What are some battleground conquest tips for Aradena: Battlegrounds' Open Beta test?

In preparation for Aradena: Battlegrounds' Open Beta test, we can learn from the experience of top players such as A.G.Kyura* who participated in the game's Closed Beta test.

• Choose your deck based on the attacking or defending positions of your opponents' troops.

• Position your troops based on their strengths. For example, Archers should be placed on high ground to have a clear view of your opponents' troops, whereas golems should be placed beside your opponent's troops to attack them from the side.

• Think and act fast as you only have around 10-15 minutes to achieve the end goal of battles which is to capture the control point.

Now that the gates to the battlegrounds of Aradena are open to all, it's time for a free-for-all battle conquest in the land of Aradena.

*As of mid-June 2023, A.G.Kyura is ranked second in the all-time list in Avocado DAO's Quests Leaderboard.
