Appreciate your help as always!!

[@mrdocena8082]

How about a Guide of how to quickly reach Raiders for team fights/rescues? Most people Dragon Change the moment people start a team fight, rather than using Instant Transmission, Floating Device, etc. As well as a Guide of WHEN/HOW TO LEAVE A FIGHT. Most just stick around until their Dragon Change ends, ending up dead.

[@LordDarkDan]

Late but something I'd like to add on avoiding clashes and about vanish attacks. There is such a thing is a counter vanish attack, rather than just doing one raw as Ironcane demonstrates. The advantage of a counter vanish attack is even if your a lower level than the Raider, A vanish counter attack will allow you to hurt the Raider with melee! However this requires you to not only time the vanish attack but to react correctly When a Raider commits to a Melee attempt and are soaring towards you (The locked tracking animation where they hold their fist just to their side behind them while gliding towards you) now is the time to vanish attack! If done correctly, they'll stop moving forward and be in a brief shock/stun pose (Essentially acting as if they'd been briefly hit as part of the regular melee combo animation) before the vanish attack hits them and knocks them away. Keep in mind, Vanish Counter Attacks are only effective against Melee rush attempts, Not Melee Supers! The difficulty comes in the form of distance, if they do it from max melee range its pretty easy to counter, but if they get up close your not going to have much if any time to react. The Raiders can do this as well so if there's only two of you don't spam melee all the time trying to get a swing in for your teammate to land a super. As tempting as it may be a Raider will use this as a chance to vanish attack you for free and keep moving. Vary up your timings and try to only go for it when your too close for them to try and react to it. This is honestly the most satisfying to pull off on cocky level 4 Raiders who just try to melee you thinking you can't hurt them anymore, fly away from them as if fleeing and watch them, then do a counter the moment they try to swing at you. This works even better if you have a fast super attack that combos from a vanish such as Vegeta's Galick Gun or Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon. As a Raider, you don't need to rely on Vanish Counter Attacks due to the passive Melee Counter on lower level Survivors but this will let you keep moving and will deal more damage then simply letting it happen. But if your dealing with a survivor trying to punish you for melee attempts, honestly just sit still and each vanish they attempt will just cause you to knock them away. Or better yet use super moves/fly away and ki blast. If they are the same level or higher, its a different story but you usually hold the advantage with no time limit so just keep the mindgames going. When being grouped up on its going to be practically impossible to deal with everyone but try to keep your lock on with a Surv trying to lock you down with melee attempts, a counter vanish attack like this can let you move around and deal damage whilst avoiding most blasts/supers in the process.

Happy to help!

[@citrussockawn2245]

Hey man I was in today's stream and just wanted to say thank you for this guide it's answering all my questions

[@cagethelonewolf]

I think the idea of teleport behind the raider is dodge a melee right as it's about to hit you so you counter and don't miss being left hanging in animation, if your a dchnage saver i guess you can teleport for the kick. Under utilized for bad tracking

[@HopeEnstine]

I have to say. Thank you so much fo even going into detail on the small/minor stuff, like directional for the melee stuff. I know have won 3 times in a row xD and all the other extra tips

[@zay9232]

You missed yelling in the mic for the guy with one dragon ball to give it to you the guy with 6 dragon balls but other than that (W Vid)

[@ironcane]

LOL next time i gotchu

[@zay9232]

@@ironcane i litterally gave the dragon balls to some guy when i litterally had 6 and he completely sold and the only reason I gave them to him was because he was innocent Buu

[@KonaSquid]

How do you deal with survivors that hide behind crates in caves and just keep vanish attacking you when you approach? Just dealt with some guy named Fade-195 doing that while I was Frieza. We were both level 3. I don't even know how they do that. When I'm survivor and try to vanish attack it always misses and/or I get hit.

[@joxfernandez6096]

Thanks for this great tutorial. I've been playing for about 8 days or so and this will help me a lot. I would only like to ask you one thing, it's something that happens to me almost often, especially with the vegeta, when you're looking for the dragon ball, they always know where you are. Maybe because the Raider has the dragon radar what to do in a situation like this? And if possible also how to avoid the blue ki do you know where you are.

[@itsatentaquil3152]

I can explain this: If the raider constantly knows your location it is due to the radar and they perhaps have a few dragonballs themselves. They will CONSTANTLY pursue you even if you're across the map. What I recommend doing is leaving the dragonball in the cave on top of a box but don't be in that cave yourself. If he falls for it push them inside if he doesn't let them take the dragonball and find a way to steal it(Rocket launchers, knockback skills etc) You make this choice, there's nothing wrong with running away to keep a single dragonball away. For the blue aura: There is a skill to reduce it but honestly only 2 raiders can ki sense(Cell first form onwards and super buu onwards) Best thing you can do is have a stun(Trap device being your basic but there's a bunch of others) and use your escape skill(change missile, bike,etc). Again, you can bait the raider into a cave if you pretend to look weak and helpless or use this advantage to steal from the raider or stall. Depending on the raider level you make that choice.

@@itsatentaquil3152 I really appreciate that you answered me. I really needed the advice. This will help me even more to improve as a survivor Thank You.

[@itsatentaquil3152]

@@joxfernandez6096 Any time and the most important thing you should remember is to have fun, trolling the raider to know there's ways they're getting mad because of the shenanigan that happened before their eyes is what makes survivor fun!

Ofc!!

[@divinessgaming]

This was definitely well needed

[@The_WIll_OF_D99]

the 2 major thing you missed at the end is not mentioning combos from the vanish attack as the Survivor. 1. you vanish into them and knock them back you can cancel into your super and combo from it. (it only works on some supers that are fast like SBC for a example.) 2. Just like Cell The survivors have equip After image you can cancel it mid animation or a successful escape and punish the raider or stun them instantly that can help you get away or punish them with a powerful super or a even bigger punish if you stun them into a more powerful super Regardless this was a fantastic video man you covered everything very well 100% I am glad you even mention about Frieza's level 2 Ki blast being capable of beating everything else thats not a beam like ki blast (like android 18 or second form Frieza)

[@ironcane]

Appreciate you man! Apologies about missing the vanish combos, didn't consider that. And I didn't include the after-image thing because that's tied to a skill that some players may not have, kinda wanted to keep it to the basics but appreciate you mentioning it!!

Thank Ironcane I like your content it's so helpful

thanks for watching!!

[@winboyjlg]

You can try to get really close like within around 15-20m if you want to hit a kamehameha kind of super attack without the raider standing still but ofc make sure he’s not focusing on you. Otherwise you will get smack on the face. Vanish kick can counter raider melee attack even if you are on lower lvl. Beware this only works when you see the raider is charging at you with melee. It’s not easy to pull it off becoz you only got a split second to react. And ofc you can also do that if you’re raider and survivor tried to melee hit you. This technique is very important on high lvl play so I do recommends people take times practice it.

[@nicolosalvemini9883]

I still don't get how the ki blast battles work: I can spam my attack and not a single blast hit the enemy. I don't know if i had to aim manually or if i have thr get closer. The raider simply flies around and avoids all of my attacks. But when the raider shoots at me every single blast hit. Pls explain what I am doing wrong😅

[@ironcane]

it depends on the ki blasts and the distance/direction the raider is flying away from you

@@cirobottignole1920 After 3 or 4 Minutes, quit the matchmaking and start another matchmaking. Sometimes after 2 to 3 minutes, people get locked into a "dead room", a room where only leftover players end up in (which can take tens of minutes to fill up). By quitting the matchmaking and starting again, you'll hop out of the dead room and jump into an active one. EDIT: Yes, the matchmaking system is busted. They've fixed it since the beta, but it's STILL barely functional.
