How to defend flags

Most people dont like to defend, you don't get many xp to do that. I think that defend is annoying. You earn crystals very slowly. How to defend with each weapon?



Smoky 4/10

You can't be a good defend with smoky. Smoky shoots is weak and attackers easily run off. Critical shoot had beed decreased, smoky's power got worse. This weapon is not good for defense.


Firebird 7/10

Firebird is better than smoky. Burning ability is good, have a big charge to damage enemy tank. I dont like its because its unfreeze the freeze tanks and they just run off. Take firebird when there is no freeze in your team.

Twins 6/10

Twins is good at defend expecially at his ilimited charge. His energy balls are weak. Shoot at enemy's side to make his miss. Use it with a strong tank that is hard to push like dictator, titan...


Railgun 6/10

Railgun got a big damage but his reloading speed is too slow for a good defender. When defending with railgun, use a small tank for catching ennmy quicly. Be carful with your shoot! They are very precious, a rail shoot can kill an enemy at the last second and return the flag.

Freeze 9/10

Freeze is the best weapon for defending, at 70% your team can catch the drugger can kill him. Freeze have a good reloads pretty fast. Use it with a good tank that is quic or indestructible. With a small tank, turn around the drugger, he cant damage you too badly. It is the best weapon to defend flags. Two freezes in a team can be very dangerous, save up crystals and buy inferno it's a great paint against freeze.

Thunder 5/10

Thunder's defend ability is low. Enemies always go beside defenders and thats make you vunerable, thunder are always dead before 2 or 3 shoots. Drive back when attackers is comming, look at your side and shoot when the ennemy is far from you.

Isida

Healing 8/10
Isida is very useful for keeping defenders alive. Heal the big tanks since ther can survive longer. Attack druggers if there is no tank to heal. Don't rush on drugger because many tanks need your help.

Attaking 2/10
Why attack ennemy tank when defenders need health? And isida's power decreased, I didnt even care about isida when attaking. I just ignore them and run.

Ricochet 7/10

Ricochet power had increase alot. Plasma balls shoots and reload faster. Like in blue team of Deck-9 plasma balls can bounce on walls and kils ennemy tank whithout seeing them. Don't waste too much on shoots. It reload a bit faster but it is still slow, range is limited too.

Shaft 5/10

Shaft isn't a good defender when its not hidden. Shaft is strong but it can easily be killed on his side. Hide behind walls or hide in bushes. It can be a good defender but his ability to turn and reload is bad. Use it if you like snipers!

 

 

 

 

Wasp 1/10

 

This is the worst hull to defense. Low health, ligth, it can easily flipp down. With isida it could be better than other weapon, due to his fast speed wasp can quickly heal people. Do not take this or you will be like a mult.

 

Hornet 6/10

 

Hornet is good at small map defense. But in big map it's very bad. Hornet is a attacking tank not a defending tank. Try to do not use it at defense.

 

Hunter 7/10

 

Hunter is good at defense but this hull nobody use it. We don't like his speed and protection. Hunter have a good speek and good armor. It will not be easily killed like an hornet and it is faster than viking. Good defender.

 

Dictator 5/10

 

It have a good acceleration, turns fast but big size. In Sandbox we can even shoot a dictator when he is under us. This tank could block druggers. Whith a fast acceleration, you can run out of drugger range faster. His big size makes him easy to hit.

 

Viking 8/10

 

Low size, good health, this is one of the best tank to defense. You can find viking freeze combo often at the base. I like it very much. This is the second best tank for defending.

 

Titan 7/10

 

This is an epic tank. Faster than mammoth and a bit less health. This is an unpopular tank. To block ennemy is easy. It will survive more time than dictator and that helps your teamates to kill the drugger.

 

Mammoth 9/10

 

Best tank for defending, strongest, and at m3 380 hp is alot. If this tank stays on a flag, enemy can't push you. Your low speed had difficulties to catch other tanks. With freeze this is an deadly machine. Best defender.

Didnt work in the battle I was just in... My team was 3 freezes and a rico, but the other team made a comeback when a drugger freeze/dictator joined and the rest of their team had 2 isidas and a freeze... T You should say "this guide may not work in all situations" :P

my guide is about for killing 1 drugger and maybe its on big maps Edited May 21, 2014 by stanzhang

In most public games, a team usually isn't coordinated enough to have 2 or 3 druggers rush the flag at once. Have a few freezes and you should be okay.

Nice

[TriFerricTetroxide 15]

Nice but many grammer mistakes

 

If u wanna corerct them PM me

[Eragon 13,876]

you should work on your grammar. Enemy not ennmy* :P  Rail is best for team defense through. Alone it is weak but with a helper on his side he is epic, 

[stanzhang 3,291]

Sorry about the mistaks, I'm not english plus I'm only 13 years old

hulls comes out !

[WarMonkey51Austin 68]

You are very good at making guides, stanzhang.

 

BUT

you can add some pics

smoky+railgun+shaft can hide behind things and shoot so they get more hits

Deck-9 map will be removed soon

And I think wasp is good at defending because you can catch up with attackers and freeze them

thanks you very much!

[Born.To.Light 74]

I agree about momouth and freeze it the best defending tank ;)

[rokar123 11]

Nice :)

[FANTASTICMASTER101 21]

awesome!!! Keep it up :D

[Xenophobia 457]

In my opinion mammoth/freeze isn't always the best option because in big maps ranged guns with speed hulls will kill you and then steal the flag. Then, they will run away with it and since mammoth is slow if you don't spawn near them you have no chance in stopping them.

True, but we can also use good defensive paints and maybe take cover as well.

Pretty great guide. I never thought of freeze for defending. I drive a mammoth and usually use a railgun on larger maps, and twins on smaller. It works pretty well, but a freeze and mammoth (if it is the right course) is a great combo.

 

However, the biggest thing I would change is

1. Fix  your grammar. I don't care if your 13, 17, 89... that needs to be better. I can fix it for you, if you would like.

2. Typically when referring to objects, it's not a "him" it's a "her". For example, I would refer to my car as: "She's a great car". Just something to think about changing.

3. Add some basic illustrations and tactics for defending. If your by yourself on an average course, how do you defend? If you have more players, how do you defend?

 

But you did a good job. I agree with almost every thing you said. Great job, +1!

[stanzhang 3,291]

ok so i dont know how to fix grammar

Everyone makes mistakes, just ignore them. Although making the same mistakes over and over again is not good.
