- They can play the matches with their friends and squad. Winning becomes easier.
- Remember that, people may purchase extra Battle Tickets from the Aeos Emporium for 200 Aeos Coins. Though they may buy it an unlimited number of times, do not forget that you may only collect 25 Trainer Battle Coins per day (excluding the daily 5 Battle Coins for logging in), irrespective of the missions you complete daily. Hence, only use Tickets as long as you don’t reach the 25 Battle Coin mark.
- For a few days, use up the energy boost tanks, earn extra energy and exchange it for Fashion Items, instead of Boost Emblems. The Fashion Items option includes x320 Aeos Coins as a reward. You might need these coins to purchase Battle Tickets.
- For higher difficulties, it is best to run equip score-stacking Held Items like Attack Weight and Sp. Atk. Specs to get ahead in stats. Since the enemy A.I.is not aware of this mechanic, you will have an easier time reaching the full stacks, even during the early game!
- Remember that, when the match time reaches the 5-minute (5:00) mark, the opposing team will automatically surrender if your team is leading by 300+ points. However, if the number is not met at that time, the opposing team will surrender when the lead reaches 500+ points. So, try to have a head start and score plenty of goals as soon as possible.
