Key locations such as outposts and Allagan ruins can be identified by flags, indicating the Grand Company that currently controls them. At the start of each match, all locations will be unoccupied. By remaining in close proximity to the flags at these locations, players can occupy them to improve their team's tactical rating. However, these areas may turn neutral should enemies come within proximity of a flag controlled by your team, or vice versa.
Additionally, players standing within key locations will be buffed with the status Sheer Will, greatly increasing damage dealt.

A team's tactical rating will increase by a fixed amount upon claiming key locations, and will continue to increase over time for every location that remains occupied by their Grand Company.

Occupying these locations will prove key to victory, as this greatly affects your tactical rating.

By defeating players from opposing teams, players can increase their tactical rating while at the same time decreasing that of the opposing team.

Weaponry will appear on the field periodically, and by challenging them appropriately, you can earn tactical points for your team and increase your Battle High status.

Interceptor Drone

Interceptor drones are small enemies that engage surrounding players with automatic cannons before self-detonating after an allotted time has passed.
Defeating them will distribute tactical points proportional to damage contribution and raise the rating of the party that contributed the most.

• When interceptor drones are deployed, a golden interceptor drone α may appear.
• Defeating these rare enemies will result in greater rewards than regular interceptor drones.

Interceptor Command Systems

Interceptor command systems are medium-sized enemies that cannot be targeted and attack continuously after deployment.
By swiftly absorbing attacks according to its indicators, players can reduce damage taken, earn tactical points, and increase rating.

Interceptor Nodes

Interceptor nodes are large enemies that indiscriminately target surrounding players with a variety of attacks.

• Ground Interference

Every time this enemy's HP is reduced to zero, it will gain one point. When it has accrued five points, it will begin to flash, indicating that it may be defeated.
Teams will accrue tactical points according to damage contribution each time the interceptor node's HP is reduced to zero.
