When viewing battle reports you will be able to track your wins and losses. While in this view some agent names will show and some agents will not show. If the agent name is showing you can click on that agent and view some information about the setup of that agent, such as what weapons were used, and so on. Looking down the far left column, if you see a symbol like crossed swords this means that you were the 'attacker' and the other agent was being run by the AI. If you see a symbol like a shield, this means that you were the 'defender' and the AI was controlling your team.Note: This is what is meant by 'attacking team' and 'defensive team'. Previously, the same team and gear were used for attack and defense. Now, you can select different teams and gear, under the relevant tab. The AI can use your defending team at any time, even when you are fighting with your attacking team. |
At the bottom tray, displays your current league, rating, attacks, and the PVP Bonus Spin.
