Pokémon Unite: Small Guide for Beginners

Pokémon Unite is released a few weeks ago. Since it's a Free To Play, many of you may have already tried it. But the game being a moba, maybe some have trouble really understanding all aspects of the game and especially how to optimize his chances of winning.

Pokémon unite being developed by Tencent , it shares a lot of similarities with another moba available on Nintendo Switch : Arena of Valor . If you have already tried the game you leave on a good basis. More generally, if you have already played some good hours on games like League of Legend , DOTA , SMITE or My Chouchou Heroes of the Storm , you should not to be too lost. However, Pokémon Unite offers a slightly different variation in particular its point counting system.

Moba - Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

The name Moba seems barbaric, but it is a simple acronym meaning that the game is an online bullish fight with several players. That is vast, but the mastodontes of the genre (lol in mind) have imposed a number of rules that will have to assimilate. To start a moba is always a game in team . Never forget it because it is the nerve of the war. If player alone in his corner can work a little in the paddling pool, the reality wall will hit the lonely player very quickly. Whether you are 5 against 5, 4 against 4 or 3 against 3, it will always work in team . Only one weak link in a team is enough to make the team lose. This is why the reputation of the toxic thermal moa is so bad. In short if you are a beginner it will really have to assimilate the rules. For example, it is very important to never leave a game en route, or start making a coffee (even a minute). Whether you are inactive or a bot replaces you and the defeat of the team is virtually assured.

Follow the lines

A map of Moba is generally divided into several lines. In Pokémon Unite , there is usually the top line and the bottom line, as well as a central part we will call the jungle. Depending on the type of Pokémon you have chosen, We will have to follow a line and stick the majority of time . In the way avoid choosing the Pokémon that you like, and try to have a team consistency containing at least one defender, a Speedster and a remote attacker. A support is not mandatory but is appreciated. Keeping a line, it's not just followed stupidly to then attack any enemy there. There are priorities. The first is to stay alive. Never forget that killing enemies is not the goal of the game, but a tool to achieve it . Your priority is to pick up orbs on wild pokemon, which will also allow you to increase your level. If you have orbs on you, and even more if the enemies do not have it, do not go to risk your life for nothing, because it will fly some and would be quiet to drop them down. Play defensive as much as possible by refugeing in your goal. This will give you a shield that will give you a tactical advantage. In addition, if necessary, from life appears regularly next. In the same way, avoid as the plague the fighting in digital inferiority, unless they are all extremely in point.

Look at the map

Following its line is very good, but it is sometimes essential to leave it for a few moments to adapt its strategy. For this It is essential to look at the map as much as possible . Whether to see the position of enemies and its allies, to see where are the wild pokemons, or see if a multiplier of points is placed on a goal. If you can save the life of an ally: do it, but beware, if he condemned and that come and help me means you're going to die with him: go there. On the contrary, redouble with vigilance and play defensive in your goals. After all you will be in digital inferiority. If you do not know where the enemies are, observe the small points representing wild pokemon on the map. If they disappear, it is an enemy just killed them and so are right next door. Be careful with thickets that allow to remain invisible . Some like well you attract in a trap by walking quietly like "I am an easy target" while his friends are hidden next and ready to reread the hair. Do not hesitate to waste a special attack to randomly tap in a thicket before entering and waiting for the Cooldown to come back. On this subject, try to always have your two ready attacks before a confrontation. If this is not the case: timer.

It's my colonel jungle

In addition to the tracks, the rest of the card consists of areas full of wild pokemons. The big central zone is called the jungle. Some Pokémon called Junglers are specialized in hunting wild Pokémon to quickly mount. Their role is to garner a maximum of experience, then regularly to go a hand to the lines needing help before coming back. This allows you to temporarily create a numerical superiority and a surprise effect . We talked about it, the experience is very important. Only one level of gap can make the difference in combat (especially on the levels of evolution and powers). But do not imagine winning a fight with three levels of gap unless you put it on 1 against 1 (and again). The moba are conducive to the snowball effect. Basically, the more we win, the more we have the advantage and therefore the more we win. In case of delaying experience, rather than looking for the fight, it is advisable to kill some wild pokemons to try to catch up. Finally, always have an eye on the chrono **. Some events appear to a specific timing or can be decisive at some point. For example when it remains 1 minute 30, it's time to fight in the central area. In tight matches, win at this stage BOSS's fight is clearly decisive.
