[@Osbud]

As a switch player with severe joycon drift, playing Damba is a nightmare

[@douglasm2358]

Use the pro controller bro is much better

[@SprunkCovers]

I play Mal'Damba on Switch with Gyro controls, it is actually really fun and not that hard

[@fahoodkhalfan1824]

Perfect timing! I just started with him and he’s fun to play!

[@brokenbiscuit3609]

"Mal'Damba's weapon is unique" Yeah, it's a snake. Honestly tho, this was a really good guide. Just downloaded Paladins today and I am having a blast playing Support!

[@CptnXplosion]

As a damba main, I recommend playing wekonos curse even and a healer. When caut comes out you become far less effective and with wekonos curse you can stay relevant in the late game by dooming any enemy you stun

[@user-ts3mw4ve3g]

welp, caut is automatically applied to every shot now

[@adhipkoshy5982]

0:27 Drogoz phasing from Damba's hexa.

[@indubitubly8358]

7:25 i love it for modern mamba help, since the miss cooldown is now built in yay

[@eccentricdownfall321]

I miss wenko curse be able to damage snipe flying champs or snipers

[@Habibalhoque]

The main reason why I like vora is bc she sorta reminds me of weekends curse

[@iamahermit]

I miss DMG Damba when right click caused tick dmg.

[@mattdragon1253]

Gourd on enemy can give A LOT of ult charge, so dont use it always to heal. Damba ult is REALLY, REALLY GOOD. prob one of the best in the game. So, Gourding an enemy can do a lot. But obliviusly heal is never bad. Morale boost is a must after chronos, it can be even better then DH. (as damage damba DH is a must but heal damba is always>damage damba

[@gandraanoop611]

waiting for the top 5 tier lsit i love ur content related to paladins

[@Habibalhoque]

15:00 is why I like putting eerie presence lvl 2 or 3 as a filler in my dmg loadout

[@CptnXplosion]

Finally!! All my fellow damba mains rejoice

[@niccolocecchinato3296]

[@Habibalhoque]

I have damba at a higher lvl than u, idk why I was so excited for this guide. I'm still gna watch it 10 times tho

[@alexadams2891]

I just went against a level 700 something damba lol. I don’t think anyone is higher than that guy

[@Mrstandonthat]

Hey could please do a raum guide on the best way to play him or different strategies with him

[@majesticthecat1993]

Ive just started playing damba and i like playing agressive or camping 1 spot you can get the super healing gourd on yourself makeing yourself extremely Hard to kill get the cooldown upgrade you are able to spam it

[@martiginebullich8934]

To sum up: only play maldamba if u are a pc player

[@rowdsterrex7845]

If that mending spirits ability was fully auto, it would be "OK" for me.

[@Laith-A]

[@wesleyparish8280]

I usually have no problem with mending spirits i do welll but i just cannot imagine going mending in ranked cos when i ripened gourd i can survive against the flanks and rack up a f ton of healing on the tanks while left clicking flanks and dmgs while stunning their targets... i dont know why mending has always felt lackluster...

[@chupperj3291]

I feel the exact same

[@karburatorskartupelis458]

I dont get the massive cooldown of guard in mending spirits loadouts, i replace that with the dr, for example dr 5 rightclick reset 4 Speed 4 Guard cd 1 And a filler I forgot..

[@Dragon151]

This^. Perma 20% DR is insanely good, and you should always have it in every load out you use on damba

You missed a point where slither cleanse cc such as maeve ult, if it's safe, slither to cleanse maeve ult so u can keep healing ur teammate fast. The fact that in ur video u didn't slither in her ult bothered me😅. Great video tho

It can? Like before ult effect? Cancels it out??? Wtf imma check that...

[@coveredtuba9266]

Hey, I dont know if you mentioned this but with Damba's stun, you can't do it 2 times in a row on the same enemy.

[@rainersustinkins8377]

You can do stun how many times you want on same enemy tho, but after you stun an enemy, there is internal timer of 3 seconds until you can stun the same enemy again :)

[@AndrewChicken]

Yep, I made sure to point that out in the video ;)

[@wesleyparish8280]

I genuinely sometimes just gamble it, i at leat try jumping before hand.... but when you willingly wanna pull something like that off on purpose its impossible

[@kolinaspronok]

Also never play ripened gourd on shattered desert. For some reason it will always bounce off the objective

[@noteblock901]

Make a drogoz guide

[@PRcris14]

What is the purpose of dalmba throwing out the snake though somone plz explain !

It's explained at 2:07, the thrown snake stuns anyone it hits.

[@potato3647]

Hi Andrew I just wanted to ask if resilience is good for maldamba

[@xcedric7433]

Depends on enemies

[@wowo1005]

Question Andrew. When using stun damba, after you land a stun do you want to shoot and start another reload or stun then keep shooting?

[@AndrewChicken]

Before deft hands 3, keep shooting. After deft hands 3? Either works. I usually just reload spam at that point because it's good burst, at the cost of being a bit slower than just holding fire.

[@CptnXplosion]

It should be a combo, (shoot) stun, shoot, stun shoot and then they die 2300 damage if you don't shoot them before the stun

[@MaazKhan-kk3sk]

you know when you get heals from 3 healers any champ is good

[@ahbraveconscript997]

not many games allow you to shoot your snake

[@mattdragon1253]

Feed the spirit is not that good of a card. Sustanance is a better filler fts is ok but not good. Its not even ok sometimes it depends on the teams if you think about it

[@ARatherDapperTapir]

Ying forever!

[@wlaba272]

An honest question. I watch your channel as well as Frost Fangs one and your teammates are always at least "ok" even in casual. More than a half of my matches is atrocious because I get so terrible teammates I want to cut myself xD I have no luck with matchmaking or what?

[@AndrewChicken]

In a lot of my stream highlights, I'm playing with other viewers of my channel. When I play by myself or not in a full party, I get bad teammates from time to time. Even with a full party, sometimes matchmaking just sticks me against really skilled players far beyond the level of me and those in my party, and we get stomped. The videos that I upload are the best of the bunch from my streams or from when I record by myself, and I imagine FrostFangs and other KZbinrs upload their best games instead of matches with bad matchmaking as well.

[@wlaba272]

Damba is good, you have to be braindead to not be able to play him at least "ok". I took him just for trials and after 2 matches I was always at least decent and my team gave me commendations for teamplay and skill... and I'm not the best player at all xD In one of the matches with max gurd I did 100 000 healing trail and 100 000 dmg trial in one match xD and I didn't even tried to achieve that xD he's awesome.

[@karburatorskartupelis458]

14:45 Cauterize on dmg damba??? No... just.. No

[@AndrewChicken]

Uh, yeah. Why would you not get cauterize after deft hands?

[@karburatorskartupelis458]

@@AndrewChicken Dambas reload does not distribute caut, would you rely alot of credits for one shot after each realod which might not even hit, does not make much sense to me

[@rainersustinkins8377]

I aggree, damba is a really poor caut distributor, almost like term..

[@AndrewChicken]

HIs primary fire still applies cauterize though. Caut lasts for 1.5 seconds, which is more than enough to cover his reload time with deft hands 3. It makes it so that while you're reloading the second time, the person won't get all their health healed back by the time you're ready to shoot them again. Y'all are just wild, thinking caut isn't a good thing to buy when you're trying to go for kills.

[@rainersustinkins8377]

@@AndrewChicken Enemies are not static tho, I find alot of flicking and fast direction change when stunning w damba, so in result especially little bit further fights the shot after reload wont always hit, i think other items would work better instead
