Let's discuss CTF strategies

What the title says. Us forum users gotta stick together and give eachother good strats and tips so we can crush the nonforumers.

One strat that I thought of, but requires voice chat, is a way to use OB while carrying the flag.

Speeder 1 will hold the flag.
Speeder 2 will be behind the flag carrier.
Speeder 2 will activate OB.
Speeder 1 will activate OB to hand the flag to the speeder behind him.

As far as I am concerned you can carry the flag while OB is active, but if you are carrying the flag and activate OB it will drop.

Anyone have any more strats? Double tesla bolt maybe?

 

If that works, it will be very hard to stop. I was thinking dual tesla shield on enfo to carry. I’m thinking a new map because there needs to be flags at each end.

 

Yea I been leveling up my leg swift torp for the enforcers because I expect lots of tesla shields this event

 

ideal team:
1×fixer (normal)-every good team has a fixer
1/2×shooter-ideal for guarding the flag, can be effective counter to double bubble/selfish fixer/defender with right setup
1/2×speeder-hunt down enemies who are trying to capture your flag
1/2×enfo (double bubble)/defender/fixer (selfish)-to carry the flag
can be perfect with good cooperation and when everyone does what he's supposed to do (and that will never happen...)

 

Or an enforcer friend

 

Yes please Mr Whale I play enfo in special battles, and we’re friends

 

I guess that the best way how to play Capture The Flag mode is by sticking together to protect a player, that has captured the enemies flag and destroy a unfriend that carries your team`s flag once your team mate has reached at its base!

 

Games posted above.... Defender CTF Strategy.
Goal. Keep the game as low scoring as possible.
Method. Stay around your flag and destroy all unfriends who come close. And touch your flag so it goes back to home base. Once u see the unfriends distracted later in match. Make 1 to 2 dashes at their flag. Or or help lead friends flag carrier back to home base for final win. This method will create 1-0 games. And lots of coins for Defender boat. Damage is massively key in this position. And also being able to be the final flag carrier. The tactic is knowing when to leave your home base. But realistically. It isn't in the first 2 minutes as a defender. Not in this game mode.

Now one exception to this. One of these games two shooters stayed back to guard the flag. So I charged all game. We still got the win. Read your teams boats and what they are doing and adjust in the game to best take advantage with your massive h.p. health. Happy Hunting Big Blues.

So you still have to carry the flag for a little bit for coins? Great advice btw

 

Yes. You carry the flag either thru retrieving you teams flag when unfriends grab it.
And also escorting enemies flag to home base.

But early game. Stay around home base.

 

you can get 9 coin wins withot touching the enemy flag (only retured our flag once or twice and killed enemy flag carrier twice)

had more wins like this, but I am too lazy to search the screenshots and battle logs

 

Nah, just play speeder with scrub teammates and keep going for the flag.

 

best statergy is to float
i lose always anyway so better take blame for it.....who am i kidding i dont play anymore

 

Anyone that's close to my infamy1400 wanna fleet with me? I'm a flag escorter

 

Here is what the matchmaking has had me up against, teams full of speeders WTF! Is there any possible way to win here?

 

Yeah, there is. DEFEND like hell. I've win that kind of game before but i always have 2/3 teammates who is also defending.

 

Congrats, no luck here, we keep getting zapped, then they throw up their shields, and swap the flag amongst themselves. Just not sure why there are so many matches like this.
