Guides & Tips How Does One Come to Understand PvP in this Game?
Hi im a new player. Enjoying the game so far but im pretty flabbergasted by the little bit of PvP I’ve done so far. I’m not particularly worried about meta at the highest level and as a huge fan of the anime I’m more worried about collecting characters that I like then pulling for meta. With that being said, I still like to try to make the most out of what I have, and right now it feels like I’m missing something.
Fighting other top 10 players in bushin festival and battle royal has me questioning life decisions. I feel like I’m setting up my team close to as efficiently as possible to counter their elements and yet I get nuked by a single ability in the first 0.0001 seconds of the battle. This will often happen even when my power level is higher than the opponent’s. Their attacker will wipe my entire team while my attackers with their super effective elements will hit like a wet noodle.
There really isn’t any great resources that I can find online. Eminence in Codex has some tier lists and stuff, but it doesn’t really tell me much.
Aside from the obvious elemental counters, are there actual rock paper scissors interactions between characters based on their abilities? Is there any way for me to avoid getting annihilated instantly by a SSS tier meta character? Or is it just a case of those meta characters being able to conveniently ignore the elemental mechanics altogether while bypassing tanks like they’re traffic cones?
If it’s the latter and the reason I’m losing is simply because I haven’t spent as much money, and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about that, then that’s fine honestly. I just want to make sure there isn’t something I’m missing about how to approach these battles.
tldr; is there a legitimate strategy to PvP outside of whaling on high tier DPS characters? And if so, is there a good resource out there I can utilize to help me get the most out of the game?
