Hero Basics,Tips/Tricks & Techniques

Players Freefall Tournament
#1

In this guide,I’ll explain the basics of each Hero & some Tips & Tricks.

Gunner

  • Advantages - Insane range.
    Disadvantage - Mobility.
    As a novice gunner you’re main weapon would be you’re primary weapon or so called
    "Assault Rifle" In short - AR.
    Ammo Cap : 60

    Thanks to gunners Insane range the assault rifle can be very effective,It deals a decent amount of damage,The assault rifle works as sort of “Burst” rifle which shoots out 3 bullets per burst.
    And for its secondary weapon - Rail Gun

    The rail gun is a bolt action sniper rifle,which makes it nearly over-powered if you have a steady aim to shoot you’re target.

As most of you know,the three abilities of the gunner.
Q - Tactical Crouch (Increases range +100)
E - Copter Kick (Stuns opponents If used on the target without an active shield)
F - Shatter Bomb (Does Incredible damage)

Effective ways to use Gunner :

While using AR.
About 5-10 bursts of the assault rifle is enough to take out a fellow gunner,scout,assassin,bomber maybe even the commando which has a quite reasonable defence.
Although continuos usage of the assault rifle can be considered as “Spam” Its how players play and they play the “Style” they prefer.

Using the Rail Gun :

Sensitivity wise…

I’d say for people who use low sensitivity to use between the E/N of the word “SENSE”.
And for players who use high sensitivity
Between I/T/Y of the word "SENSITIVITY"

Scout

Advantages - Mobility
Disadvantages - Low defense

Using scout for the first time takes time to get adjusted to,once you get the hang (with the help of this guide) of everything,you’ll be a pro In no time!
Primary/Main weapon : Sub Machine Gun
Ammo Cap : 45

Reasonable range with a decent dps,
The rps of the gun is quite fast which makes the SMG a pretty over-powered weapon.
It acts like an automatic gun rather than being semi-automatic.

Secondary weapon : Doped Saber

Like it says the saber is dope!
A radioactive saber that enables rapid slashes!

The three abilities of the scout :
Q - Turbo Boost (Massively increases the speed of the scout for a short period of time)
E - Thunder Kick (Stuns opponent when the target doesn’t have an active shield)
F - Haze Bomb (Messes up the auto-lock of you’re foes)

Tips & Tricks to using scout

The Double-Slash,In short - DS
The basic way of doing this is by
Click the left button on you’re mouse,the scout takes a slash…while the slash returns click the left button once again allowing the scout to perform a Double Slash.

The Insta-Kill :
Its a rapid 2 shot technique which requires speed and precision of timing.
How its done?

  1. Slash + R, First perform a normal slash and when its about to draw back perform a slash.
    Does about 30k+ dps if done properly.

#Tank

Advantage - Incredible defense.
Disadvantage - Nothing really lmao.
As a new player to the game you’re eyes certain to be get caught by the Tank.
Strong,fast,and a perfect hero to get the cap!
Main/Primary weapon : Heavy Machine Gun

Secondary Weapon : Blitzkrieg Mauler

The three abilities of the Tank
Q - Neutron shell,AKA, Bubble (Avoids any & every damage for a short period of time)
E - Comet Rush (Rushes towards the opponents,slowing them down)
F - Concussion Bomb (Deals area damage)

Effective Ways to use Tank

Using the shield of the mauler can avoid/“tank” damage any one side you are facing.
But the shield can only be used for a certain amount of time.

An Insta-Kill (mentioned earlier for scout) for the Tank :
One hit from mauler + Slam(R) + F
Does insane damage,high chances of even taking the opponent out!

#Tech

Advantage - Everyone Loves You.
Disadvantage - Trash Talk.
A team player perfect for supporting you’re team to victory!
You are able to heal you’re teammates with this hero,meaning you can keep them alive longer!
Main/Primary weapon : Pulser

Secondary weapon : Repair Beam.

The three abilities of the Tech :
Q - Suppressor Turret (Holds down enemies with a gravitonic force,PS - I have no idea either)
E - Nano Surge (Able to heal yourself and players around you by a small amount)
F - Fragmentation Mine (A sort of C4 thats sticks to the surface and does high damage when stepped on)

Effective Ways to use Tech

Spam you’re repair beam on you’re teammates,wait till the the repair beam is 100%.
Press R which releases a sort of “stim pack” which boosts the rps of the guns of you’re teammates.
Thats It really…nothing much else I could help you with.

Blazer

Advantage - Insane damage
Disadvantage - Mobility/Defense
The blazer can cook you some really good Roast Beef! but seriously tho,this guy can do some serious damage on the playing field.
Main/Primary weapon : Flamethrower

Secondary weapon : Heat Ray

The Three abilities of the Blazer
Q - Radiate (Boost attack speed of the blazer and you’re teammates by 30%)
E - Spectral Optics (Allows you to see through walls for a short period of time)
F - Blaze Bomb (Throws out a bomb that spins fire that leads to burn)

Effective Ways to use Blazer

Using the R button repeatedly (while using Flamethrower) pushes away your foes.
Do not over-use your Heat Ray,it can come In handy at times when your at a long range and reloading can take a little why.
Pro Tip : DO NOT GET HIT BY THE PANIC BOMB OF AN ASSASSIN.

Assassin

Advantages - Everything
Disadvantages - Nothing.
Its fast,strong and deadly at close and long ranges.The needlers allow you to spam you’re foes with bullets that poison your foes.
Main/Primary weapon : Ambush Blades

Secondary weapon : Needlers

The Three abilities of the Assassin
Q - Spectral Cloak (Makes you nearly invisible yet noticeable for a short period of time)
E - Catalyze Toxins (Does huge damage depending on the amount of poison you have on your opponent)
F - Panic Bomb (Confuses your opponents leading to them attacking their teammates,also decreases damage by a lot)

Effective ways to use Assassin

Make sure you get your “Knyphoon” Or your “R” ability hits on your opponent completely.
The more amount of hits you have,the more damage your “E” ability does.
Be sure to not “Spam” needlers.

Insta-Kill For the Assassin

Ambuscade/DS (Aim + Left Click) + R + F + E.
Super effective combo which can seriously inflict some huge damage and can even kill an opponent.
Timing of the insta can be either fast or slow,doing it fast means its more effective and makes you less vulnerable to other opponents in your area.

Blaster

<img src="/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b4d607c3124717d497c64e067b7e56b3490f212b.png" width=“232” height

Advantages - High damage & defense
Disadvantages - I’ll think about it.
Perfect for capping,holding enemies off and much more.
Main/Primary weapon : MiniGun

Secondary weapon : Heavy Rocket Launcher

The three abilities of Blaster
Q - Repulsion Field ( Pushes enemies away from you)
E - Asteroid Rush (Same as the comet rush)
F - Micro Munitions (Throws out a cluster of munitions that bomb a certain area)

Effective ways to use Blaster

Using the Q whilecapping helps,the opposing team may have assassins which do melee damage as long they don’t spam needlers.
The Q as I mentioned earlier pushes away foes,meaning you won’t get hit by melee attackers for a short period of time.
F can help a lot too,as they do a ton of damage,using them on a horde can work out really well.

Shocker

Advantages - High damage inflicted when using the Orb Caster.
Disadvantages - Speed & Jetpack
Highly effective at capping,provides support like that of the tech,the Lightning Gun can repair the shield of you’re teammates.
Main/Primary Gun : Lightning Gun

Secondary Gun : Orb Caster

The Three abilities of Shocker
Q - Aegis Device (A forcefield is placed deflecting any shots from outside the device)
E - Innervate (Recharges you’re shield and that of you’re teammates around you & also stuns the opponents that have their shield down)
F- EMP Mine (Places an EMP similar to that of the techs E,but stuns enemies that step on it and inflicts huge damage)

Effective ways to use Shocker

Spam Orbs,yeah…thats it.
Whoop out you’re Orb Caster on Shuttle Bay,From one side of the ammo to the other ammo,slide and fly and spam orbs through the Bay.
The size of the Orbs sent out by Orb Caster varies in size,the bigger it is the more enemies that get.

Bomber

Moved your thread to the right section of the forum :wink:

#5

Thanks!

#6

Its fine now :smiley:

#7

inb4 every single player makes it’s own guide

#9

This thread is for the more “new” players or those who don’t some of what I’ve already stated yet.
This is intended to help out by a little,except the few tips & tricks I state at the end of every class.
Where as,what Nox is doing is intended for the player to “learn” something which might possibly be new to them or so explaining?

#10

Soulflare, I don’t recommend you to use “e” then “R” you will not do a complete Insta, which you will get/do less damage than the Slash+R
The E+R offers you a LOW damage, it doesn’t matter howu much of damage/critical luck you would still do 20k dps and less only, but if you are so freaking lucky you would you a bit more than 20k, like 25-26k, the normal slash gives you 1050 dps while the Thunderkick gives you 255/225 I am not sure of the the Kick’s dmg, sk thats not the exact dmg.
But with the Slash+R you can get a huge amount of damage, which it will give you 20k-100k it usually gives you 20k-50k but if you are lucky you would do up to 100k dps.
Every single upgrade for scout is so important it increases the damage a little bit as well as the Critical luck, it doesn’t matter if it increases your damage or luck by 1% up to 2.5%, the little amount of increase I mentioned to you is really low thats how the upgrades works but still like I said it helps at alot of times. I recommend you to upgrade the Targeting to 5 first.
It would be greater if you do a fast DS then Immediately do the R, literally immediately you would kill a tank with it.
Ill just correct you there, If you want to do an instant-Kill (insta-kill), then I recommend you to do a fast DS or normal slash then IMMEDIATELY do the R, like don’t even wait a millisecond.
And Scout doesn’t have a reasonable range lol, when you kill someone with ds or without it using Saber the enemy will literally see yu a mile away, it is not because of the ping or the internet speed or if the server is broken or not, thats how it works, so you can kill someone when using Saber a mile away, I think the most of you noticed it

P.S: I was thinking to give a scout guides and orher guides about Assassin and Gunner, but since you already posted yours Ill see how people react to it, theres still some mistakes here and there in your Scout’s guide

#11

I’ll cut that out,thanks!
And also I meant reasonable range not for the saber but for the SMG
I’ll be working on rest of the hero’s soon.
Seriously tho thanks for that!

this is clearly outdated.

#13

o,tyty… you did try your best for this guide.

#14

Tank guide
As the fastest class in the game the way to do it is hold shift + w
Also HMG is never needed, tank is man mode all you need is hammer and shift slide and you are best class in game.

Having said that i recommend you reduce the tanks speed, ANDY
not its hp, thats retarded.

#15

Yeah.

#16

Yeah i’d go with speed reduction over defense/hp reduction. Its their scouting ability thats the problem

#17

I agree with @Charlemane2 & @meatcove,If they can reduce the speed of the class alone the tank would get a huge nerf.

#18

@killerbean419 Thanks!

#19

@Gjipie
A simple meaning of outdated would be not having something that is there in the game yet in the guide.
Hence,the guide is not outdated,I’ll be done with the rest of the Hero’s by today,if you don’t find this one helpful,feel free to go check Andrea’s gunner guide.

#21

Yay!

#22

:sunglasses:

#23

A post was merged into an existing topic: FFT Guide by Players

#24

I dont mean tank should be buffed at all, just speed reduction alone
