The driftshot and flow dodge

1. Driftshot


How do you do a driftshot? These types of shots are really good-looking, and you can use them for a "shock and awe* effect, or to dodge while you shoot. How is it done tho?

Well, the nitro lasts a second. Driftshotting can be done when you're overboosting and nitroing. When you nitro, wait till the nitro is almost expended, the twist 90° left/right. Your gun will have come out of GCD. Then, fire.

You can chain driftshots on an enfo by activating OB, reversing, and redoing it, if you have endgame nitro and OB. Because driftshotting is a process that takes 7.5s per cycle minimum, and everything just snaps into place at that point. You'll end up looking like this from the top:

It not only allows you to dance at the tips of mortar circles, it also completely removes the need to "check 3" as enfos were needed to do in the past while dancing, since you're literally all over the place.

So go ahead, walk out, and slay your enemies!

2. Flow-dodging



This style needs you to "go with the flow", so to say. It's a mix of @Joey who 's tornado that allows you to adapt to being up close with enemies. I really cannot offer tips, because it only really works when you're in the zone, and you "feel" attacks coming before they happen. But in general, it's a tornado rotation coupled with a little driftshotting and a "half-tornado" move thrown in.

Main tip: Don't be afraid to shoot, it's okay to spam a little when you're evading hard.

 

"Pierce" works very well on a speeder, especially a torp speeder with good perception. Generating "micro-blindspots" every time you nitro gives you a great shot at using the "wildfire" torp+blast combo. However, the tradeoff is that, no matter how skilled you are, you sacrifice HP for every pierce. That is highly dangerous when you're up against a whale. Thus, "pierce" is a strat that must be used when you know the opponent has crit-type or mortar-type guns.

Flow dodging is something that every ship can do, you just need to be "in the zone" for it to work. It is the #1 best moveset for a high-powered speeder who is good at this sort of thing. However, driftshotting is only really possible(and plausible) with torp speeders. Our friend @00starlord00 (aka #Beast_Hunter from my montages) can testify to that.

 

It wasn't intended to be driftshotting, but ended up being driftshotting as a flowdodge
