Long versus short battles -- impact on crystal income

[bdeck 0]

Do longer battles make sense if you're looking to get income?

 

I recently played a capture the flag match where the endpoint was set at 100 captures. It took a long time and I joined the match halfway through. The battle fund at the end was a little more than 3000 crystals, and the winning side got payouts of roughly 700 to 300 crystals, depending on rank. If you're looking for income, does it make sense to play such long battles, or will you see similar benefit from getting quick payouts in shorter battles?

 

Alternatively, should you ignore battle and go for crystal chests? Some maps drop multiple chests in close proximity, and a speedy hull could lead to lots of grabs, potentially.

If you want my opinion play 100 kills Polygon DM where your rank is the highest allowed in the battle. Depends but with the right equipment you can easily win. Average time they take? 20-30 minutes. Average earning? 300-800 crystals for a well conquered first place, plus a gold that would eventually fall.

20-40 minute battles are what I only play. Anything more I must have a 100% chance of winning. Anything less maybe, but I won't earn that much.

300-800 crystals? Not at his rank. For Warrants it's probably 350 max, and at his rank things would be worse.

Don't forget those Crystal Boxes. At his rank Crystal Boxes matter more than the battle fund.

I play 100 kills Polygon DM most of the times. Most of the I get more than 400 crystal. It doesn't take a lot of time. Sometimes I get golds too :D.

Some good Combinations in Polygon DM

 

Twins+Mammy=1st place in the battle and pwns every one

I was referring to what I earn with my other account 2nd lieutenant in fact.

I wish Desert was as active as it used to be; those DM battles brought you a lot of crystals.

100 ctf can attract druggies who steal the fund. alls fare in love, war and Tanki.

 

Polygon is good for crystal farming - on DM battles. DM is considered by most players to be best for crystal earning.

 

My battle choice and tactics depend on my mood - crystal farming - sniping - ctf - DM what ever is most fun at the time.

 

The ultimate thrill - Gold Box farming. Get 1000 crystals in 3 seconds. See it grab it.
