Foreword

The purpose of this guide is to introduce new RTA players to common PVP concepts and detail the typical roles that form key team building considerations when assembling PVP team comps.

There is a wealth of game knowledge hidden within the Counterside PVP gamemode that gives the game incredible replayability. With every weekly reset and a fresh set of bans, RTA opens itself up to exciting experimentation to uncover the new “meta”. This process can involve:

  • Identifying and understanding the value of important RTA-oriented units
  • Understanding the relevant unit interactions on a given week
  • Researching your opponents’ comps and revising your own comp

It can be difficult figuring out if what you’re doing is actually working. Between execution error, your opponent actively trying to undermine your efforts, and resource gaps masking otherwise bad decisions, there are numerous factors that can obfuscate more detailed analysis.

As a big fan of Counterside’s unique PVP experience, I am writing this guide to help new players overcome that initial hurdle and segue them into the gamemode.

If you have any questions or feedback, please don't be afraid to dm Yiggins who is the author of the guide Yiggles#8990.
