10 tips to get promoted from Fluffy League to Master League

Hello, it's Daniel Oztekin here!

I've just written this guide of things to help you improve your game, start racking up those wins and rise through the ranks! On my road to ranking 22nd in the world I've picked up pieces of advice I end up giving out again and again, and have compiled them all here for you! So here are ten things to improve your game... hope you enjoy!



1. Have a battle plan.

When you find out what map you are playing on think, what am I going to do on this map this time? Am I going to spawn and move a Bombshell into a really good position? Be devious and sneak a Scrambler to destroy my opponents army? Make sure to take your turns and move units to fit in with your plan. Move your units to fit your plan and keep an eye on your weak spots with runners.

2. Don't play every game the same, react to your opponents choices

Before you go to war with your opponent, you need to make sure to see how you can break their defences and survive the counter attack. Are they spawning a lot of runners? A set of soldiers should let you kill them easily. A lot of 3hp soldiers? Spawn an extra heavy or a sniper, that will do the trick. Take your time each turn, you have as much as you want.

3. Avoid wasting wits

Before you makes your moves, think! Do you really want your unit there? Players will move the same units multiple times very often, and this uses up precious wits. In Outwitters the players that uses their wits best wins! Think where you want your runners and soldiers before placing them. Units are very cheap to spawn anyway, so instead of adjusting your unit, you could just spawn another instead.

4. Don't move runners twice

This is an easy way to improve your game. With how far runners can move, you should be able to place it wherever you want it first time without having to move it again. Think on each map where it will be able to show most of your opponents army, if it will reveal what units they are spawning. It costs 2 wits to create one, moving it again is half of what it cost you!

5. Spawn more soldiers than runners

Runners are in the game to provide plenty of vision across the battlefield. They are not designed to fight your wars for you and are as weak as they are cheap. Soldiers may move a bit slower, but spawn a few and there isn't any chance for runners to get past them!

6. Boost your soldiers

Are you struggling with enemies that spawn lots of runners? Then spawning soldiers and boosting them to 4 health will solve that problem. Spawning lots of bulky soldiers to block your base and your wit spaces will waste your opponent’s runners. It will take two runners and soldier 7 wits to kill your soldier when it costs you just 3 wits to spawn one!

7. Don't hit the base with your runner

Everyone has done this. Everyone still does this. Even Super Titans. I tell them to stop it, it's a bad habit, like smoking. Getting that runner to your opponents base hitting it for 1 damage is very tempting indeed. This costs 4 wits in total. 4 wits that could be used to take out an opponents soldier or spawn a unit. If you go against someone who does this, that’s 4 wits you’re better off than them! Don't do it. Hitting the base is bad for your health.

8. Avoid your opponents spawn space

A good rule of thumb is to avoid your opponents spawn spaces where possible. All maps are designed so that you will never be forced to do so. It will cost you quite a bit to move your units there, only for your opponent to spawn soldiers and snipers and murder your units cheaply. Instead you should focus wit spaces and bases.

9. Take advantage of 'The Fog of War'

The fog of war is the name of areas of the map you can't see. You can see your opponent is moving in it when you see the sneaky symbol in the corner. You should take advantage of this and make things difficult for your opponent! Block your opponents vision with your units and create a space that you can take actions your opponents can't see.

10. Secretly spawn snipers and special units

Following the above point, you should use your spaces hidden from the opponent to create an arsenal of weapons! You could spawn a few snipers to attack the opponent safely, spawn a bombshell to harass the opponent with or demolish the opponent with a scrambler. Anything goes really, the point is to leave your opponent guessing. Be imaginative!
