Menace in the Middle's Map

Rules[edit | edit source]

  • Team Match
  • Time Limit: 5:00
  • All Characters start at Lv1.
  • When a player is defeated, they will respawn after 10 seconds. Player points are not deducted for dying.
    • If the player is defeated by another player, they will respawn with their level increased by 5, type level increased by 1.
    • If the player is defeated by a creature or a map obstacle, they will respawn at their current level and type level.
  • There are multiple Energy Poles present on the map.
    • Pressing Circle with the Energy Pole highlighted will initiate capturing.
    • It takes 8 seconds to capture an Energy Pole.
    • Moving out of the glowing circle around the Energy Pole will cancel and reset the capturing process.
    • Getting hit with an attack will not cancel the process, unless the player is knocked out of the glowing circle.
    • Another player on the opposing team is able to initiate capturing while a player is capturing. Doing so will cancel the current capturing process, and start a capturing process for the intruding player.
    • Capturing an enemy Energy Pole takes twice the normal time: it takes 8 seconds to first go back to neutral (which deducts points from the enemy team), and then another 8 seconds for the capturing process.
  • The map initially starts with 5 Energy Poles, 3 small and 2 large.

Other Notes[edit | edit source]

it's possible for the Lv35 Svaltuses to drop A-rank weapons, which will be completely unusable, as all types have their type proficiencies capped out at B-rank.
