Weekly Event Guide Series - Team Vanquish!

Power Team Vanquish

Power Team Vanquish is a Weekly Event in the Multiplayer Terminal that is a variant of Team Vanquish. It is the same as regular Team Vanquish, except that sometimes a Crystal Dog appears around the map. The player that consumes the Crystal Dog gets some godly powers for about 15 seconds, including being immune and taking no damage from attacks, dealing double damage with all of their attacks and abilities and moving around faster. You do not lose your abilities and become vulnerable while holding this Crystal Dog, unlike in the free-roam regions, so always try to pick it up for awesome powers! The Crystal Dog only has about 3 spots where it can appear in each map, and an icon will appear where the Crystal Dog is going to be, and there is a short delay before the Crystal Dog actually appears there.

"What's in a Crystal Dog anyway? Well, only UNLIMITED POWER! (Disclaimer: Unlimited power only lasts a limited time, some exceptions may apply."

Weekly Event Tips

This mode is identical to Team Vanquish, except that there is a Crystal Dog that sometimes spawns in a specific position on the map, which can grant you really awesome powers! Here are tips that can help you perform better during this event:

• Try to work with your team where possible, as this is a Team Vanquish mode and teamwork is still important. Try to prevent the enemy team from collecting the Crystal Dog by picking it up quickly, or getting an ally to collect it before an enemy can.
• If you know the locations of where the Crystal Dog are, you will have an advantage in collecting it. Perhaps stay in about the middle location so it will be relatively easy to grab it quickly, or in another specific location if you think it will appear there. 
• If an ally collects the Crystal Dog, you can follow them for a layer of protection, as they cannot be damaged, and you can assist them in getting even faster vanquished. If an enemy collects it, start getting out of there, as you cannot damage them and they can vanquish you easily, so try not to let them vanquish you.
• While you have the Crystal Dog, you have some options of what you can do. You can go and chase down enemies and vanquish them with ease, you could revive fallen allies (as you are invincible and can easily revive them) while shooting down enemies that are in your sight, or even use your speed to get to another location, like back to your team (but try to vanquish enemies that get in your way). But you can do pretty much whatever you want while you have it.
• Try and keep your attacks and abilities until you possess the Crystal Dog for when you pick it up, if you intend to collect it anyway, this way, you have more options for vanquishing and catching up to enemies. Because you have a limited time of godly powers when you collect the Crystal Dog, you want to make most of this time (15 seconds), which is why it may also be a good idea to wait until someone else draws near to pick it up (but make sure you stand close enough to it).

Weekly Challenges

Here are the Weekly Challenges for this event:

1. Win a Match (10 Rainbow Stars).
2. Get a Vanquish While Invincible (20 Rainbow Stars).
3. Get 3 Vanquishes While Invincible in a Single Spawn (30 Rainbow Stars).

Weekly Challenge Tips

1. Win a Match.

• If you are placed in a match in progress, and your team is winning, you can easily get a match win for this challenge. However, try and help your team out wherever you can to secure that win.
• The more often you and your team collects the Crystal Dog, the more you deny the enemy team from being able to use it and the more damage and vanquishes you and your team can dish out to your enemies.
• Stick with your team whenever possible to improve your chances of winning. Your team can get vanquishes more easily, and it will be easier to revive fallen allies. Having at least a single healer on your team can also be really beneficial.

2. Get a Vanquish While Invincible.

• This does require you to get a vanquish with the Crystal Dog active. The Crystal Dog only has about 3 specific locations on each map where it can appear. Try to memorise where these locations are for each map, so that you can quickly collect it before anyone else when it appears.
• If you get to the Crystal Dog first, you could wait until someone else appears before you collect it. If an ally appears, you can collect it first then go out to try and get a vanquish. If an enemy appears, quickly collect it before they do and try to vanquish them.
• Try and save as much attacks and abilities as you can before collecting the Crystal Dog, so you can use them to get to an enemy and vanquish them more quickly.

3. Get 3 Vanquishes While Invincible in a Single Spawn.

• This does require you to get 3 vanquishes in a single spawn with the Crystal Dog. Try to analyse the 3 locations where the Crystal Dog can appear on the map, and try to remain in that area. When the Crystal Dog is about to appear, head straight towards its location and try to collect it before anyone else. If you have this knowledge of its locations, you will have a distinct advantage with collecting it before anyone else.
• If you do not get 3 vanquishes with a single use of the Crystal Dog, you can continue your streak after your Crystal Dog powers have ended. So perhaps find a hidden location nearby and wait for the Crystal Dog to appear again and try to collect it again. Alternatively, if you get to the Crystal Dog, you can wait until an enemy or ally starts approaching before you collect it.
• If you get vanquished during this challenge, you will lose your streak. However, if you are revived, your vanquish streak will continue, so allow yourself to be revived in this situation. You can also retreat if your health is falling to prevent being vanquished. While it may not be necessary if you do not have a vanquish streak, this is Team Vanquish anyway so take that into consideration.

And that is what there is to know about Power Team Vanquish! 😇
