Aksis vs. BattleStrats - A Retrospective

Introduction

BattleStrats has conquered Aksis. He tested the abilities of each of our players and the effectiveness of our team's communication. We passed this test but there is still much to learn. Our three main areas of focus are:

1. What did we do well?
2. Where did we stumble?
3. How can we improve for the future?

The Plus Points

The biggest takeaway is that the clan is improving. We managed to kill Aksis on our first try with 5 players in the team had never killed Aksis before!

The main takeaways from that final successful run are:

• We communicated empowerment really well
• Everyone had the right gear/abilities to take down Captains
• We had consistent slams on Aksis (which maybe a function of us not being tired)
• Team DPS was solid enough for us to clutch us through missing a damage phase
• People stayed alive

I prefer editing videos this way rather than faffing around with other tools such as the SHAREfactory on PS4. By doing this directly you can always quickly share whole clips from your PS4 without getting completely dragged out of the game :)

I've been having a load of nostalgic fun with it and I was inspired to start recording videos for it. After some quick searching I managed to stumble upon this absolutely awesome screen capture application: Shou

The app is meant for live streaming as well but I find that it is a very easy to use to record your screen to your local SD card.
