how i (personally) play dynaball and win more or less live to the end

this is very long sowwy óωò

i have to make it very clear. that this isn't a tutorial and these are probably not the best plays you can do, ever. this is just how *I* play and what *I* noticed while playing. more like advice i guess. you can do whatever you want forever and win too. ok? remember this please before you try to kill me <3 also i play more passively overall AND THEN I CLUTCH THE END OF THE GAME THAT'S RIGHT WOOOOOOO. i stay shifted most of the time and i'm often in f5

I think of dynaball as more of a strategy game than anything else, with where you stand, where you move to, how you use items etcetera. having good aim is good but dynaball aim is a bit strange so practice is the best way to get better at it. and awareness is so so so important. basically the whole game is awareness based. don't get too caught up in trying to aim that you forget to check around you and get voided

🟢start of the game- GLHF. don't stand in the front of the map and get stuck immediately thankz(i try to stand in the back in general -> harder to aim if farther away) in most maps i can hide behind blocks to avoid this, so that's what i do (i can share my spots in another post if anyone is interested lol) try to grab blocks from the first tnts but everyone will do this so you will get targeted too. getting levi-ed up by sparkly blocks right at the start kind of sucks bc you get no blocks from the explosion and you can't do anything for like 10 full seconds. plus there isn't any blocks to levi up to and you just fall back where you started

⭕mid game- i do 2 things: look where crate lands and get them (if it's safe) and stay more or less hidden or anyway not much movement = less targeted. it's easier to notice those 6 pixels moving across the map than those 6 pixels not moving (my theory)

✅peace time- watch out for tnts shot late that'll get you in peace time. then build and get crates. right as peace time ends players all come out and try to shoot anything that moves with the crates they got on the break. i usually hide right before peace time ends so i don't get targeted and after a few seconds that everyone shoots their shot, i shoot mines. less risk of getting stuck. you can also stuck people that are aiming in this short time

🕺standing- if you're on a raised platform try to stand on the side that has ground below it. in general, always try to stand on something that has ground below it for when you fall

BUT ALSO! if you stand on the platform with nothing below/attached to it(like a pillar) it'll be harder to aim and hit. like this

The sides can be easily destroyed if you stand there bc there are blocks below to aim at but in the center there's nothing to hit other than the platform itself and most tnts aiming at you there will miss (depending on opponents lol) ideally there will be still some ground way below you so if you get hit it's not tragedy

Speaking of platforms/safe spaces and standing. try to not bunch up all together or you'll all be easy targets. when there's a big enough platform that you can space out enough you can use that, but if a solo player built a 9x9 and you don't have blocks to expand, do not go there too, or the next tnt will be sent in your direction for a nice double kill. short version: don't stand close to each other and try to spread out over the map to reduce targeting and risk of getting stuck👍

🧨shooting tnt- general idea is to shoot at the people on the bottom(spawners and powder bomb too) and use items for those at the top (tnt drops, airstrike, line charges, powder bomb and cannon if you can aim) for easier aim and more damage reason. if you're very low and the top platform is very high up it becomes almost impossible to hit your tnt shots. usually the players on the lower side have more surface -> more places for crates to land, good idea to try and kill them first, plus they're closer to the void and don't have anything to clutch on if they fall. try to stick players that are aiming themselves as they're probably standing still for a few seconds. on pillars and sky bases trying to aim at the head can be a bad idea as they can easily move out of the way, often it's just better to aim for the blocks they're standing on

If you're standing on a single block pillar and they're trying to shoot at your head you can often dodge it by shifting to the opposite side of the block (stay shifted to A side when you're getting targeted and watch who's shooting you to dodge it)

Got stuck? surely by this point you're aware of what's around you :) run away from other people if possible, keep moving after the first explosion and after the second. now that it's over you can pick up blocks and/or get to a safe spot

You got stuck while pillaring up? look down at where you are. most of the time a single stuck won't kill you. after the first explosion keep pillaring and do the same after the second. your pillar progress will prob be reset but you're not dead!

🌉bridging/pillaring- 🚨🚨🚨i am Not good at bridging. i can't speed bridge, of any kind. remember this while reading this part🚨🚨🚨

Unless i have like 2/3 stacks of blocks on me i don't do skybases multiple blocks thick. and i don't start pillaring up for it until i have at least around a stack and 32 blocks (number can vary based on where i'm standing (on the y axis)). i try to bridge only where there's ground below in case of a fall

Since there are line charges remember to break up your bridges, something like this is how i do it (often with bigger "holes" too, just an example :p )

When i have more blocks i expand it in this way. a good platform that's less expensive than a full one, it's safe from line charges and if a crate is falling between the lines you can place a block and grab it

Real example what my sky bridge looks like at the end of a game, after many repairs, and with the help of my teammate (ty ty) (i was on the right side they were on the left. my side is more segmented than theirs. i also had less blocks than i would have liked)(and see how we stayed on opposite side of the platform? that's what i was talking about with not bunching up :D)

I use the same principle for pillaring up. 4/5 blocks straight up then i change direction, either back and forth or in a spiral. immune to line charges and you have more ground to land on after a tnt. i stand in the middle of the 2/4 blocks while shooting to minimize the blocks fallen when hit by tnt

These are just the measures i use but you can change it up obv, you can go up ten then change direction idk. do what feels better for you

If you can do better bridging or blocks placing yay!!!! happy for you. i can't so this is just what works for me. you might have to ask someone else for advice that works for you lol :3

items! ✨🎇🎉🎆

📦overall on spawners- try to stick them in hard to reach places so they're harder to break, like on the vertical side of platforms, or above where the team is sitting. if you manage to get close enough to one you can kill the 2 mob spawns quickly and break it before the next cycle... sometimes. just keep trying until you get a slow spawn :p easier way is to have 2 people, one breaks it the other kills the mobs. for this you need a friend or a smart teammate tho. so when you see someone trying to break a spawner near you, stay close by and kill any mobs that spawn. if the spawner is placed at the front of the map it's very possible the other team will destroy it with tnt eventually, so don't go to break an isolated (or semi isolated) spawner at the front of the map, you Will get targeted

🌳creeper spawner- ideally place them on the side of a flat platform so they can walk and target people away from the spawner itself(goes for basically all spawners too) and they don't blow it up immediately. 90% of the time,, they will blow it up immediately. the easier to break as creepers wait a bit before exploding at you. another option is to just let the creeper explode and destroy the spawner themselves, only do this if you have enough ground or the explosion won't do big damage. pillar up if there isn't enough ground 😬

🦴skelly spawner- very beautiful very powerful. place above the opponents or high up anyway, since they shoot tnt, this way they HOPEFULLY don't shoot it straight back down where the spawner is (: to counter: KILL THE MOBS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. even a single skelly roaming can be disaster. i've seen so many people just run past skeletons and let them shoot Multiple tnts 😭 like are we just griefing now

🧟‍♂️zombos spawner(ew word)- multiple of these guys will throw you off the map at the first chance they get <3 they can't wait to void you <3 #insaneknockback. place on the bottom platform where the people above will fall on; or at walking distance like the creepers. to counter: good luck o7 (kill fast and break before next spawn cycle) if there are many, run or pillar up as best as you can to get away. you are not winning the 1v10

🧹powder bomb- spleef time!!! can also be used to destroy crates. not much to say about this one. idk. try not to stand at the bottom of the map on a 1 block thick platform i guess

🐔air strike- on a diagonal usually does more damage. place it anywhere and it'll work, except where it's just void. when you hear the chicken look up to see if it's coming for you. if yes: Do Not Get Stuck. Move.

🔫rocket cannot (the gun)- so fucking hard to aim omg what is that. good to knock down players high up. only shoot it when there's nothing in front of you, NOTHING. it has the hitbox of a house or smth. and explosions will curve your shot so wait for a calm time too. counter: levi. period. (if you're on a sky base and get shot once and survive you'll prob get shot again, can try running back and forth or move to a safer platform before you get shot)

🥂jump and speed pots- jump pot is really good for end game or for when you're the last one alive (you'll get targeted hard and the ability to get back up fast is essential to stay alive). i never drank a speed pot in my life. idk you can bridge with them? no idea

🥛levi- ideally only use when you're falling in the void. i play safer until i have at least one on me, after that i start doing some more risky plays (getting a crate that's exposed/in a "easy to aim at" position; bridge out over void; standing in the part of the sky base that has no ground below; ecc)

🔩line charge- after 5 games of dynaball nobody does straight single block bridges anymore.. and if they are you can kill them :D. good to stop someone from pillaring. still good for bridges. hold onto it until there's a pillar or bridge as shooting in on the full platform doesn't do much (if you think you can survive until that happens)

💥tnt drop- might be the best item right after levis. sky base? tnt drop. pillaring? tnt drop. standing on a single block that's hard to aim at? tnt drop. i try to save these for a good opportunity too, usually mid game when people start skybasing it up. a tnt drop is about to fall on you what do you do? a)move b)move c)move d)get stuck by it. you can answer d) only if you're on a pillar and there's no ground around you ❤

CLOSING ADVICE

don't steal other people's crate :3 or they will hate you :3 and they will try to blow you up intentionally :3

literally be nice. dynaball is a team game so let other people on your team get crates too #share. we're playing to have fun not to win (winning is very fun too but also we're playing to have fun!!)

#they call them pisco “dynaball” yt #best dynaball player ever drops advice everyone read it now!!#mcci
