Guide

Playstyle

  1. V the front line, 2 the back line to apply debuff, then reposition / keep DPS
  2. Try to NOT use 1 but rather V (less ammo, more spread)
  3. If enemy blob has flamers / zykalian, ignore previous instructions and try to snipe them with 2 as hard priority
  4. Be careful about musket liquid fire, divers, fire rune
  5. Always cycle V and 2. Playing zykalian from far-away with only 2 is losing 50% of your dmg
  6. ALWAYS X-MOVE after shooting, don’t stand still
