Gambit is fun. Sins of the Past is great for mote farming. Seeing tons of shotgun invaders but not many snipers. Agree this needs a private match feature.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I think the strat may be assigning two people out of the four to be mote collectors so they collect above ten faster and can quickly send medium blocks over. The other two roll with them and cover them and they all kill ads. If everyone just picks them up willy nilly they are spread too thin to get medium blocks quickly.

I had a lot of luck in another match just now invading with sins of the past and firing rockets at them. Got a triple kill. Also, perfect paradox and shield matching with an energy weapon is real good.

It’s a really cool and fun game mode but I don’t think I totally understand all the mechanics inside the middle and latter game.

If your gonna be the invader or you didn't masterwork it, no.
If you're gonna be the mote collector and it's been masterworked, yes.

Gambit is Good

Running Titan with Skullfort, Paradox, Solemn Hymn (AR w/Grave Robber), and Wardcliff. It's good for add clear if I can remember not to run into the tougher enemies that don't die on shoulder charge.

I think you're on to something with the dedicated collectors

some other stuff:

-each team has a bar at the top that keeps track of the motes banked. the grey bit is motes collected but not banked; if the enemy team has a lot of grey that's a good time to invade if you can
-the primeval will weaken at least once a bit after it spawns. I'm not sure if it'll continue to weaken, but save your supers/heavy/special for after it weakens once
-invasion portals open at 25/50 motes banked. Once a team has summoned a primeval, the other teams portal will repeatedly open very quickly
-killing an enemy as an invader while the primeval is up will heal the primeval; don't invade an enemy when their primeval is at full health, wait until they've damaged it some in order to waste their efforts
-this healing will apply if you die to an npc while an invader is present, I'm pretty sure. So stay very safe while being invaded

golden gun can be really good while invading, especially if they're distracted by a primeval

To clarify on this, you get a buff called Primeval Slayer shortly after your Primeval spawns and it continues to stack the longer your Primeval is up. The higher your stacks, the more damage you do to the Primeval.

I don't think its related to killing the Primeval Envoys, but one of the tooltips said that the Envoys give the Primeval a damage resistance buff while they're up.

In other words if the warlock on your team isn't wearing Lunafaction Boots for the Primeval stage on round one, yell at them until they do.

The best part of Gambit is definitely when 2 members of your team drop and you can spend the next 15 minutes just jacking off in the spawn.

I’ve had a lot of fun with my buds in Gambit. It’s too early to know if it will hold up over time but it was a blast this morning.

Pro strat for the pregame emote room: all four of your team turns your back to the enemy and you stand there motionless. Give them nothing.

The envoys and the stacking buff are different things. The buff boosts damage output over time, the envoys increase the boss’s resistance. It’s almost always worth killing the envoys first so that you can burst thru the HP pool of the boss once you have enough stacks.

Stupid idea I’m going to try later: invade as a Sentinel, pop a bubble on the enemy’s primeval, emote, peace out.

I expect this to go poorly but it will be hilarious.
