[CONTEST] Tips from someone with many hours (and no life)

Overview

Some different tips I can give you from playing for many hours (i’m no pro but still)

Some General Tips

I would say that from many hours of playing (like I have already said :P) I know some of the mistakes that people do… even myself, and even though you may know the tips you will probably be an idiot and still make those mistakes sometimes (I know because I still do some of them a lot).

1.Stay with your team. Even if you are a big tank like Clunk with tons of health you may think you are invincible… but you are not… I have made the mistake many times of just rushing forward and not waiting for my team. You have a much better chance of staying alive if you have someone with you watching your back, they will save your life more times than you will be able to track. Now if you do the math you will see that there are 3 Nauts per team and only 2 lanes, meaning that someone will have to go into a lane solo (exept on Sorona) there are some Nauts that are able to solo lane really well while the other lane is controlled by your buddies, and while you are solo laning make sure you…

2.Watch the mini map. (not only while solo laning but it was a segway) There will be times when you may be attacking a turret and all of a sudden OH MY GOSH THE ENEMY TEAM JUMPED OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND NOW WE ARE DEAD! You won’t always be able to see where the enemies are but if one passes by your droids, near your allies, or by your turret they will show up on the mini map and you will know where they are, and that can be extremely important to know if you should push up, defend, or go to the other lane to help out.

3.Be careful of hidden spots (the spots that people can hide in). If you are not sure if someone is in one of these spots then be VERY cautious. If you know that the other team has some naughts that are great in these spots then take caution. The Nauts that you should worry about the most in these spots are:
-Yuri (he can lay down mines that if you blindly fall into them you might just instantly die)
-Skolldir (he can jump out and toss you into other enemies or into their turret, it isn’t fun)
-Gnaw (because he is easily able to make these spots a nest of hurt, and usually he and his teammates like to wait in them for a map advantage)
-Yoolip (a good one knows how to launch dinos and then trap enemies so that the dinos chew them alive)
-Derpl (he is able to lay down snares that trap you in place for a second or two and that can be enough time for his team to kill you or for him to either use his gatiling or his nuke, or a mixture of the two)
-Swiggins (his hook is able to tie you down and just like Derpl’s snare, his teammates are able to focus you)

3.Don’t lose your life over a bit of solar. You may be tempted to get that solar that dropped from the minions but if it will put you into a position where you are over extending then DON’T DO IT, the enemy will probably catch you and kill you, and if it is Sorona with that worm pit and your team doesn’t have the middle controlled then DON’T do it, espesially when the enemy has a Leon because he will probably watch it and wait for you to collect that 40 solar just to push that button and then you feel like an idiot.

4.Don’t attack enemy turrets for super long. One thing that has happened to me is that i’m attacking the enemy turret with some droids while no enemies are around and then they pop up and I can’t escape because I get burst down and die, all because I was attacking the turret for too long. You have to learn that you need to back off sometimes. Or something else that has happened is that my team and I wipe the enemy team, we then destroy the first 2 turrets and then push to take out the 2nd pair, but then the enemy shows up and because you are over extended they take out the droids that were almost dead anyways and both they and the turrets are attacking you so your team gets wiped out and they take out your turrets and maybe win. Moral of the story is: Learn when to retreat.

5.Make sure to push droids. There have been times when I have faced against a team that really kicked our butts but in the end we won because the other team focused more on killing and not enough on actually pushing the droids and attacking the turrets. It is a game where you have to push forward and destroy the base, not a mindless death match, so keep up pushing (while retreating if need be)

6.Make sure to pick good Nauts. Make sure everyone has a good Naut that can compliment each other, you don’t want to get a team of all supports or an all melee team and then face against a team that really counters it (it hurts so much when that happens). I personally recommend having something like a Tank, someone who is good at pushing, and someone who can deal good damage, but there are many different combos that work (and some really cheap ones that are a pain in the butt to deal with)

7.Don’t steal health from a teammate who is in need. There will be times when a teammate is low on health and they are either being chased or are posioned or on fire and will die if they don’t get it. You won’t always be able to handle if this happens if they show up out of nowhere, but if you can control it don’t steal it.

8.Be kind, to everyone. Some people don’t know how important it can be to be kind, if your teammates feel like trash or are having a bad match it can make it even harder to play right and it will actually make them play worse, which in the end it will cause you as a whole to do worse (because it takes a team to win), and don’t be a jerk to the other team either, like I have said people can have an off game where they aren’t doing as well or are making all the mistakes. Please just make the world a better place and be kind.

Tips for facing different Nauts

Froggy G: Remember that he has a dash ability, so he can get away if you are trying to pin him down and kill him or chase you if you are running away.

Lonestar: He is great at pushing with his bull and can do tons of burst with his dynamite at close range. Some Lonestars know how to get behind you and use their bull to push you towards their turret, if this happens stay calm, if you freak out then it will most likely pin you into their turret.

Leon: If you are facing one then be careful when you are alone because that is when they will strike, and even more so at the health creeps (it only makes sense to strike your enemy when they are weak and trying to heal). Be wary of his tongue because if he is working with someone with a snare or trap they can just hide in one of those spots I mentioned before and snare and beat you down, and just be wary of his tongue in general because it is good for catching prey when they run away.

Scoop (my main): He has a hammer that can snare multiple people which can be used against you if you are running away or are chasing him, and his heal ability has a damage that can get a short ways past the turret, so if you are low health and a Scoop is getting near your turret while using that abilty it might just kill you.

Gnaw: They usually like to set up nests in the hidden spots or even health creep locations for map control, and they have a posion spit that can do a lot of damage. It can help if you get regen to battle the posion.

Raelynn: She has a long range snipe ability that is capable of dealing a lot of damage and finishing you off if you are low. She also has a slowing wall that is a MASSIVE pain to walk through if they actually upgrade the slow on it, and if you get trapped in that they have an easy shot at you with their sniper.

Ayla: If you are Vinnie or Yuri you are going to have a bad time. She has a rage ability that allows her to fly around with an AOE damage orb around you and she gets a damage resistance when she is around a lot of enemies while in rage, and when she gets lower health her eye beam ability does more and more damage.

Clunk: He has a self destruct ability that does an AOE around him after a couple of seconds from activating it, and his second ability is a life steal bite. If the Clunk is clever (and is able to pull it off) they will activate the explode early while hidden and spring up on you.

Voltar: He is a healer who in the right hands can deal massive damage with his balls… so be careful…

Coco: She has a flying orb ability that can go through walls and damage or even push you out from behind your turret, so if you are low health and you see her coming close to your turret… RUN!

Skolldir: He has a really annoying toss ability which throws you behind him, they like to either run at you and toss you towards their turret and/or teammates or they will be sneaky and jump out from hiding spots and toss you towards the same stuff.

Yuri: He likes to either fly around dropping bombs on people where they can’t reach him or he hides in the hidden spots and plants bombs there so if you go into one you will take massive damage and probably die.

Derpl: He can switch between being a mobile robot mech which can place snares in the air or being an imobile sentry with a nuke launcher, they like to hide snares in the hiding spots and maybe nuke you while you are snared.

Vinnie (my other main): He has a dive ability that is great at finishing off enemies, so if you are fighting him make sure you are careful while retreating, if you get at a certain distance away you will be at a good diving distance for him and he can kill you.

Genji: He has a cacoon ability that traps an enemy (or droid) for a couple of seconds but doesn’t allow them to take damage (unless they get an upgrade), they can use this to trap an enemy and group around him.

Swiggens: He has a hook that can bring him closer to walls (ect.) and enemies, and that can be launched to tie an enemy to the hook, if he hooks you his friends can gang up on you, but you can destroy the hook while it is deployed.

Rocco: He is an archer with a lot of range. He has a power up that makes him fast and can slow you down if hit. His other ability is an arrow that he can loose that can go through walls and damage enemies. If you are at low health then be careful because he can finish you off while you try teleporting to base behind your turret.

Ksenia: Similar problems to Leon but instead of the tonue she has throwing knives that can do a ton of damage.

Ix: He has the ability to link with people and switch places with them, he can use this to put you in a bad position.

Ted: He has a hammer of dawn style airstrike that can hit you through the floors and damage you, so he can hit people on the top level from the bottom level, and he can switch from being in machinegun mode and shotgun mode.

Penny: She is highly mobile and can activate a leap, and has a short range beam ability that can hit through walls… so don’t let her do that…

Sentry: He can set a waypoint to teleport to (can only place it where he is), and has a worm hole ability that has to charge up, while it is charging up any damage that he takes will make it more powerful

Skree: He has a tall tower that he can toss down to block your way forward or from retreating. He also has a sawblade that he can toss to do damage in place, or he can toss it out and recall it right away to do massive burst damage to someone.

Nibbs: She has an orb that she can toss out and can teleport to, and has a fire breath that she can combo with it (or not) and do surprise burst damage. The fire can go through walls or your turret.

Yoolip: He has dinos that he can release and a gripping trap, a good Yoolip can combo them for high damage.

Chucho: He has a bike that he can either ride or jump off of for it to become a sentry, and he has a sticky bomb that can… stick… to you. If you get stuck it is best to stay away from teammates as it will hurt them too, and you don’t want to be the guy who kills his own teammate by walking into them.

Jimmy: He has a charge that he can use to push you or run away, like Lonestar he can use the push to get you next to their turrets… I think you can see how that is bad. He also has a rocket barrage that can hit you from a range.

Max Focus & Deadlift: I don’t really know them all that well yet…

Conclusion

I hope this helped you guys, this is my first ever guide that I have wrote. I stayed up all night to write this, I started at like 1am (expecting it to not take long) and now it is nearly 6am… uuuggh
