Despite its flaws, I had a lot of fun. Had no idea I can win on the offensive attack team by just running through (I had a clear path at the end), let alone defense blade can cut bombs and people in 1 slash like the thumbnail.
To stall, you can also bomb your own chests and they won't get damaged. The person who gets a chest automatically wins and exits out. It takes about 5 wins at 200 coins to get a character, so it is a bit arduous as story mode/offline don't get you coins (you do get some for losing online at least).
It also seems like less chatter happens online (or maybe the ps5 improved or it was patched from my previous ps4 vid), which helps. Just wish graded battles were for all modes/times (it ended 10AM EST for only castle today where you press a button to switch teams before joining).
