So, Rival Wings in 13 Days. . . How About A Little More Info?

[Shirolumi]

I think we will get a dev blog post sometime next week, and a tease of the reward as well!

A JP player shared some info from a stream over one of the PvP discords last night.

There'll be fixed cannons to mount near each team's core for defense.
The minions ("Automata" was the term used) are similar to the ones seen in the Antitower, and basically come in 2 types; high HP melee fighters, and long distance casters
There's a Power Generator as a strategic point; whoever occupies it generates more energy for their team
And "Tension", from what it sounds like, is a stacking party-wide, Battle High-like buff. Similar to the Feast's medal mechanic however, when a player (or party?) with Tension is taken down, half the stacks go to the other team that got them.

That cruise chaser... now I want a mount of that thing so bad :P

So I would guess the mechs need the energy from the Power Generators in order to move and perform actions? Sounds like you need to have 1 party on guard duty on the generators through the whole match.

Very interesting. You have a little Secure match going on the side while the rest of the players concentrate on towers.

(I have never played a MOBA before)

I will just sit in a cannon and shoot stuff and laugh at them if they die.

Tension is the opposite of Battle Fever, I like that part already.

Oh these were the exact same ones I got my info from

I'd posted them in an older thread prior to the newer one with the pics, lol.

SE, may I ask why there was more information given in what seems to be a Japanese-only broadcast than the Lodestone preview?

Again, I'm sure full details will be available in the patch notes, but with a week to the day before Rival Wings releases, the preview doesn't tell us any more than what's been previously posted on the patch 4.1 website. Players have shared more info on it than you have at this point.

Not quite the best way to build hype for a new mode if you ask me. . .

This is prime example why i was so worried about this mode having a turrets and tank, those things do not belong to pvp in any form and this is the reason why. Looks like only fun thing in there is camping generator while doing small skirmish fights around it, rest of the map seems to be chaos with turrets,mammets and tanks.
