April 26, 200620 yr For Portal Killers: One helpful strategy that helps portal killers oddly enough relates to Real Estate in the sense that both revolve around three things: location, location, location. By utilizing the spot left or right of the respawn point, you can be in range of the portal, and at the same time be able to counter those pesky spinners without running through the hordes of npcs (or yelling at others to kill spinners, which most people do). As soon as you approach a portal, stand in one of the two spots and start attacking. When/If a spinner spawns, attack it. Keeping in mind, you do not have to kill the spinner, just direct it's attention to you. This strategy is especially helpful when soloing a portal.

April 26, 200620 yr Author Thank you very much, just thought i'd try to help increase winning percentages to draw more popularity to the game.
April 26, 200620 yr It's still really sucks that we can't go through the monsters. Thisnotmain112 Combat'The' Clan
April 26, 200620 yr Thats a helpful hint, but it'd be smart if only one or two people go to those spots. My reason for saying this is that once enough monsters are out, if your in those spots you completely screwed, seeing as how you'll be trapped, unable to help at the next portal. I believe all other players should attack from the back end, so they can freely move and attack the gate, and not get attacked by npcs. [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.
April 26, 200620 yr It's still really sucks that we can't go through the monsters. Although if it's true that monsters all spawn from that spot inbetween the two red squares, 12 people of the team should be able to block off the whole source of monsters coming in, 8 of those attacking portals by melee and 4 by range, mage, or halberd. The rest can attack the monsters that are able to go through players defending the VK. I just wish something like that would be coordinatable (word?). Maybe in a few months once there aren't so many people per world at the place it could work.

I believe all other players should attack from the back end, so they can freely move and attack the gate, and not get attacked by npcs. Attacking at the "front" helps because it distracts more of the spawned monsters as well as putting you in great position for the spinners. If you find yourself getting stuck once the portal dies or is nearly red-barred you should start clicking "behind" the portal so that you immediately run out of the crush of monsters. Follow this up with a quick streak laterally and you will be clear to the next portal. Rarely, no matter what my tactic I get surrounded. Instead of trying to bash your way out simply remove all of your armor and get destroyed. :D The back should only be attacked by those with low defense or poor armor... that is, if they are not doing their correct job of defending. :P PM me in game to use some skills of mine (glories/potions) free or to ask a question.Fire Cape - 04/29/06 Lvl 104RAHK's Pro PC Gear and Guide(clickable) Tired of hack and slash?

April 26, 200620 yr Good advice because it's annoying to be trapped by brawlers and such and not being able to get to the spinners or just away.

Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender.

April 26, 200620 yr Author Gracias, again. Sorry for my spelling of without (withing) apparently didn't proofread well. Heading out for the night, pleasant morning/afternoon/evening to all.
April 26, 200620 yr Nice tip, the pictures help those that do not already know where these spots are.
April 26, 200620 yr I figured it out, and also figured out that the monsters will trap you so you can't go to the next portal which really sucks.
April 26, 200620 yr yea that is a good place for the level 80s to 100s to stand because they can survive the combined fury of all those monsters... Best place if you can't take the heat of course is to run to the backside of the portal.
April 26, 200620 yr Sometimes when i want so show off i go straight to the southern portals and solo them before any other of those teams show up. Its cool to see that you can kill a portal on your own without the help of others :D and the spinners are easy to kill from those spots :wink:
April 26, 200620 yr Author Please also understand that if you approach a portal and you cannot reach the spot, don't attack the portal for it will be pointless. Simply go after the npc's if your combat is high enough.
April 27, 200620 yr Author Welp, doesnt look like anyone else is posting, so, hope someone got some use out of it.
April 27, 200620 yr It's more fun to just throw some ancients into the monster logjam in front of the portals, you catch the spinners every time, as soon as they appear. :P Check out this cool browser gladiator game!
