Hello, I'm Knickles

As a fairly experienced beta player I'd like to welcome you all to Super Monday Night Combat and the ClosedBeta Forums. As you are about to find out on your own, "The Rules Have Changed" significantly. Because thetransition from MNC to SMNC can be a bit rough, I thought it would be helpful to post a list of tips andsuggestions to follow in game and on forum. Hopefully these tips will make your beta testing experience a bitmore enjoyable for not only you, but the small amount of other testers as well. Enjoy!

Rules & Tips when playing SMNC

Money = Experience: This means any money earned from killing pros, bots, and picking up coins willbecome experience. Coin drops give significantly less experience than pro and bot kills, but do give anoticeable edge if you continuously collect them.

Avoiding death is top priority: Because money equals experience, every time you die to an opponentyou are "feeding" them. Die enough to one player and you will find that he will have a significant leveladvantage on you two fold, due to the facts that you have been handing over kills and because you haven’tbeen leveling off bots. Having high earnings means nothing if you have fed the opponents.

Do Not Over Extend: With the extremely increased health. The low lethality creates a false sense ofinvincibility to many new players. It isn't worth running too far behind the enemy lines to finish a kill if you endup dying for it. You must learn that conserving your self is a huge priority. Since respawn times get longeras the match goes on, you put your team at a disadvantage every time you die.

Kill bots!: NOT JUST THE ASSASSIN ANYMORE! In the beginning of the game, every person should bekilling bots and playing conservatively to gain levels. Ignoring bots will quickly cause you to become underleveled, and you will have a significant disadvantage the rest of the game.

Tap bots!:While it is vital to kill bots to progress towards enemy turrets, if you’re not in a position to kill abot entirely, make sure to at least hit it with skills/weapons. “Tapping” a bot will give you the experience itwould normally give out for the next 5 seconds following your damage, and it is an essential tactic if you

pdfcrowd.comPRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

would normally give out for the next 5 seconds following your damage, and it is an essential tactic if youwant to try and gain an advantage over opponents. While you can tap Shadys, Fujis and Jackbots, the cashrewarded from killing a slim but only goes to the player who kills it.

The Juice has changed: Don't expect to go god mode with your juice anymore. Juice no longer willinstant heal you and gives no armor bonus. Juice will give you a damage bonus, a speed boost, andmassively increased health regeneration (as long as you aren’t attacked/burning). You can also use it tobreak out of any grapple, but it will use up nearly all of your juice.

Beware of the edge / Keep an eye on the ejectors: Every OHKO death has been removed except forring outs. It's important to stay away from the edge of the map since an enemy can easily catch you offguard and get a free easy kill simply by ringout. Pay attention to the ejectors. Ejectors kill many unawareplayers. It can be avoided by simply staying away while ejector is off CD.

Check the annihilator!: Can't stress this one enough. The annihilator can be game changing. The cooldown on the annihilator is five minutes. As a contributing member of your team, it's important to bedefending the annihilator at least 15 seconds before the cool down is up.

Grapple / avoid grapples!: Every class has one. Grappling is very important in this game. It can be usedfor many situations. Use it to hold down an escaping opponent. Use it to contain a juiced enemy. Use it toprotect an escaping ally. Use it to cancel annihilator activation. Since this move is so effective against theenemy, you should avoid getting close enough to be grappled by your opponent.

Don’t be discouraged: Remember when you were brand new to MNC? You probably sucked... I know Idid. There’s enough new mechanics to this game where being good at MNC won’t carry over to beinggood at SMNC. Many of us have been playing non stop for about a month and a half. Accept that theyprobably know a bit more than you, and you may get stomped a bit before you can compete. Just hang inthere. I promise that this game is fun once you’ve learned how to play it.

Monitor your HUD: You need to check your HUD frequently to check the status of bot lanes, to watch thehealth of friendlies, and to make sure your moneyball is shielded. It is essential to stopping backdoormaneuvers.

Adjust for Team Composition: 2-3 assassins is no more effective than it was in MNC. Before locking inyour pro, take a look at what everyone else wants to play. Typically the only pros necessary on the team area healer, veteran, and second enforcer (heavy). It will only benefit you to learn to play multiple pros.

pdfcrowd.comPRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

Choosing pros that help create a diverse composition will only benefit your team.

The spawn room heals: Running into the spawn room will rapidly heal your pro. Many times, instead ofrisking death, it is better to run back to spawn and heal up. It's better to spend 15 seconds running to thespawn and back than dying and suffering a 30 second penalty. However, it should be noted that spendingtoo much time running to the base will drain cash and experience gained, meaning repeated returns willleave you outleveled and outgunned.

Closed Beta Forum Rules & Tips

Read the forum!: Before posting a bug in the forum, make sure you check to see if it hasn’t been postedbefore. Example: Graphics are bugged at setting #5. Every single new player reports it. A simple forumsearch or skim of the latest posts is usually enough to avoid duplicate posts.

Stay away from the Balance Discussion Forum!: Seriously. Give yourself 2-3 weeks of playing thisgame before you make a complaint about balance. It’s not that the experienced players don’t care aboutyour concerns, but chances are, you haven’t recognized a mechanic of the game or haven’t gotten used tothe new play style of Super MNC. If you think something is OP, you probably haven’t learned how to counterit. If you think something is UP, you probably just don’t know how to use it properly. We understand you wantto provide feedback, but please give yourself time to learn.

Use Evidence: when making a post about a complaint you have. It’s important to back it up with solidexamples. When giving your evidence and reasons, be prepared to defend it. If you think something is OP,and people disagree, you will most likely get bombarded by counter arguments. If you find yourself not ableto answer well back with good examples, chances are your argument isn’t very strong.

Stay open minded: I myself struggle with this one. When someone feels strongly about a certain topic,usually they tend to ignore logical reasoning from others. The point of the forum is to mix the ideas, not justgive your one opinion and disregard everybody else.

Take insults lightly: If you’re a new player, you’re probably going to get a lot of “get good” or “stoppingbeing a bad” responses. Usually someone who post these responses is trolling you and wants to see anegative reaction, or is just frustrated with you and is tired of dealing with you. Either way, brush it off and

pdfcrowd.comPRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

don’t respond unless you see a legitimate post where somebody put time and effort into conversing. It’s theinternetz... nothing new here.

In that case, Knickles, could you attach the date of the last update when you... well... make updates?

Thanks for this. It would've helped me immeasurably when I first started playing. I wouldn't have wrecked so manymatches by feeding . Hope it'll get the new players up to speed.
