Out of the Metal Chromas that were introduced with the Dark Knights Time Capsules, the Bronze seems to be the least in demand. It at least shares the lower tier in the broker (USPC/PS) with Purple & Green. It is still however pretty great looking. With it being the cheapest at the moment (9/2/2019, 18:50), it turns out most of my recent posts feature it. So I wanted to aggregate everything in one place.
Converting a Champion Bronze Material Style to Bronze Metal Chroma
Bronze Dragonarmor on Longfist
Serpent Guard Conversion

This example was a straightforward conversion of a non-material style into a metal chroma. The Cybernetic base armor (chest & legs) just worked without having to adjust the styles out. The new chroma material by far outshines the metallic armor colored the traditional way.
Testing it Outside of the Green/Bronze Palette
Bronze Dragonarmor Fire Test on Alyssa
Chances are you're going to come across a chroma with a component that may not obviously work with your character's palette. But if you test it on enough styles, you may be able to minimize or even drop that part. The above image is Alyssa, who normally has this style in Red Metallic or Red Metal. But with Bronze swapped in, it allows her to have the warmer colored metal portions that match the fire FX (material, aura ,accessory, movement). The green, which doesn't match is very minimized.
Here's the component list for the XX.4 base mods (where XX = episode #): Health = Battery Fragments Power = Overcharged Matter Dominance = Brainiac Diode Restoration = Metagene Fusing Solution Vitalization = Silicon Wafer Precision = Cybernetic Actuator Might = Ancient Vellum Each mod uses: 10 of the matching component above 6 Matter Enhancers 25 of the corresponding episode's core elements
After a couple of tests, I found the OBS setup with control pad overlay to work very well and is a useful tool in user experience/intent testing. It's an onscreen representation of control pad input that syncs up with gameplay. It can be used to check that input results the proper output in game. This setup will be valuable as changes to UIs are being made as we want to avoid control pad efficiency becoming worse.
