ONLINE MULTIPLAYER TIPS

[Rizzie-Nino]

Recently got into a group of really nice persons trying to get Predator Paragon, Clutch and all the other trophies. We all managed to get it, it took us a week or so. Based on that experience I decided to share some tips and tricks we learned there. 

1. ALWAYS HAVE AND FOLLOW THE PLAN! 
Why are you guys playing? Farming for XP? Wins on different maps? Trying "Clutch" or "I like those odds"? Going for "Predator Paragon"? 
It does not matter which really, but plan the things you guys want to do BEFORE the match and make sure everybody in the party knows what to do. Don't go rogue doing whanever you want or you might find yourself alone with no one wanting to join your party. 

2. USE A HEADSET AND JOIN A VOICE-CHAT FOR PREDATOR PARAGON (AND CLUTCH)
This is the hardest trophy and it is specially difficult to coordinate through text messages. Be disciplined. Stay where you are supposed to be. Don't go crazy doing random takedowns. You will ruin the match and void the trophy.
In our experience, the best way to obtain this is to have the heroes perform the follow takedowns: INVERTED, SILENT, LEDGE, GRATE, GEL, BEATDOWN. You can get this trophy with either Batman or Robin, and both can get it on the same match, how? Batman go, and do the six takedowns. The thugs/elites respawn and kill Bats and Robin until the Bat-meter goes down. Robin go and takedown the goons. Trophy unlocked for two players... In one match. 
Another useful tip is to set up early where every player will be: Player 1, will always stay bellow a gargoyle so heroes can do Inverted Takedown, Player 2 will always stay close to a ledge, Player 3 will stay below the stairs to receive a Silent Takedown when no one's watching... and etc. This REALLY helps, it reduces errors and accidents dramatically and makes the whole process go on a little faster. We managed to have 8 players get predator in less than an hour by doing this after some failed attempts.
Also if you are playing as a thug/elite, DO NOT RETURN TO YOUR PREVIOUS POSITION AFTER BEING TAKEN OUT. Leave the center only with heroes and players who still haven't being taken.   

3. GRINDIND XP (and some wins) 
The capture/recapture the base method for farming xp is the best one for JOKER Faction. When you are the invading player, don't stay in the base to receive the "capturing the base bonus xp". It gives a really low amount (25 xp) and it hurts the farming for the other player. Enter and leave immediately so the other player can quickly capture it for 100xp. 
In our experience, the Joker player can stay capturing the base for the entire game, while the Bane player keeps using Tactical Dart for 200xp. By the end of the match, Bane players will have more or less the same amount. If you managed to get a maxed out player as batman, he can stay idle up on a ledge and receiving the dart as well. This will improve the xp from 200 to 500 xp with each dart. Not bad! 
Focus on maxing Joker first, Bane will be a breeze to level up using the dart method.  
Don't grind in groups with more than 3 players. The minimum required is the best to farm xp because you can more easily coordinate the other players and everybody can gain something from it. Also, when farming as Batman, DO NOT scramble the base where the two other players are farming. Be nice and go for the empty ones.  

4. RECOMMENDED NUMBERS
For FARMING XP and "wins" on different maps: 3 PLAYERS
For "I Like Those Odds": 5 PLAYERS (possible with 4 but requires some strategy)
For "Clutch": 7 PLAYERS (may be possible with 6, unsure)
Predator Paragon is only possible with 8 PLAYERS.  

 Hope it helps. Questions? Doubts? I will try to answer as soons as possible.

This trophies are very doable just with text chat on discord, my boosting group of randoms from a PSNP session got them all at first try without headsets, you just need good planning before doing the session. I just comment this because I don't like when people on sessions start making headsets mandatory when it isn't really needed, this makes things harder for people that aren't native english speakers and aren't good with hearing or speaking (like me) but can write decently.

I'm not trying to set any rules or make anything mandatory.
In our experience, text never worked, but we had pretty good results with headsets, that's why I explained in detail how we got it (and mentioned the thing). As the title suggests, these are just tips, don't worry too much about it. If you guys managed without it, good! I'm happy for you. 
I acknowledge the fact that it can be done, it stills sounds a little more difficult though. I'm not a native english speaker either, so I can relate to how you feel.

Just got the game and looking into the requirements for the mp trophies. So this thread is a very helpful read for a noob like me. Thank you very much.^^

I was about to post about this as the multiplayer guide seems to exaggerate the minimum duration of the exp grind. With this method, someone in my boosting session got up to 40,000 exp in just 1 match after perfecting the method (joker and bane doing the “zig-zag”). I just happened to notice that you still get a full 100 points after recapturing a partially attacked control point. The opponent simply severing the capture is enough to get another 100 points. This works even if 2-3 players are on the benefitting team, which is ideal as many more points are generated for your group!

I thought this was rather unusual, even quirky, as when I boosted Enemy Front, you have to make a circuit around all the 3 of these capture points and fully capture as you take turns with partners, which was very time consuming. You wouldn’t get away with what you can do here in Arkham Origins MP.
