0:00In this video, I'll be giving at least
0:01one assorted tip for every hero in
0:03Deadlock. If you have additional tips,
0:05feel free to leave them in the comment
0:06section. And if this video gets 600
0:07likes, I'll make a part two. On Abrams,
0:09duration is key because all of his
0:11abilities scale really well with this
0:13stat and it helps to counteract the
0:14debuff resistance that enemies have by
0:16making your stuns longer. And a bonus of
0:18these longer stuns is that with a tier
0:20two shoulder charge and no upgrades into
0:22seismic impact, you can directly slam on
0:24someone,
0:25heavy melee them, then slam them into a
0:27wall, and punch them again. However, you
0:30do need to be careful if you don't hit
0:31someone directly in the center of the
0:33impact because it'll take longer for
0:34your stun to hit. And so if they have
0:35debuff resist, you might be in a little
0:37bit of danger. A little-known tech on
0:39Apollo is that you can actually just
0:40hold down his ultimate. You do not need
0:43to cast it right away. And you can
0:45actually use this to bait out certain
0:46cool downs from the enemies that they
0:48would use to block your ultimate like
0:49quantum entanglement or viscous cube.
0:51Baba is able to stack more spirit power
0:53than any other character in the game,
0:55which means that items that scale with
0:56spirit power are ludicrously strong on
0:59her. They weren't balanced around having
1:00this much spirit power. So, items like
1:02radiant regeneration, mystic shot,
1:04torment pulse, spirit snatch, and indom
1:06are all insane on her. Additionally, she
1:09has negative bullet resist, but her
1:11spirit resist scales with spirit power.
1:12So, to become nearly immortal, all you
1:15have to do is get some anti-gun items,
1:17whether that is metal skin or plated
1:19armor. On BeeBop, you aren't just
1:20limited to hooking people directly in
1:22front of you. You can also hook someone
1:25and bring them behind you, which is a
1:26bit of extra displacement and it allows
1:28you to uppercut them directly into your
1:30tower or just even further into your
1:33team. On Billy, it's important to learn
1:34the art of light meleeing because
1:36Billy's light melees are actually faster
1:38than other characters. He doesn't get
1:41slightly slowed down whenever he uses
1:43the attack. And furthermore, he has no
1:44ability to guarantee a heavy melee like
1:47Abrams does. However, people will just
1:49naturally parry when you get close to
1:51them as Billy, so you also need to learn
1:53how to hold your melees. Sometimes just
1:55being this close to them and using your
1:57abilities is enough to get them to
1:59parry. And then after the parry is done,
2:00you can beat the crap out of them. But
2:02if you really do want to heavy melee
2:03them, then consider learning how to
2:05heavy melee cancel. There are certain
2:07items in this game like Fleetfoot that
2:08allow you to activate them during the
2:10charge up of a heavy melee, canceling
2:12the attack and basically just baiting
2:15out their parry for free without putting
2:16you in any danger of getting stunned.
2:18And then after that, beat the crap out
2:21of them. If you've ever wondered how
2:22Calico players burst you down in half a
2:24second flat, it's because of her classic
2:25burst combo where she uses leaping slash
2:28to get up close, then activates her
2:29Coldfront or Arctic Blast, puts the
2:31bombs on you, and then finishes you off
2:33with the ultimate, all while torment
2:35pulse is ticking away on you. This does
2:37a lot of damage when you do it quickly.
2:39So, if we were to do it fast,
2:42it looks something like that. However,
2:44you can do even more damage if you're
2:46skilled thanks to the tier two gloom
2:47bombs. This upgrade shreds their melee
2:49resist by 6% per bomb that hits them.
2:51So, if you throw the bombs first and you
2:53hit multiple bombs on them, your leaping
2:55slash will do more damage. And also, you
2:56can weave in a light melee immediately
2:58after your leaping slash for even more
3:00burst. [music] It looks something like
3:02this. Throw this out, then do this with
3:04a light melee combo, and just burst
3:06them. I'll do it slowly now. Throw the
3:08gloom bombs, then leaping slash with a
3:10light melee at the very end of it.
3:12Coldfront, alt, just like that. This
3:14next tip is important to learn on all
3:16heroes, but it's even more important on
3:17Celeste. And that is to learn how to air
3:19strafe. So, if I were to take this jump
3:21pad normally just holding W, then yeah,
3:24I would land up here on the bridge. But
3:27if I take the same jump pad and I do not
3:30hold W and instead hold either the A or
3:33D keys and turn my [music] mouse in the
3:34appropriate direction, then watch what
3:36happens.
3:39We're able to turn in the air just like
3:42that and land somewhere totally
3:44different. And in Celeste's case, we can
3:45even do a full loop-de-loop in the air
3:47because her air strafing is stronger
3:49than other characters. And so, once
3:51again, if I do this, but I hold A and
3:52look left this time,
3:55we end up
3:56all the way over here. And Celeste can
3:59use this to do a little bit of bunny
4:01hopping as well, where you kind of
4:02alternate A and D in the air. I am not
4:05holding W right now. I'm just jumping
4:08and I'm using my A and D keys and also
4:11looking like this. And we are able to
4:13kind of just bunny hop. And there are
4:16some places on the map where it is a
4:17little tough and like these tight
4:18spaces, but if you do it on an open
4:21stretch, then you can actually end up
4:22going faster than just regular walking.
4:25Deadman Danny also has some movement
4:26tech known as rocket jumping. So, if you
4:29hit yourself
4:31with your own rocket launcher, you'll
4:32take a little bit of damage and it'll
4:34knock you up into the air. But, you can
4:36go even higher by crouching and then
4:39immediately jumping. Look at how high I
4:41just went there. Boom. Crouch jump right
4:44at the end when the explosion's about to
4:46go off and you will go super high. And
4:48you can also use this knockback to go
4:50horizontally just like that. And it's
4:52really nice if you're able to pair it
4:53with a wall jump. Look at how far I just
4:55sent myself. Clear to the other side of
4:57the bridge. Oh my gosh. And if you find
4:58that you're taking too much damage, then
5:00consider getting some spirit resist
5:01because the self-damage component on the
5:03rocket jumps is spirit damage, just like
5:05the chimera mark one and close the deal.
5:07One of the most nefarious things Dorman
5:09players like to do is kidnap enemies to
5:11their walker. So, here's how to actually
5:13set that up. The first thing you need to
5:14do is place a door near the walker
5:16somewhere high up. And the reason why
5:18you place it high up is so that way when
5:20the enemies land on the ground, they
5:22aren't able to easily go back through
5:24the door to safety. They're basically
5:26trapped here. And then you need to find
5:28yourself a hapless enemy within the
5:29range of the door, which you can see on
5:31the mini map over here. And then just
5:33put a door behind them, vortex web, and
5:35cart them through. And now, all of a
5:37sudden, this poor infernus is doomed to
5:39die
5:40>> [laughter]
5:40>> a very painful death. If you want to
5:43rotate halfway across the map in an
5:45instant, either to run away from your
5:46foes or gank an enemy lane, then
5:48consider using Stalker's Mark on a camp.
5:50There are certain lineups where you can
5:52throw this thing directly at a trooper
5:54there and um yeah, just teleport halfway
5:58across the map. And now I am on the
6:00green lane or travel to the yellow lane
6:02by throwing a Stalker's Mark in the veil
6:04back there. Yeah, there's a camp here
6:06and boom, now I'm behind the yellow
6:08guardian ready to gank. Something you
6:09might not know about Quantum
6:10Entanglement is that you can actually
6:12use it to pull allies through walls just
6:15like that. If Furnance was inside the
6:16building, now he's outside. If I come in
6:18here, I can bring him back in. And so if
6:21you see that an ally is in danger, you
6:23can use walls to your advantage by
6:25pulling them directly through to safety.
6:27As Grave, something evil you can do is
6:29put your tombstone in a high up,
6:30hard-to-reach places like this area up
6:33here. The ghouls will spawn and they'll
6:35just drop down to the ground level where
6:37they can chase the enemies, but the
6:38tombstone itself is very hard to reach.
6:41Now, a lot of places on the map the
6:43enemies can still technically get to it,
6:45but they're going to have to work for it
6:46and well, working for it is exactly what
6:48you want them to do because it increases
6:50your odds of killing them. In
6:51particular, there are two nefarious
6:53places you can put the tombstone in both
6:55of the bases. So on the Hidden [music]
6:57King's side here, you can take the jump
6:59pad and put your tombstone on this crate
7:02up here just like this.
7:05>> [laughter]
7:05>> Good luck accessing that, enemies, and
7:07it'll rain down ghouls from the heavens.
7:10Look at them go. Oh my goodness, this is
7:13amazing. And on the Arch-Mother's side,
7:15you can put the tombstone on these
7:17spikes here. If I go ahead and double
7:19jump, bam, I can place down the
7:20tombstone. And I recommend using quick
7:22cast for this so that way you can hold
7:23down the button and make sure you've got
7:25the right position. But yeah, um once
7:27again, not much the enemies can do about
7:29that. Uh they can try, but it's going to
7:32be difficult and very annoying for them.
7:35As Grave Talon, you can shoot your traps
7:37to detonate them much earlier. If I
7:39throw the trap normally against this
7:41target dummy, look at how long it takes
7:42to curse him, but if I throw the trap
7:45down and then I shoot it,
7:47I hit him and I explode the trap much,
7:50much faster. So, there are a lot of
7:52lineups that you can use for this.
7:53Obviously, you can throw it on the floor
7:55and pierce the arrow through them like
7:57that. You can also throw the trap up
7:58against a wall and aim for the center
8:00right there. Hayes is a pretty vanilla
8:02hero, but one thing that's annoying on
8:04her is metal skin. How the heck do you
8:07deal with this? All of your damage is
8:08gone.
8:09>> [music]
8:09>> Well, a very common strategy on Hayes
8:11that's super mean is to get a curse
8:13relic and this will allow you to, when
8:16they put up the metal skin, just take
8:18the metal skin off and also completely
8:20disable them from doing basically
8:22anything, which leaves them open for
8:25your bullet dance to shred through their
8:26health. As Holiday, there are a couple
8:28of things you can do to eviscerate the
8:30targets you pick up with your ultimate.
8:32First of all, you can extend the
8:34duration of the ult by jumping on a jump
8:36pad, but this sends them kind of just
8:38flying through the air and it makes it
8:40difficult for your team to aim at them.
8:41So, instead, you can pick them up and
8:43then immediately after jumping,
8:46do a dash just like that off the jump
8:48pad and you will basically
8:50gain the duration bonus without actually
8:52taking them that much higher into the
8:54air. So, you continue just [music]
8:55traveling linearly. Also, by using the
8:58alternate cast on your barrel that just
9:00kind of deploys a stationary one like
9:01this, you can [music] explode the
9:04enemies repeatedly during your lasso.
9:06So, you can pick them up and then just
9:08put a barrel behind you and walk them
9:09directly into it just like that. And
9:12this all works even better if you have
9:13duration. So, pick them up, put a barrel
9:15behind you, go ahead and get on that
9:17jump pad and just keep deploying barrels
9:19and you will make short work of whoever
9:22you wrangle. Similar to Abrams, duration
9:25is key on Infernus. It makes his
9:26afterburn last longer, it gives him more
9:28mobility during the flame dash, and it
9:30makes the stun component of concussive
9:32combustion particularly devastating. And
9:34one more thing you can do is you can
9:35actually punch the enemies during
9:37Concussive Combustion to build up some
9:39afterburn on them and kind of load them
9:40up with a little bit of bonus burst
9:42damage. All right, now this tip is
9:44particularly fun. It's got to be one of
9:46my favorites of the video. You can pick
9:48someone up with Ivy and a fling them
9:51using the power of Warp Stone. So, I'm
9:53going to grab this target dummy here and
9:55then what I'm going to do is I'm going
9:56to Warp Stone and immediately after Warp
9:58Stone-ing, I'm going to let go of the
10:01allies. So, warp
10:03and let go. And look at that. I flung
10:05him completely to the other side of the
10:07map. Let's do that again. Pick him up.
10:09Let's fly him over here. And then Warp
10:12Stone and throw.
10:15It's some crazy tech if you really need
10:18to get a teammate to safety. You just
10:20got to make sure you do the Warp Stone
10:22first. Do not throw them and then Warp
10:24Stone. You got to Warp Stone then throw
10:26because if I just throw him first and
10:28then Warp Stone, yeah, doesn't quite
10:30work. Now, real quick before we move on,
10:32I would just like to say that if you
10:33found this video to be helpful, I would
10:34really appreciate it if you would
10:35subscribe. We're trying to hit 100k here
10:37on the channel. We are very close to
10:39that milestone and when we hit it, I
10:41will shave my freaking head. It'll look
10:43absolutely ridiculous, I'm sure. So, hit
10:45that subscribe button and let's get back
10:47to the video. A big mistake many Kelvin
10:49players make is overestimating the
10:50healing that Frozen Shelter provides.
10:52With no upgrades here, it only gives me
10:5490 health regen, which is very good in
10:56the early game, but come mid to late
10:57game, this isn't very good. Even with
10:59spirits scaling from Boundless Spirit
11:01and Healing Booster, we're still only
11:02looking at about 129 health regen, which
11:06um you know, by this point in the game,
11:08enemies are doing hundreds, if not a
11:10thousand or more DPS to you. So, you
11:12will get eviscerated if you try to use
11:14this for healing in the late game unless
11:16you have that tier three. And even then,
11:18you know, 310 health regen is great, but
11:20you're not going to be immortal during
11:22this thing. Instead, the best way to use
11:23Frozen Shelter is to trap enemies in
11:25with a teammate who loves being up close
11:28so they can eviscerate them. So, if you
11:30dome this target dummy in with someone
11:32like a Victor or a Silver, they will
11:35just get destroyed. But, also you can
11:37use the Frozen Shelter to block key
11:39ultimates. So, if a Lash is charging up
11:41his ult above you, dome your team in and
11:43this physical barrier will prevent Lash
11:45from using his ults. A third and final
11:47way to use it is to freeze objectives.
11:49So,
11:50yeah, it just completely shuts down any
11:52Guardian, Walker, even the Patron is
11:55frozen by the Frozen Shelter, which
11:57means you can use it as a last-ditch
11:59effort to save your Patron. You can use
12:01it to freeze the Regenerator Crystals to
12:03give your team time to come and help
12:04you. There are a whole bunch of ways
12:06that you can use this to mess with
12:08objectives in a way that no other hero
12:10can. This is probably the most forgotten
12:12tech in the game, but as Lady Geist, you
12:14can alt-fire your life drain to heal
12:16your own teammates, which can actually
12:17be useful in some niche situations. If
12:20you have a lot of sustain and you've
12:21also got a lot of spirit power from, you
12:24know, spirit scaling, boundless spirit,
12:26anything like that, then the healing of
12:28this will scale up with that. So, now if
12:30I use it on Infernus here with a bunch
12:31of items, it's actually a pretty decent
12:33amount of healing. I full healed him and
12:34we're still giving him even more healing
12:36from there. As Lash, one of the most
12:38important things to learn is a little
12:39bit of patience. Most people like to
12:42activate that slam and throw people
12:44immediately as soon as the green circle
12:47locks on. And that's okay in some
12:49situations. But, there are other times
12:51where the enemies have something like a
12:52counter spell and they will bring it out
12:54early because they anticipate that
12:56you're going to do exactly that. If
12:58instead you just hold your ults and you
13:00wait for the parries to come out,
13:03then you're golden and the counter spell
13:05does nothing to you. Also, holding your
13:07ult that extra second does give you a
13:09little bit more time to potentially pick
13:10up a few more enemies who happen to walk
13:12by. As McGinnis, there are a couple of
13:14evil ways that you can use your turrets.
13:17The first way is to spread them out.
13:19[music] The turrets do have pretty good
13:21range and so you can just chuck them in
13:23a whole bunch of random spots. If you
13:25clump them all up, they're much more
13:26susceptible to enemy AoE abilities,
13:28whether it's Seven's lightning balls,
13:29Lady guys bomb, you name it. But if you
13:31chuck turrets just all over the place
13:34like this, then yeah, technically they
13:35will be a little bit harder to buff with
13:37your medicinal specter, but at the very
13:38least you'll be able to cover multiple
13:40different angles and make the damage
13:42basically unavoidable. However, you can
13:44get even craftier than that and place
13:46turrets in some places that kind of
13:48camouflage their very existence. Like
13:51chucking a turret just in a bush.
13:53>> [laughter]
13:54>> Much harder to see. There are some
13:56pretty good pedestals as well over here
13:58by the green lane where you can just put
14:00a turret up in there and um yeah, you
14:02basically just have an invisible turret.
14:04>> [laughter]
14:05>> Uh it's a great way to uh yeah, sneak a
14:08bunch of damage on the enemies. Like
14:09look, you cannot see it from this angle
14:11at all. The only indicator is a health
14:13bar. It's just It's a nice little bit of
14:15camouflage. It's a good way to uh trick
14:17the enemies and keep them on their toes.
14:19In the early game, Mina can immediately
14:21one-shot the tier one camps with the
14:23mystic burst and extra spirit combo. You
14:26put a point into the rake for that extra
14:2760 damage and then you just come on over
14:29here and you're one-shot it. Boom. And
14:32that's a great way to steal the enemy's
14:34camp and heal yourself, too, cuz rake
14:37will give you 93 healing in that
14:40instance from these three troopers here.
14:42And as long as you're keeping pace on
14:44your items, you'll be able to one-shot
14:45tier one camps basically the entire
14:47game. And if you want to clear out those
14:48pesky tier twos in an ammo-efficient
14:50way, then you can hit them until they're
14:51about to have love bites and then rake
14:53will apply the love bites and also do a
14:56bunch of damage from this burst at the
14:57same time. Which, if you have the right
14:59items, can make very short work out of
15:01these camps. Mirage has a cool down
15:03between repeat applications of the Jin's
15:05mark. So, if you're fighting multiple
15:06opponents, it's actually best to shoot
15:08them in a round-robin sort of way, where
15:10you shoot one person, then move on to
15:11the next, then move on to the next, and
15:13then come back and apply the next mark
15:15just like that. And obviously, you can
15:17shoot them faster than I'm doing here to
15:19add add bit of extra gun damage, but
15:22yeah, this is a good way to kind of
15:23multiply your damage output and spread
15:25those marks to everyone. A somewhat new
15:28feature on Moa and Kriel is the ability
15:29to enter the tunnels without needing to
15:31use your burrow. So, if you just walk up
15:34to a vent like this, you crouch, and
15:35then you hold W,
15:37you will dig into the tunnels, and
15:39you'll be able to access this without
15:40burning any of your cool downs, which is
15:42very nice indeed. And then just pop on
15:44out to the other side, and go ahead and
15:46do the same thing, just like that. And
15:48you can also use items in your ultimate.
15:50This is useful for a few things. First
15:51of all, you can just like bird on an
15:52Alkfire in the middle of your old for
15:54some bonus damage, or you can use
15:55Unstoppable during your ultimate to
15:57ensure that you don't get stunned. But,
15:59one of the funniest things you can do is
16:01if you're able to sneak up on somebody,
16:03you can use Majestic Leap during your
16:05ultimate.
16:06>> [laughter]
16:07>> As long as you don't get interrupted
16:08with any kind of damage, you can grab
16:09them and then just
16:11Yeah.
16:12Basically, turn yourself into a holiday.
16:15That's pretty cool. Nurse Harrow has a
16:17very unique interaction between her
16:19second ability and her third ability
16:21when it is maxed out. Tier three Lurking
16:23Terrors makes you immune to damage while
16:25channeling, and Wretched Vapor's makes
16:28you immune to damage during the first 4
16:30seconds, but it defers that damage to
16:32the last 4 seconds. So, what you can do
16:34is you can activate Wretched Vapor's on
16:36yourself, and tank up a whole bunch of
16:38damage during the first couple of
16:40seconds there. Then, activate Lurking
16:42Terrors,
16:43and all of the damage will not be dealt
16:46to you from the crash because you're
16:48immune to damage during this.
16:50And so, it's a way to kind of be a front
16:53line for your team, which is a weird
16:55thing that Harrow can do, but it is very
16:57useful. Something that most players do
16:59with Paige is use the Stampede kind of
17:02in a grounded way, you know, just send
17:04them forward like that. It makes sense,
17:05after all, it's a stampede. They aren't
17:06exactly meant to fly.
17:08Except, they totally can fly.
17:12>> [laughter]
17:12>> So, if you have something like a
17:14Nefarious Seven Alt flying up in the
17:17sky, you can actually aim nearly
17:18directly up
17:20and send the horses to stun him out of
17:21the sky. They get some pretty insane
17:24verticality, by the way. Like, if you
17:27just send them directly up like that,
17:28you can almost even overshoot the seven.
17:30So, yeah, flying horses are absolutely a
17:33thing. Use it to cancel something like
17:34seven's ult, lashes ult, anything like
17:36that. As Paradox, you can ult someone
17:38through your own wall by pressing the
17:40ultimate and then quickly pressing the
17:41wall as the projectile travels out. And
17:43you can use this with your bombs as well
17:45to wreak absolute chaos on the
17:47battlefield. You can throw down a bomb
17:49and then just ult them and keep them in
17:51the bomb just like that, while also
17:53ulting them through the wall. It might
17:54seem counterintuitive to ult someone
17:56when you're right on top of them just
17:58like this, but um the fact is this is a
18:00forced hard CC for at least a second and
18:04a half that keeps them inside the bomb
18:06taking a ton of damage. Most pocket
18:09players buy majestic leap, and that's
18:10because you can do a few very nice
18:12things with it. First of all, it gives
18:14you a nice platform in the sky to carry
18:17momentum forward and hit your barrage
18:19and then slam down on the enemies to do
18:20a bunch of damage.
18:22But another thing that you can do is use
18:23majestic leap to go in and use your
18:25ultimate while being able to teleport
18:28back to safety at a moment's notice. So,
18:29here's what you do. You majestic leap
18:31and throw down your cloak somewhere
18:33safe. Then go ahead and ult and teleport
18:36back. This is a great way to go into
18:38highly risky situations, pop your super
18:40powerful ultimate, and live to tell the
18:42tale. Rat King's rat swarm is a little
18:44unintuitive. One would have think that
18:46it's a great idea to use it up close
18:48just like this because it's almost kind
18:51of a shotgun blast. But as you can see,
18:52there only got one rat on the target
18:54dummy. If I actually use this ability
18:56from medium range now,
18:58I got two rats on the target dummy. And
19:00if I use it from back here, we can
19:02stack up three additional rats on the
19:05target dummy. So, this ability is
19:07actually better used at medium range.
19:09You need to let the swarm actually
19:11proliferate and expand out first.
19:13Otherwise, you're not going to get that
19:15many rats. You don't want to use it up
19:17close like this. Rem is able to perform
19:19a silent heavy melee that's almost
19:20impossible to parry. The way this works
19:23is you have to tag along to a teammate
19:25and then jump off and heavy melee at the
19:27exact same time. And if you do it right,
19:30then look at that, silent heavy melee,
19:33completely inaudible. It's a very cool
19:36tech and a way to
19:38yeah, gain a little bit of burst damage
19:40that the enemies can't hear coming. As
19:42Seven, it's important to remember that
19:44your lightning ball is only restricted
19:46by the tiny dot in the center. So, if
19:48the tiny dot right here hits terrain,
19:50it'll stop. But otherwise, it'll keep
19:52going. So, your lightning ball can be
19:53gigantic and you can still send it
19:56through and have it hit people even
19:58behind cover like that as you can see.
20:00It just nuked that camp. So, it's
20:02important to actually kind of learn a
20:04little bit of geometry with Seven to
20:06understand where the best places are to
20:09send your lightning balls. That way, you
20:11can hit the enemies behind multiple
20:12pieces of cover as they continue to try
20:14to run away. You also really want to
20:16take advantage of the whole lightning
20:17ball. If you just send it skimming
20:19across the ground like that, then the
20:20bottom half of the lightning ball is
20:21doing absolutely nothing for you. But if
20:23you throw it a little bit higher, you
20:25can actually even throw it above terrain
20:27like that. And look at how much more
20:29room we are blocking with this lightning
20:31ball here. And all I've got is the tier
20:33three lightning ball and greater
20:34expansion. It is a very nice area denial
20:36tool. Now, for the most complicated
20:38piece of tech in the entire video, we're
20:40going to learn a little bit of Shiv
20:42movement tech. So, if you've ever
20:43wondered why Shiv players just slide
20:45around firing their shotgun weirdly like
20:48this, um this is why. They can actually
20:50move much faster by doing this than just
20:53regular walking. So, let me show you the
20:54tech in action and then I'll explain how
20:56it works.
21:05So, as you can see, there's a lot going
21:07on there, and I had to dedicate my full
21:09focus cuz it's actually kind of
21:10difficult. So, let me explain how this
21:13works. First up, we are initiating a
21:15slide. [music] Just any old slide will
21:17do. We can dash jump or just do a
21:20regular dash into a slide like that. And
21:22then, once we've initiated the slide,
21:23we're going to stop holding W and start
21:25holding either A or D, and we're going
21:27to look in the appropriate direction.
21:29So, if I look to the left, I'm going to
21:31hold D, and if I look to the right, then
21:34I'm going to hold A just like that. And
21:36then, when we look to the side like
21:37that, we're going to want to do our
21:39shotgun blast, and that's going to give
21:41us a nice boost of momentum in the
21:43direction that we want to go. And then,
21:45after the shotgun blast, that's when
21:46we're going to want to jump and look
21:48back forward and initiate another slide
21:50to repeat the process. So, go ahead and
21:53slide, do our shotgun blast, and go
21:55ahead and slide again just like this,
21:58and we can keep the chain going. And
22:00we're kind of alternating between W and
22:03then either A or D as we do that shotgun
22:06blast. So, after the shotgun blast is
22:07over, I'm going back to W and looking
22:10forward, and we're able to keep going
22:14and keep going just like that. And
22:16because we're sliding, we're using
22:18absolutely no ammo for our alt fire, so
22:20we can continue chaining [music] it. If
22:22you're doing it wrong, then you're going
22:24to end up not really sliding, and um
22:28then you're going to use your ammo, and
22:29you'll still be able to kind of keep the
22:31chain going, but you'll run out of ammo
22:32eventually, and you won't be able to
22:35maintain this into perpetuity. Now, this
22:37is quite difficult, and it takes a lot
22:39of practice, so don't feel bad if it
22:40takes you a while to get it. And if you
22:42want written instructions, I'll have a
22:44link to the wiki article about Shiv's
22:46movement tech in the description cuz
22:47there's actually a bunch of other tech
22:48that you can learn, but I thought this
22:50one was the coolest. [music] As Shiv,
22:51you can weave in a light melee with your
22:53boot kick for a little bit of extra
22:55damage. And in general, you can weave in
22:57melee attacks to help you build up light
22:59and curse faster. It's a nice way to get
23:01a little bit of extra damage. And if
23:03you're really struggling, then you can
23:04also use certain items that add extra
23:06damage like stalker or express shot for
23:08a big burst of damage. Or you could even
23:11throw in something like a cold front and
23:12all of those will help you get into that
23:15werewolf much, much faster. So here's a
23:17cool trick for St. Claire. You can
23:19actually hit people
23:20behind walls if you're able to aim where
23:23their hit box is. The targeting for this
23:26basically just ignores walls as long as
23:28your crosshair is aimed on where an
23:30actual player would be. So as you can
23:33see here, if we do this out in the open,
23:35there's that little targeting indicator
23:36on this test dummy. And so it's the same
23:40principle just with a wall in the way.
23:42And so if your prediction skills are
23:44good, you can hit people, for example,
23:47behind their shop, right? You know
23:49there's a wall in the way. Well, if you
23:51aim roughly where their hit box is,
23:53you'll still be able to nail them. As
23:54Solomon, you should rebind your alt fire
23:56to move your pieces even faster. If I
23:58throw a bishop down and I just move it
24:00normally,
24:02we can move it where we want to go, but
24:03it's a little bit slow. And if I just
24:06tap right click, you can see it's still
24:09kind of a little slow. There's a little
24:10bit of a delay. But by binding the alt
24:13fire to the scroll wheel,
24:16we can move them with basically no
24:18delay. It's like adding instant cast to
24:20your bishops and your queen. So the way
24:21you do that is you pop into settings
24:23here, then swap on over to Solomon, and
24:26scroll down in your key binds until you
24:28get to the alt fire. Then just add a
24:30secondary bind for your scroll wheel.
24:32You still want to keep the right click
24:34though because right click can be used
24:36to float for a little bit of movement
24:39tech as you can see there. But the
24:41scroll wheel just makes this character
24:43feel so much smoother to play. As
24:45Venator, you should try throwing a trap
24:47underneath someone after you hit them
24:49with the gut shot. The sun lasts long
24:51enough that by the time the trap is
24:52ready, it will instantly grab them and
24:55they have basically no way to escape.
24:57And if you add a little bit of duration
24:59onto your gut shots, then you'll even be
25:02able to hit the heavy melee without
25:04being parried and then finish them while
25:06they're trapped. It's a nasty combo. As
25:09Victor, you need to remember that Aura
25:10of Suffering ramps up over the next 8
25:12seconds after you cast the ability and
25:14the minimum DPS is pathetic. It is
25:18nearly five times weaker than the max
25:20DPS and so you want to try and charge
25:23this up before you go into a fight and
25:26only engage after you've actually got a
25:28decent bit of damage ramped up on this.
25:30So that way your life steal is
25:31effective. And once the Aura of
25:33Suffering is maxed, that's when Infuser
25:35is good to activate. Even though Infuser
25:38is 84% spirit life steal with healing
25:41booster, if you activate that
25:44with the minimum DPS, you're getting
25:46barely any healing compared to the max
25:50damage Aura of Suffering. So don't waste
25:53your Infuser and make sure you're
25:54actually ramping up Aura of Suffering
25:55properly, otherwise your damage is going
25:57to suck and your sustain, which is based
25:59on your damage, is also going to suck.
26:01Most players don't know that you can
26:03actually engage with the stamina system
26:05during Vindicta's flight. The default
26:07binds have shift as fly up and control
26:10as fly down. They basically just
26:12overwrite your stamina key binds. But if
26:16you go into settings here for Vindicta
26:18and you rebind fly up to something like
26:21space, then watch what happens. We fly
26:24up into the sky and if I press shift,
26:27I can do an air dash. It is a way that
26:29you can squeeze a little bit of extra
26:32mobility out of flight and it gives you
26:34a way to kind of dodge things quickly in
26:36the air cuz otherwise your movement is
26:38very telegraphed and predictable. But if
26:40all of a sudden you pull out the sick
26:42air dash, boom, there's a little bit of
26:43extra mobility. You'll be able to dodge
26:45things or chase people just that little
26:47bit more effectively. Do you find
26:48guardians to be annoying? Do you think
26:50they do too much damage? Do you just
26:52want to attack the enemies under their
26:54guardian without having to be punished
26:57at all? Well, as Violet, you can do
27:00exactly that. Just put a bit of paint in
27:02front of the guardian and voila, you're
27:04free to do whatever you want by the
27:07enemy team's guardian. And you can also
27:09do the exact same thing to your own
27:12guardian. And what this will do is
27:14prevent it from attacking, which means
27:16that it won't be able to take damage
27:18because the guardian can only be damaged
27:20when it's actually something. So, Violet
27:23can simultaneously make her guardian
27:24nearly unkillable, while also shutting
27:27off the enemy's guardian and allowing
27:28her team room to breathe. It's a very
27:31strong ability to have. Piloting
27:33Viscix's goo ball is one of the most
27:34difficult things to do in this game. So,
27:36here are a few tips to make it easier.
27:38First of all, go fast, which is that
27:40thing where you hold down the left mouse
27:41button to go much, much faster, is
27:44actually kind of bait. You definitely
27:46want to use it to get up on a target in
27:48the first place, but then once you're on
27:49them, it's actually usually better to go
27:52slow and have more control over your
27:54movements. Because when you go slow,
27:56you're able to turn much more sharply
27:59than if you go fast. As you can see, I'm
28:00going slow right here and I'm basically
28:02just doing a circle. But if I go fast,
28:05look at how much harder it is to turn.
28:07Oh my goodness, I have to basically go
28:09around the entire area and even then, oh
28:11my goodness, I'm I'm running into walls.
28:13So, yeah, go fast makes it a lot harder
28:16to actually maneuver the goo ball. It
28:18should really only be used to close the
28:20gap or quickly find a wall and bounce
28:23off of it to hit the enemies repeatedly
28:25just like this. One last tip for
28:27piloting the goo ball is to learn how to
28:29down dash, which is where you double tap
28:32the crouch key to do a quick burst of
28:34momentum downwards, just like that. And
28:37it could be a little tricky to do
28:39consistently during the goo ball, which
28:40is why I recommend actually rebinding
28:43down dash to scroll wheel down here in
28:46the settings for Viscous. It's just
28:48under the movement section here. So,
28:50that way you can enter the goo ball and
28:52then just scroll down
28:54and kind of bounce your goo ball like
28:55that. And this has the advantage of
28:58making it nearly impossible for the
29:00enemies to dodge your goo ball. Because
29:01what people will often do is a double
29:04jump to try and evade your goo ball. And
29:07so, if you jump to match them, then
29:09you'll be able to hit them in the air.
29:10But, if they decide not to jump, then
29:12you'll just jump right over them.
29:14However, if you do the jump and then
29:15realize they're not jumping, you can
29:17quickly do a down dash and just slam
29:19right into them. And also, in certain
29:21vertical parts of the map, having down
29:23dash bound just allows you to navigate
29:26them much more finely. There's some more
29:28advanced dribbling tech as well, where
29:30you can kind of multi-hit enemies by
29:32spamming down dash and your movement
29:34keys on them, but that's a little beyond
29:36the scope of this video. Viper's Venom
29:38is the only thing that can damage
29:39enemies through Petrify. And so, if you
29:42put the Venom on someone and you see
29:43that you're not going to do enough
29:44damage to kill them, quickly Petrify
29:45them for a burst of damage and all of a
29:47sudden your Venom will do more and
29:48they'll be in a pretty tricky position
29:50where they're kind of just doomed to
29:52die. Warden's ultimate is a little bit
29:54misleading because it actually has some
29:56crazy vertical range, but only if you're
29:58actually aiming it up. So, if I go ahead
30:01and activate my ult right now, I'm going
30:03to be able to hit these guys on the
30:04ground, but you'll see that it's not
30:06actually hitting Vindicta. But, if I
30:07just look up,
30:09then all of a sudden I am hitting
30:10Vindicta.
30:11>> [laughter]
30:12>> Which is a little strange. So, yeah,
30:15this is basically just an aim cone in
30:17front of [music] you rather than being a
30:20fixed hit box in front of your actual
30:21character as the indicator would
30:23suggest. So, you can indeed hit flying
30:26targets with Warden's ult from the
30:27ground, you just have to actually be
30:29looking at them. As Ra you can get a
30:31little bit more movement out of your TP
30:32by hitting a dodge roll as the TP ends.
30:35Normally when you TP, you don't really
30:37have any momentum, but that dodge roll
30:40will allow you to keep moving smoothly
30:42in the direction that you're traveling.
30:44And finally, Yamato's flying slash is a
30:46very powerful tool for procking certain
30:48items because it does melee damage, but
30:50it can't be parried like a regular melee
30:52attack. So, she can use life strike to
30:54get a huge amount of healing with every
30:56single flying slash, and she can also
30:58use spirit snatch to steal the enemy
31:01spirit resist and also gain a bunch of
31:03extra spirit power that will power up
31:05her next power slash. When you pair that
31:07with the tier two upgrade on the flying
31:09slash, with no other upgrades here, I'm
31:12still going to do
31:14a crazy amount of damage with that power
31:16slash. 300 damage up from 213. That is a
31:20huge DPS increase. So, there you have
31:22it. That's one tip for every single hero
