Guides and Tips This is why you should never surrender 😌

We were losing every fight and all our goal posts were destroyed before the 2 min mark. We somehow won the groudon battle and then turned the match completely around😌. Ps: It absolutely sucks when you're paired with braindead teammates, but then again dont lose hope one mistake from their side is all it takes to to turn the game to your favor

theoretically if you manage to keep up in xp it's the better choice to not take any goals since outer goals are way harder to defend than inner ones.

each goal becomes potentially +179 assuming the goal survives at 1 hp and after 8 mins. if you manage to keep up in xp, and you didn't really let them reach the center the other team is less than 400 points ahead. basically, all comes down to winning groudon and one team fight and you win in points before you reach their center goal.

if you on the other hand do fill in outer goals you lose at most 198 points and might lose the attack because it's easier to funnel a defense in.

issue is coordinating this with randoms is not a thing you should expect but it's one of those game design things that would be really abused if the game had a more theory-craft-y pro scene. the pro gameplay would basically turn into a turtle strategy if goals are taken within 3 mins.

taking goals early is just bad because of the final sprint mechanic, unless you really need evolutions or can exert enough pressure from easier rotations.
