    That is... staggeringly low, almost insulting. In Crystalline Conflict, on average the match lasts 5min discounting overtime, prep time and queue time, giving you 900 S-EXP for winning and 700 S-EXP for losing.

    If I read the descriptions on Frontlines right, they can last up to 20min without overtime. For even the 1st Place to be worth the input regarding Series EXP, it would need to net like 3600-4000 S-EXP for 1st place, going down to like 3200-3500 for 2nd Place and about 3000 for 3rd Place, assuming a match went for 18-20min.

    1500 for first place is paltry.

    Ill await your results, but honestly this is just brutal. It should not need to take an avid Frontline player this much longer than a Crystalline Conflict player to reach Rank 25, the inpututput ratio is completely messed up.

    Just to clarify, Frontlines matches do not go into overtime. They will stop at 20 mins and the GC with the highest score will win, even if noone has hit the goal.

    I know, that's why I said "without overtime rather than "discounting overtime" in the case of CC.

    Frontlines is just not a feasible option if you are trying to really grind series levels efficiently. The glam coffer tier requires 7.5k exp per series level. I clocked it yesterday when I was finishing my last levels, and it took me roughly 1 hour to earn one level on that tier in CC. Frontlines in no way can reach the same amount of exp in the same amount of time. Even the most perfect scenario of instant queues, hard stomping and winning each game, would fall short (most likely).

    I don't need to grind it efficiently, I just need to grind it enough

    I mean, yeah. You're not wrong. I actually forgot how much CC gave, so I thought FL was a higher return but turns out it's not. ANYWHO! Results are basically as I listed. I enlisted a couple friends to help out. We queued individually for 3 matches each. Just the basic queue, no roulette queue. I would do more but I am currently sick, so I put in the amount I had the energy for. Might try more later because...there's something I need to investigate. BUT! Yeah, image below has each post match 'reward' of wolf marks and S-EXP.

    I just got a 1st, 2nd, 3rd. One friend got a 1st and two 2nd places. And the other got a 1st and two 3rd places. 1st is 1.5k, 2nd is 1,250, and 3rd is just 1k. WEIRDLY friend A got a 2nd place that gave double rewards and he has no idea how. That's what I want to look into. But overall, yeah, FL could give more for how much longer it is. I will say, out of the three of us, I had the 'longest' match at 12 minutes and 15 seconds. Every other match was around 10 to 11 minutes for all 3 of us. But, match times CAN drag out or shorten depending on the map.



    Hope that helps. Hope yall have a great day. Cheers.
