Parry timing
Don't parry too early — a parry has a short cooldown, and spamming it leaves you open. Wait until the ball is close, and parry a little earlier as it speeds up. Watching the ball rather than other players helps you react in time.
Positioning
Keep some distance from the ball's current target so you have time to react when it switches to you. Standing in open space avoids getting trapped near walls or other players.
Curve your shots
Moving your camera while you parry changes the ball's direction. Curving it towards opponents who aren't expecting it, or sending it straight up, makes the next parry harder for them.
Pick an ability that suits you
Abilities can save rounds:
- Movement abilities help you escape close calls.
- Abilities that slow or freeze the ball give you time to react.
- Try a few and stick with the one that matches your playstyle.
Lag and coins
High ping makes parrying harder, so choose servers with low latency and close background apps. Coins from wins buy crates with swords and explosion effects — trading lets you get specific cosmetics faster.
