have you ever wondered how to counter abilities?
at times, it can be really annoying to have someone rush at you with an ability, especially when they have a better evolution than you. and if you don’t know how to counter, it can be pretty exasperating to break the combo they have on you.
so in this post, i’ll show you how to counter abilities.
(note that this is not the only way to do this, there are other ways as well)
so, the first thing that you are going to want to do when they start rushing you with the ability, wait until they are about to hit you. then, press w for a small amount of time, just a little tap, forward or backwards, it really doesn’t matter. this makes it so that you get either closer or farther away then they expected, so their reach will be put off as they will hit a little bit earlier/later than they expected would work.
this will cause you to get the first hit instead of them. at this point, you’re going to want to keep them in a combo, because plain pvp won’t work as their hits take more damage than normal - if you were to pvp normally and hit, say, a little more than half the hits, they would still kill you due to their heightened damage.
so after that hit, you are going to want to try to combo them. however, unlike what you might be used to in combos, you should w/s-tap as much as you can. strafe as well if you can, though it can be hard in some situations.
now, some people find it hard to keep combos. luckily, you don’t have to keep the combo until death. you just have to wait until their ability is over, in which case you can either continue comboing them, pvp regularly, or just use your own ability against their cooldown and trap them against the wall.
