Rushing is still alive in Pocket Legends. How you might ask, simple. Heres how:



Rushing is no longer called rushing. It is now called "Strait-Pathing".


Now I got your attention. Want to know what is/how to Stait-Path? Of course you do!


What is... "Strait-Pathing"?
How do I "Strait-Path"?
Did STS intend or allow "Strait-Pathing"?
How do I let people in my party know about "Strait-Path"?
How do I preform a "Strait-Path" more effectively?
Wait... This is still not a Rush?
Corner trick?


What is... "Strait-Pathing"? - Strait Pathing is clearing out only parts of the dungeon untill the boss spawns.
How do I "Strait-Path"? - To Strait Path, you just clear dungeons in the fastest and most effective ways possible. An example would be Ao3 - This Ends Now! It is a large map with many paths. Use the corner trick right of the back and take all all the blues. Run past all yellow aliens and avoid treasure rooms.
Did STS intend or allow "Strait-Pathing"? - YES! STS made it where the boss spawns after a certain amount of kills. So then obviously, yes its allowed and intended.
How do I let people in my party know about "Strait-Path"? - Strait-Path is a particularly new term. Until awareness is raised about this then its going to be quite hard. I suggest Strait-Pathing with experienced groups or with friends until this becomes more public.
How do I preform a "Strait-Path" more effectively? - Experiment Experiment Experiment! Run matches and try figuring out how many aliens you need to clear to spawn boss and then make a path you will run every game. I haven't done much strait pathing yet so I have not found the most effective and time efficient paths yet.
Wait... This is still not a Rush? - Unfortunetly this is not a actual rush. The Rush is... Crushed. This is the best thing we got, Its still quite effective. Once people adapt to the new system, this will be only a couple minutes or so less on a standard rush vs. a 15 minute map clear.
Corner trick? - The Corner Trick is pulling large mobs. Having the entire party stand in a corner and cast group damage spells. This is the best way to clear high level mobs in Ao3 and is a time saver alone.

If anyone has any questions, concerns, or comments then please feel free to post them!

In re the bolded part above: might I recommend that you continue to do this with like-minded individuals even if/after your term becomes public? And my thanks for posting this. Now when some dufus or group of dufii appears in a game I'm hosting screaming, "strait (sic)-path the boss", I won't even have to say, "wha.....?". I, too, will be able to save time and boot them immediately.

So you are posting that the new way to play pocket legends is the same way we have been playing since May? Well, thanks, I guess ...

How is having to clear down to 14 aliens considered the same as rushing? It's not even close.

Crushing the Rush is never been worse. I hope the game was like the usual.

Avoid yellow aliens. Don't go to treasure rooms. and you can get boss to spawn with more than 14 monsters left. Called experimenting. Either that or waste time killing yellows. Your call. Plus with a full group of experienced lvl 50's you can clear blues without having to stop much. Its almost the same as the tedious 2 minute walk back in the rush days.
