I'm starting this thread in hopes that it'll become a compilation of tips and tricks to ranked mode battles and weapon uses. I'm currently S rank as of posting this and a Luna Blaster main, but I'm still good with every other weapon class (except rollers). I wanted to share some of the things I've noticed while battling and am curious to see what other people have seen. So please, if you've found an effective position, strategy, exploit, etc. (or have seen someone else using it), please share it! I'll go first with a few that I use:
- When using the Slosher at Moray Towers in Tower Control, you can stop the enemies' advance fairly safely by shooting through the yellow gate on your side's elevated area. You can see it here:
- You can use the Squid Beakon sub-weapon as a shield in certain smaller closed spaces, such as the opening points of Bluefin Depot or the narrow side paths of Arowana Mall. Placing all three ( that's the maximum) in a line across those types of places (or really anywhere) can act as a small buffer against an opponent's first shots, giving you enough time to counterattack (so it's kinda like a Splash Wall). I've used it effectively namely with the Dual Squelcher Custom and the Custom E-Liter 3K. I wouldn't recommend relying on the shield with short range weapons though, since it blocks you from advancing on the enemy. Even then, however, it would still be handy cover for your teammates.
- It's a given that the Luna Blaster excels at close range, but it's also deceptively amazing at killing enemies above you on ledges and stuff. Because of this, the weapon thrives at Walleye Warehouse. If you can position yourself right in front of the ramp on the enemies' spawner, you can completely punish the other team.
