"Playing the negative state," is a tactic favored by members of certain nations.
Even if their side loses, as long as your Mech Pilot ends up with a negative condition, it will be hard for them to perform at their best in the subsequent matches.

Under these rules, where each competitor can participate in at most two matches, any negative condition affecting a strong participant could determine the outcome of an entire match.
Two equally significant concerns weigh heavily on the hearts of every Bauhinia Republic citizen.
