Use this thread to talk about PvP strategies and metas. Here’s my take on different types of play styles based on what I’ve seen:
The Sunken Sword spammer: uses Sunken Sword and spams it every five seconds, maybe in conjunction to another sword and aggros the heck outta you.
The archer: uses either one or two bows and waits until you’re stunned even for the slightest second to stick an arrow in you. Has really good aim and tracking
The Placed Explosion spammer: uses mainly placed explosions in PvP because they have double digit iq and think that explosions are good in PvP.
The Beams spammer: uses mainly beams in PvP and waits until you’re stunned to beam you to heaven. Stays far away from you. Even on ground, beams do AoE, so if they have good aim, they can land shots on you when on ground too.
The blast punisher: either has a really slow magic or one of the meta magics, and only spams blasts at you because they have good ping, aim and clash.
The Blocker: literally perfect blocks every attack because they live next door to roblox servers.
Current meta magics: Fire, Plasma, Paper, Poison, Glass
This seems about right from what I’ve seen, but I have no experience with the blocker. Also all of these playstyles could add sunken sword to be instantly better.
One question though: why are those the meta magics? I find most magics to be pretty balanced, with all things considered.
I mean yeah they’re very middle-of-the-road, but if you play to the strengths of slower/faster magics they can be good. If you have a slow magic, use beams instead of blasts and use explosions to deal huge damage and clash with blasts. I don’t have much experience with fast magics, but from what I’ve seen use blasts at range for more damage than beams, and keep moving and punishing quickly instead of trying to tank it out with self explosions
I’m not good at aiming or PvP in general. I’m fairly shit at it if I’m being honest. I like to use AoE moves to make up for my lack of aim and when I can get off with it I use beams. Kind of a mix of sunken sword spammer, beam spammer, and blast punisher. If I can get a blast off, believe me, I will. I like to be up close which most people don’t like. I only use placed explosions whenever I can predict where they’ll go.
I honestly need more pvp experience ngl. Only have five kills and three of them were from my only fight, Idk how I got the other two. My magic (magma) works well against bleeding targets so I don’t just spam the sword to get a free hit in or something. My sword skills have much to be desired, I can’t land basic hits with them for shit. Practicing a lot with NPCs though.
I’m more of a defensive, regenerative kind of person. I like keeping as much distance as possible until my opponent gets frustrated and slips up before rushing in with a huge amount of DPS. You might call me a beam/sunken sword spammer (I actually have the sunken sword), but hey, it’s effective.
I do a mix of all of these minus the sunken sword but in place of it i use the old sword and alalean cutlass and also perfect block when i think i have a chance to
I have excellent aim/tracking but I definitely spam beams (only on the ground anyway). I probably should invest in a bow, crossbow sucks ass and I’m always out of mana.
I know when I should block, but my need to avoid it overrides that and I get hit for full T_T
Time Lord: Arch-nemesis to the blocker, this mother fucker lives as far away from the servers as humanly possible, while using a potato for a router. If they join your server, they blast you while you’re frozen on their screen, getting easy free hits in. They have mastered the art of teleportation to evade your attacks.
Is one of the eleven unknowns.
