle the entire enemy team then you use guard to get to safety. Not only now do they all have damage taken increased and their healing reduced while also surviving most attacks. This gives your team REALLY great power early on for the first 10 seconds of a fight
Good tips, thank you I will apply them :D
It's mentioned in the Crystalline Conflict webpage, but not explicitly in-game: pick up the buffs available in the Cloud Nine and Volcanic Heart when the arena events happen! During Turbulence, stand in the yellow circles to pick up black chocobo feathers to get a movement and attack speed buff. Similarly pick up the orange bomb cores left behind during the Eruption event which gives damage up (up to 10 stacks). Both of these buffs also fill your limit gauge. So many matches could be flipped around by picking up these buffs.
great tips, i would also add, as someone else said below HELP PEEL FOR YOUR HEALER. no we do not pocket heal, however depending upon which healer we are are playing we CAN be a very strong support for the team - and many teams will still tend to dogpile us.
Good guide!
I’m clueless in pvp but I watched this and put some of these tips to use and just won in match. Great job!
Something I found helpful regarding targeting. There is a targeting option for nearest enemy, map that to middle mouse button to quickly switch to someone. Far enemy’s click names, close middle mouse
This was actually REALLY good
Finally taking pvp seriously and I found this guide Very informative
Thank you 🙏🏾
Another tip, use sprint, is a toggle in this mode, not duration based, so everytime you are not in combat, use sprint, please
Yeah, it's super useful to keep toggling it when you're being chased, between using your heal and whatnot.
Great to use when in combat as well
I loved this guide! Would be interested in a guide on specific classes and pvp
Gained a sub! I really enjoyed this guide and love your coverage over the ff14 PvP.
One extremely helpful thing is to put marks on the healers in your team and also on high priority targets on the enemy team, like the healers or a highly skilled, high threat target and always focus them first and burst them down (if it's not a tank).
What I also like to do is to always put a mark on Dragoons because their LB is extremely dangerous if you failed to see it coming but can otherwise easily be mitigated/avoided.
Dragoon LBs are the worst thing I witnessed my teams always getting killed on day 1 while escaping Bronze Tier xD
I have lost so many matches where I've tried to hold the crystal, died and just watched helplessly while the enemy push the crystal in to our base while my team chase after one warrior on full health. Also one tip about guard, you can see a telegraph for the dragoon lb, so you can use it to stop yourself from getting maimed by it.
Thanks so much for the tips! I'm loving C.C.
Good tips!
This is really cool! Thanks for the guide. I'm good in Frontline and was good in Feast but I've sucked so much in CC lol
So yeah, more guides would be helpful, like a guide for the different maps and some job skills. Thanks again.
This was awesome! I just started to PvP and it’s really fun, I think I’m addicted 😂
Not sure if this is a tip or not but I think it will help contoller people cuz it helped me a bit. Having macros "/target " will target enemy 1 for enemy 2 and so forth. So when you or someone puts a marker, its much easier to hard target them.
All exceptionally good tips. Especially 5 & 10.
Loved the video, would watch individual class guides if you made them :)
Going here to supplement my levelling of my MNK and BLM thu pvp. I feel so called out haha! Thanks for the tips. I hope they translate to skill once I’m in game. Time to be deadweight!
I hope more ppl see this ty been enjoying cc pvp alot
thanks!
This is really solid advice all around. If nothing else, I can say to temper your expectations. It IS solo queue only and you can run into players pretty easily who may have no idea how to play this mode, or interest in really putting in that effort. Just try to have fun with it and don't get too frustrated. Anyone's bound to get annoyed if you're all the way up to Bronze/Silver/Gold etc 1 and then have a string of losses bringing you to the bottom of that bracket in a handful of matches.
I play with controller so I don't know if this is helpful, but the game has a variety of keybind options for targeting, including some you might not know about. There's "Target Nearest Enemy" "Target Last Enemy" and "Target Enemy Attacking You". Unfortunately they don't cycle so you have to de-target to target something else. There's also one that many might not know about because it's technically a controller input, which is the "Confirm" binding under the System tab.
Confirm will target characters close to you, with a complex priority system based on your character's direct line of sight and what kinds of targets are on your screen. It's hard to explain but I find it quite intuitive, at least on controller, as it targets whatever is directly in front of your character, so it's quite easy to predict what it will target. It will also exclude certain targets based on your targeting settings so if you set your targeting mode to "enemies only" it will not target party members.
sharing this with my discord buds.
As warrior you can open with a 3-5 player stun and immediately after pop guard after the stun falls off ,everyones first reaction after the stun is to retaliate with bursting and you can bait their biggest damage out early game, also puts your team in a early game advantage.
Personally, I found Target Nearest Enemy to be pretty helpful in PVP, particularly for melee jobs.
Diamond 2 here, I would say it is occasionally beneficial to chase 1 or 2 people down with low health in order to stagger enemy spawns which is great for keeping the fights 5 v 4 or 5 v 3.
the thumbnail didnt lie this tips are fire!
omg! the hud is under duty! Thank you!
For someone who doesn't pvp much, this is quite helpful. I have to try to remember this.
Only tip you need: Hope you get good rng to get the good teammates
Amazing tips! I can't wait to jump back into a match so I can panic and forget everything you just taught me! 😂
Seriously though, the HUD tip alone is going to help a lot. It was frustrating not knowing how to configure that. Great point about the Elixir, too. I was a bit puzzled about how to use that effectively.
Wish he had shown footage of the wind thing he was talking about, I haven't gotten that map yet so it's hard for me to know where to put it on my screen.
Your tips helped me out alot just thought you should know, especially the focus on yourself part and targeting (ESPECIALLY the targeting tip why is FFXIV tab targeting so bad omg) now I got past gold and am on crystal rank now.. Subbed!
haha so true i been in so many bad parties that go for the glory, thanks for the tips i hope everyone watches this x
This guy rules. Thanks for your videos
Could also add play the meta jobs as well in the guide there is a clear sign wich jobs are way better then the rest atm
another tip is to try and help others who may be new to pvp in ffxiv, giving advice after the game or to your team if your in a static will help with confidence and can improve others way of playing
Is that Dragoon in the thumbnail a dyed version of the Heavensward Job Gear or is that a new gear set?
Tip #11; Play a ranged job if you're new, much easier to not be totally out of position when you don't have all the fancy movement abilities the melees do!
As a summoner main still trying to learn the new PVP abilities thats good to know Xd
Brilliant list of tips for a lot of people
That has the be my biggest pet peev with ffxiv pvp. the tab targeting being so awful.
I'm not sure why they don't have more distance based options that would fix probably 90% of peoples complaints.
The guard tip is mega. i always find i'm an oh shit guarder need to fix that!
Went on a 5 win streak right after finishing this video, all I can say is very good video!!
Bronze 2 to gold now!
My favorite part was my first game where I didnt have the hot bars set up because i’m oblivious so I just stood there the whole time.
The pvp so far for me has felt so RNG based on whos in your team, every single game for me has been always really one sided, either my team will just destroy or be getting destroyed.
Sadly.. I love the new pvp mode but it's a matter of grinding through the RNG.
Me and a friend noticed it's around 40% win rate
Guess we gonna play 1000 matches and hope to climb the top 100 at the end of the season ((
Welcome to any ranked pvp game
This will be an issue always in casual. But as someone who finally got to Silver after three days of trying then proceeded to get to Platinum in less than an hour, the problem is less pronounced if you rank up.
@@guitalex2005 silver to plat in an hour 🧢
@@guitalex2005 Congratz!
I actually spent ~3h from bronze to gold, but 2 days to Platinum ))
how did you enable the class icons next to the enemys hp bar above their head D:?
Great tips, thanks. ^^ I've only tried out casual mode, but I've absolutely noticed the issue of all my team mates leaving to chase down one person. XP idk if people simply dont realize a tank is just as screwed if theyre faced with too many people? I play WAR for my static, just stuck with it for pvp, it's great but it needs attentive teammates who will capitalize on my CCs or go after the person I drag into our group with chains (usually the healer or ranged lol). I tried SAM, but pretty much the other team just focuses you for immediate murder so GL 😅 AST was ok, but basically useless. There's only 2 heals every 30 seconds and some useless cards and your teammates play like idiots because they think healers can still carry lol.
8:53 I'm sorry but i failed to understand this tip.."unit frame" ? what part does that refer to? is it the health part above the character head?
Eveything you mentioned is really helpful so thank you for much for the video!
The most important part about the Elixir is that you get 4 more Recuperates. This makes Elixir the most important ability. The strategy of using CC then retreating to use Elixir becomes a viable option when most of your team is alive.
This might sound like weird advice, but I think one of the most important things people need to deprogram out of themselves for Crystal Conflict is the instinct to go all in on trying to kill supports as soon as possible. I'm not saying to never go in on them if its advantageous, but rather I'm talking about those players that never stop targetting or letting up on a support player, even if its not particularly advantageous or worse yet...there's more vulnerable or squishier targets that are nearby, or one that maybe other members have locked down. I've been in quite a few games where some players just hyper-focus on the support players all the time and that's just not now Crystal Conflict works because everyone is essentially a dps. (although I'll add that hyper fixating on healers allows them to turn what healing utility they have fully on themselves + Recuperate + Guard and make amazing resource drain distractions.)
I'm not saying to never go in on supports, but more that supports aren't always super high priority targets that everyone has to drop everything to go after. The enemy team losing say, a SAM, a DRG, or a RDM to name a few can be just as devastating...if not more so in some cases, than a support.
I know its a difficult mentality to get out of your head because its so natural to assume that the supports is/are the enemy teams' Achilles heel to take out at all costs, but thats just not how it works in this pvp.
after complete 6.1 MSQ ,
my brain can't stop repeat this : "water , water , foath and foam" in jp voice
What's that circle on players standing at the wolves den? Does it do anything? How do you get it?
Any tip for controller users regarding the tab targeting?
my biggest thing for new people is - please protect your healers! and for healers, please learn to line of site around corners. it's best if you just hug corners tightly and just pop in and out of them to heal. it forces opposing team to have to physically walk around the walls and be in very vulnerable spots to target you.
The concept of handholding in PvP games tend to be something not exist since ppl kinda want this and that without actually trying to learn it.
If this PvP teach something, that would be how ppl react so you can adjust your play style to suit it. Be flexible and quick on opportunities. That’s what a good Pvper should be.
The ceiling of this mode is technically on the roof since you need to play fast and effectively. There is that gap in skill here if grouping become a thing later on.
Yo anyone know exactly what setting makes the pvp enemy names always show, I turned a bunch of stuff off for aesthetics and now can't figure out what to turn back on
Tip for Dancers : Always choose your dance partner before the match. Your dash move changes some of your attacks after using it, and unlocks Saber Dance. A strong aoe move, also your LB move charms enemies and any attacks on charmed people will keep the debuff up.
And as others say use the quick chat commands to tell your teammates new info or to stay back until all of you regroup. - Happy PVPing.
Or don't play dnc at all tbh, dnc and gnb are very undertuned

Honestly dragoon and summoner are stronger, but I still enjoy my main of Gunbreaker outside of PVP.
@@LazyVanny they did a good job of making all jobs fun imo, just some are not the strongest for ranked play
If only PVP had a tab targeting system like Dissidia NT. Where it goes down from your target down the player list. So if you target the top player and want to go to the person at the bottom, you can either tab target down 4 times or shift tab 1 up. Just that would make things much more consistent.
Also, the respawn timer is garbage. 10 seconds to respawn, 10 seconds to regain control of your character.
Yeah, 10 seconds is pretty long and punishing. I'd day make it 6 seconds, BUT each death extends the timer by 2 seconds. The idea is to make sure people can't just chain suicide in to stall forever, but it feels bad to lose a fight exclusively because the enemy got their first kill on my team after they died for the 3rd time. Those moments feel very bad because then we lose due to an overly punishing timer when we more than earned our place as winners for the match
@@hellfrozenphoenix13 The timer isn't the problem. The problem is that, after the timer expires, you load up back on the platform, so a black screen for 2 or 3 seconds, then your character loads in and takes another 4ish seconds before being able to move again. I find this as the only big issue with PVP that NEEDS to be fixed. Tab targeting is whatever. But fix these god fuck death timers please.
