So I get jobbed on a Cit run with Sharkiez tonight, and he expresses surprise that I have a Golden Citadel trophy, yet I’m only apprentice/proficient in sword fighting. I told him that I don’t do rated swordfights, only group fights in SMH’s. And the honest truth is, I know how to group fight – especially when I’m with a group of other people who can group fight. Problem is, you get too many master+ swordfighters who try to do a Cit Run swordfight like a fight against another player. IT DOESN’T WORK! First of all, your opponent is using a weapon you can’t have. Second, he’s using an extra color that you don’t use in PvP fights. Third, they may be ganging up on you – but you’re too busy trying to build your insta. When in doubt, I always read up on the YPPedia to see what they say about things – according to the YPPedia, insta’s sometimes work, but the real trick is to overwhelm the bot with as many blocks as possible before he can clear them. Sure, an insta can do that – but only if you get one. When in doubt, do this – teams of 3, and big sprinkle/small strike as fast as possible.
Save the insta’s for the tournaments…
