- Play the opponent, not the game. Notice what your rival keeps doing and punish that habit.
- Learn the controls alone for two minutes before you invite a friend. Fumbling the basics is the fastest way to lose a match you should win.
- Because this is a Multiplayer game, expect surprises — real opponents do not follow the patterns bots do.
