neXi's Quick Tips - 1

Hey guys, I'm neXianXavia, and currently I'm a Tier 9 player in Prismata. I'm not the best player around, but I have accumulated a good amount of knowledge in game about a bunch of the units, and have played a lot of the game.

I thought I'd jot down some tips for newer players who have just started laddering, or are still learning the fundamentals of the game. These tips are pretty unit specific, however there may be units that do similar things that this applies to as well.

Here we go!

• Damage wins games. Make sure you build damage first, and then defend. Even if you have a superior economy and defense, if you don't have enough damage so that your opponent can't defend, you won't win the game.

• Use your first turn to plan your build out. Going in with a plan on how to play a set is far better than building whatever unit is good and hoping to win.

• Count next turn's gold! Drones can be counted from left to right, with a white mark every 5. Alternatively, you can turn on resource production in the options menu under HUD options!

• Always do freeze math when defending against Frostbites, Nivo charges, and Cryo Rays. Know what they can and cannot freeze, and then count the best possible freeze vs the best possible block. Often opponents will have to overfreeze things (for example, using a frostbite on a forcefield), even when using freeze in the most efficient way, so the counter on the right may not be accurate, and if you rely on just that, you will often be over-defending!

• Don't fire Odin unless you're going to breach! Losing a steelsplitter to not breach is generally an awful trade to make. You will lose 1 damage from steelsplitters you would have next turn each turn you do this.

• Xeno Guardian is very efficient, and it is usually usually strong to open with unless the set is heavy red with few other good blue or green units.

Hopefully these tips help some of you guys out, and let you stumble a little bit less when learning the game. 

Thanks for reading, neXi ^^
