Yuma Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 As of right now, everyone is having questions about Arena, and how to "git gud". So I'll help out fellow bomani. Some of these tips might be what you are missing to climb the ladder~ I will constantly update this guide, when I learn something or get a suggestion of what to add to the guide. Also, I'll give credit to anyone who helps add stuff to this :3 UPDATE 2/1/2016: Lately post here have been bothersome and I think people need to understand, when you hop into arena, YOU MUST have a competitive mindset. Stop making excuses of everything that goes wrong. You won't improve blaming everything but yourself. Learn what you can do to improve your play. There's a diamond BM on NA and EU both of them don't let a class "weakness" get in the way of their performance. Balance? The game is fairly balance, yes things may seem hecka strong right now but just like every meta in every game, there will ALWAYS be that strong something. Right now we're in the NA/EU Arena Meta, Summoners are hecka strong right now, everything else is fairly easily countered/outplayed. That being said, it's not "impossible" to beat a summoner, its just hard. You already lost the match if you go in thinking "omg this class is op" or "my class isn't that strong". UPDATE 2/2/2016: SOUL SHIELDS AND GEAR DOES NOT MATTER IN ARENA! That is all :3 ---------------------------------------- Arena ranking: Bronze- 1300 - 1349 Silver- 1350 - 1599 Gold- 1600 - 1899 Platinum- 1900 - 2099 Diamond- 2100+ ---------------------------------------- NOTE: All keys said are default keys. |Key terms:| Bomani = A term used in TA/CBT for a person under 1600. Before low elo players were called "opponent", it was Bomani. (#BringBackBomani) CC/Crowd Control = Anything that disables the enemy. ie- Stuns/Dazes/Knockdowns KD = Knockdown Tech[F] = rolling out of groggies or knockdowns Tech chasing = frame perfect control follow up on enemy techs Tab/Escape/Trinket = escape mechanism Tab/Escape/Trinket chasing = frame perfect control follow up on enemy trinket(s) iframe = invulnerability frame(s) within an animation Neutral Game = Neither player has a positional advantage (often times when both players are at 10m-20m range) ---------------------------------------- Okay, Now to the basics, I'll get into class specifics at a later time. I can't stress this enough! Don't use tab on the first thing that hits you, it can cost you the game, if the enemy knows how to capitalize on it. When your tab is spec'd to Daze, remember to take advantage of that and tab when enemy is in striking distance. (3m) Learn to Drop combo if you're playing a Des/BD. Drop combo is a Full duration grab, which lets the target naturally fall out of the grab, unable to react to a follow-up control within 0.0-0.8ish seconds. Remember to use you're strafe(E/Q) Not all classes have them but KFM/BD/BM/Sin do. Take advantage of that, classes you may think are OP (Des) can be completely shut down by just holding or tapping E/Q to dodge their gap closers which is also their CC. Learn what every classes escape animations look like -> Escapes (Shoutout to Laguna for this Video) ---------------------------------------- Basic PvP Builds: These aren't set in stone, you may prefer something different, that's perfectly fine. This is just for the people who need a stepping stone in the right direction. Also if there is a build you feel might be better, let me know, I'll put it here and give credit. Destroyer- 45 build: Basic Blade Dancer- 45 build: This is the BD build i used for CBT, it's still pretty relevant :3 Basic Blade Master- This is from the one and only Diamond Blade Master on NA, Cassis/S_PvP If you're trying to improve you're BM game, Check him out. 45 build: vs BM/KFM vs Sin vs BD/Des vs Sum/FM KungFu Master- 45 Build: Basic Assassin- I have multiple builds for this thanks to "Suk" a top Korean Assassin. (He also plays other classes) 45 build: vs BM vs sum vs KFM vs FM vs Sin vs BD/Des Force Master- 45 build: Basic Summoner- 45 build: You don't need a build just watch your cat win for you. JKJK, I'll add one when I find one. Warlock- Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckfat Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Its getting so bad i stared posting about how this game is a bit different than others. The skill cap is much higher. Im just afraid they will "dumb it down" and incrementally remove the skill needed (who knows maybe 1 button combos). Im having a great time with this game so far and I hope it stays difficult.

Don't worry about it! 5 hours ago, Sader said: What's the point of the builds if there is no guide on how to play them? I apologize I couldn't give a detailed guide on how to play every class. I gave the basic builds for every class, I'll try to be more descriptive as possible, but watching videos of said class WILL improve your gameplay. 3 hours ago, Sader said: unfortunately I have searched and googled for an updated guide for blade master for the NA/EU version and I have failed to find a decent one so far, not only for pvp, but for pve. My builds for BM should help, with watching a few top NA/EU BM's streams/vods should help you also. They're open to questions when they are streaming so you should check them out, if needed I can link their streams :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
