What are some battleground conquest tips for Aradena: Battlegrounds' Open Beta test?

In preparation for Aradena: Battlegrounds' Open Beta test, we can learn from the experience of top players such as A.G.Kyura* who participated in the game's Closed Beta test.

• Choose your deck based on the attacking or defending positions of your opponents' troops.

• Position your troops based on their strengths. For example, Archers should be placed on high ground to have a clear view of your opponents' troops, whereas golems should be placed beside your opponent's troops to attack them from the side.

• Think and act fast as you only have around 10-15 minutes to achieve the end goal of battles which is to capture the control point.
