How i came up with it.

You can skip this section if you dont want to know how i came up with it.

When i got the game i instantly fell in love with the Phase Orb, because i really liked how it looked and how it worked, when i started using it more on Online Multiplayer i noticed that the Everybody i come accross tries to avoid it (ofcourse its a flying fart cloud of death). After a few days my brain just had this though about using it as a tool to force the Enemies to go where you want them to go (in most cases).

How to use my Technique.

First of all you must find a perfect spot where you can force them to go where you want them to go.
So lets take for example Aurora. Everybody knows Aurora, Right? RIGHT?!?! *Ehem*

When you find your spot, you must first fire the Phase Orb to the direction your Enemy you DON'T want him to be. So when you fire the orb you will go to the place where you think your Enemy will go, in my case it's up.

If your Enemy decides to go the other way rather the way you expected him to go, then you have to basicly do it again but in a different area. But in most cases he will still try to hunt you down through the way you wanted him to go.

ALWAYS go the other way in which the way you shot the orb, because that thing will suck you up and kill you...

Some tips.

This technique works best if you're trying to take down 1 guy.

You can always use some help from friends to make sure you lure your pray to the area.

Thanks for reading.

So i hope this guide will help you get some more kills while in deathmatch, if not try to rely on weapons you're good at.

Thanks! I actually never had a developer comment on my guide, mostly because my guides aren't that popular. This is quite an honour for me.

That's the kind of thinking you need to use Phase Orb!

Discharge + Flak is my personal taste. Lag can be an issue, and you need to learn how to aim, but I find the discharger to be my favorite weapon followed by the kasainami. Getting direct hits with them is so satisfying. A quick shot from the flak cannon will finish off any remaining health.

I find the phase orb to be better suited for smaller maps and when there are a lot of players. Strong and slow attacks thrive on chaos that distracts others. Also, you never want to use the phase orb on the ground. You move slowly and become an easy target. Instead, jump and charge it in the air because you wont lose speed.

The best counter to the weapon is the boost utility. I know that whenever I've been caught in an orb, a quick boost would always save me unless I boosted at the wrong angle (boosting closer to the orb with an ordinal (diagonal) boost is the way to go... most of the time).

Well, sorry for my essay, but I wanted to give out my own knowledge and my strategies for this weapon

Well as long as I helped you, I'm ok.

yeah, I usually use the pulse rifle+nail gun, but now i'll use phase orb+nail gun to corner everyone >: )

ender_scythe 19 Jun, 2015 @ 10:05am

yes, that blue firey thingy of doom

Dot [author] 19 Jun, 2015 @ 10:05am

And i do tend to use only Pulse Rifle and Phase Orb, its my favourite combo.

Dot [author] 19 Jun, 2015 @ 10:05am

Pulse Rifle

Good guide, you should research the other weapons, like the phase rifle (or whatever its called) and put them in a single strategy guide.
