General tips for playing Gunbound
- Learn a certain angle. Using different or random angles all the time makes it harder to learn how to shoot, because you are changing both angle and power between shots, in various winds. Learning one angle, for example 70, removes one variable completely.
- Take the kill if you can get it. You are playing to win, if someone gets mad at you for stealing their kill, they can get over it. The win bonus is much greater than a kill bonus anyway. If someone takes your kill, brush it off and look towards the next target. Working as a team makes it easier to win than if you were to try to do everything yourself.
- Be careful when landing. If you're frog, don't land on top of a Nak, that's just not smart. Know your mobiles weakness and usefulness and land accordingly.
- If you need one kill to win, focus on one enemy. It's a waste to have everyone on the team going after a different enemy. You can lose games, especially close games, if you waste time and effort trying to horde your own kill.
- Know how to use delay. If you can outdelay your opponent, you can sneak in an extra attack and possibly kill them. Shot 1 uses less delay than shot 2, which uses less delay than the SS shot. There are appropriate times to use all the shots. Items like duals use a lot of delay. If your opponent is using shot 1 and you dual, they may get three shots in to your one.
- Watch the wind. So often is wind used as an excuse for missing a shot. It is no excuse. Watch the wind guage for the fireball icon, indicating wind change. Know when they are coming and plan accordingly.
- Learn to time kill, if you're down 3-2 in a 2v2, kill them both at the same time to win.
