After getting ganked plenty of times, I’ve found strategies to help you survive in the WoM War ages.
They’re not full-proof, but hopefully they can help you avoid a fight.
First, you have to KNOW your enemies and what you’re dealing with. Infamy gankers typically:
- Use an oathkeeper and spam raging storm if you’re out of range
- Travel in groups
- Will chase you to the ends of the earth
- See you as infamy and not a person, your pleas will not work on them
Now for the strategies:
Secret Joestar technique
This strat requires agility. Recommended 100+
Now with 100 agility, it is assumed that you are squishy. But your goal isn’t to fight back. Use the secret joestar technique and run away! That much agility is a noticeable difference from someone with 0 agility and only invests in power and defense.
Thanks to the combat changes, you are only considered in combat if you take damage and not deal damage, so once you lose your pursuers and the combat tag wears off, LOG OFF. You won’t lose crowns and they won’t gain infamy, you would’ve effectively wasted their time.
No use in trying to talk back to your pursuers, they will not listen to you.
Stronger together
Travel in a team of 3 or higher. Numbers do matter in this game.
I don’t have a team or a dedicated grind group, but for those who do, play with them! You will be able to fend off gankers much easier and some people won’t gank you at all knowing you have people to back you up.
Whispers of the forest
Abuse the trees in whispering forest to hide. Agility is required 100+
Now this is a double edged sword, gankers like to hide in trees too and ambush you along the path. It is advised that you don’t touch the forest At All. The grassland is surprisingly safer.
If you are being chased: Lose you pursuers in the forest to where they can’t see what you’re doing and climb up a tree. Wait for combat tag to go away. Log off.
If they suprise attack you from the trees: Idk man It’s usually GG when this happens. But if you have enough agility and use your high jumps well, you may make it out alive. Or just log off immediately when you notice them.
To defeat the guild you must BECOME the guild
It is advised that you are decent at pvp and have a meta set because this will make you a target, buuut…*
Since you are a guild leader and people lose 5 infamy when losing to a guild leader, this will deter people from ganking you if you are good at pvp. (When I first saw this picture I laughed for a good 5 min lmao)
Things/Places/Practices to avoid (WIP)
-
Avoid the Summerhold: It’s a warzone and people treat it like it’s their base. Good reps are immune to threats and can’t agro king david, so there’s nothing you can do to stop them in there.
-
Avoid pleading/talking with your enemies: Like I said, they don’t care. Your rage is funny to them, or YT content if they’re a YTer.
-
Bosses: Unless you are farming crowns and know for a fact that you will be alone, generally avoid bosses. There is like an 80% chance that someone will come and “help” you. And by help I mean kill you and then they’ll start fighting the boss by themselves.
-
Avoid Random Team invites (courtesy of Bluemin_Sword): Since teams allow you to track other team members, you have no hope of losing them. Why accept a team invite from a random person? Idk. Only team up with people you know to stay safe.
I will update this post with more strategies/tips if I have any.
120 something agility helps me with traveling around the map too
I reccomend getting nimble on those
