Phase Setup
§ Breakdown [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

The formation-building phase between regroup and the next push. All five players need sightlines onto the same target, a workable crossfire angle, and a guaranteed retreat route. It looks unglamorous, but 80% of fight outcomes are decided here.

When to Use [JA only — English translation pending]

リスポーンから合流した直後、または前Fight勝利後の押し出し前。常にUlt状況の共有とセット。

Failure Modes [JA only — English translation pending]

Stagingが揃う前にタンクが先行 = 4v5の悪い形でFight開始。逆にStagingに時間をかけすぎて時間切れ/敵が先に陣形を組み直す。
