Tips and Tricks on How to Get Better at Blade Ball

First things first in Blade Ball, blocking. It’s not just about timing; it’s about anticipation. Block before the ball even gets close. Why? Because your block resets the moment you hit the ball. Time it right, and you can block and counter in one fluid motion.

Use Certain Abilities to Help You Survive

Now, onto abilities. You’ve got options like “Pull” and “Force Field,” and you need to use them wisely. “Pull” lets you yank the ball back, tricking your opponent into blocking early. Once they’ve committed, hit the ball back. Their block won’t reset in time, and you’ve got yourself a point. “Force Field” is your defensive powerhouse. Activate it, and any incoming ball gets deflected. Use it to close the distance and catch your opponent off guard.

Learn What All Abilities Do

Learn how each skill works in Blade Ball. It’ll take a while to get all of them, but learning is how to improve. Know how they operate and what they do so you can expect the unexpected. Many early players on Blade Ball get surprised when a ball suddenly stops or gets ultra-fast heading toward them. If you know the abilities your opponents have, it’s half the battle.

Sensitivity and Curve Shot

But we’re not done. Sensitivity settings are your secret weapon. Crank it up to move your character faster, track the ball more efficiently, and curve your shots. Yes, curving is a thing, and it’s a game-changer.

The curve shot is a technique that’s not explicitly explained in the game but can give you a significant edge. The concept is simple but effective: look in the direction you want the ball to curve. If you look left, the ball will curve left; look right, and it will curve right. But here’s where it gets interesting. You don’t have to be facing the ball to execute a curve shot. You can look away, curve the ball, and still be protected by your block. This throws off your opponent’s timing and can get you some easy points.

Change Abilities

Once you’ve mastered some abilities and upped your survivability, now you can play around with more skills. Reaper is a passive that is not to be taken lightly, especially when you’ve started killing opponents. Infinity, Phantom, Swap, and Freeze are all great once you know what you’re doing. Don’t go into a game thinking because you’ve got S-Tier skills that you’ll win. Pros can use the worst skills in Blade Ball and undoubtedly mop the floor with players.
