CTF : Capture the Flag
Preface
I decided to make this guide because I reached my 30.000 CTF kills .. (And now I'm close to 40k !! :D)
Moreover, see all the questions which were asked about the way to play this awesome game mode, I couldn’t have resisted to make a guide for explaining it :banana:
The guide contains the following information:
What is CTF?
How can I become good to it?
What are the maps I can practice it in?
What’s a CTF game progress?
And some more :p
______________________________________
1st question: What is CTF?
First of all, CTF means “Capture the Flag”.
Why is it called like that? That’s quite easy to guess :).. Let me explain you the rules of this game :D!
You have two teams, a Red one and a Blue one. Those two teams have two goals : to defend their Flag, and Capture the other’s team Flag..
Hehe! This is why it is called Capture the Flag.. You’re following? :D
______________________________________
2nd question: What’s a CTF game progress?
They firstly spawn into a special room called “Spawn room”
7528
You must protect your flag, and to bring opponent’s Flag to your Flag room… Here is your Flag room
7527
Secondly, players of each team go to opponent’s “Flag room” to get their flag.
7548
To take their flag, just walk on it..
Since you do so, there should be a message appearing saying “[TEAM COLOR] has the flag!
7530 7529
Thirdly, you have to bring back their flag to your base.. But your enemy won’t let you do‼ They will try to get it back! This is why they will try to kill you
Then, there are 3 possibilities :
1) You stay alive
Gratz‼ You’re still alive!
Run like crazy to your own Flag room, and walk on ur Flag!
You’ll receive a message “[TEAM COLOR] scored!
7532 7531
2) You die, but one of your team mates takes the flag again :
If you die, their flag falls on the floor And message
[TEAM COLOR] dropped the flag!.. They only have to walk on it to bring it back..
(Young people, don’t look at the picture : I’m dead on it.. :banana:)
7533
But if one of your team mates walks on it, your team gets the flag again‼ (Here, one of my team mate was dead, and I took it :))
7534
Then, your team mate is going to try to take it back to your flag room and score!
3) You die, and your team mates are too far to get it back :(
If you die, while your team mates are close enough, the enemy can take the flag back.. They just have to walk on it and their Flag will go back to their Flag Room and a message “[FLAG COLOR] has returned!”
7535
So be careful! :)
In another hand, your enemies are supposed to take your Flag if they want to win.. This is why, You’ll have to stop them :)!
Firstly target the flag carrier, then mages to avoid reviving, and then birds.. Avoid targeting str bear first.. In the order of targeting, it would be :
[B]Mage INT,dex/Bird dex,int/Bear dex,int/Mage str/ Bird str/ Bear str
So, when u killed the Flag carrier, just walk on your flag and it will be back to the Flag room :D
7536

3rd question : How can I become good to it?
Ah! That’s a very large question! Each players has his own way to play, this is why I’ll explaine mine, which works for birds only, and then I’ll explain the way that Mages and Bears can be serial killers according to me and my experience.. Indeed, after 21k deaths, you learn from others classes, and their skills which kill you lol..
I’ll be speaking mostly for LvL65-66!
For others LvLs, Tips, Gears, and combos are on my other thread!
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?52628-The-mega-GUIDE-PvP-Gears-Skills-tips-for-all-LvLs
Birds :
The tips I’m going to present to you are really general ones… If you want to become really good, you’ll need to find your OWN combos and way of playing! :)..
First of all, when you’re a bird dex (I’m speaking about full dex birds for now), don’t do as I do.. Don’t run like crazy into the 3 buffed opposite team players like a Kamikaze! It would be death for 99% if you don’t dodge all :).. If they are unbuffed while you are, and if they are 3ones close, use AOE skills (=all enemy close are damaged) such as Wall root, shatter blast. If you didn’t die before using those 3 skills, you’re sure to kill at least 1 :).
Secondly, avoid fighting vanity crafted lilith setted mages with mana shield on.. If your in front of one, u have 20% chance to win, if u dodge fire and drain :)! I advide u to blast (it brakes mana shields) and to run the time your blast goes back :)‼
Thirdly, vs bears, you better use your 2 rootsand use a fast killing combo (root, break, shatter,r blast, (start running) blind repulse). If they pull you, try to flee, you can use “mega repulse” combo (I named it like that :) ) which is Avianscream+repulse, it makes them “fly” lol :)
Avoid taking flag, or if you really want to do so, hide, let someone else in your team tank, and go out of your hide and cross everyone fast using all your arrows..
About Strong Dex birds, It depends the form of playing you use. If you use full str set, don’t hesitate to tank, indeed, with your 65+ dodge, you will dodge nearly all ^^.. root shatter blast should be enough to kill a poor dex bird.
If your strong dex bird using bow, I advice you this gear : crafted Longbow, Orlok helm/armor + vanity bonus. If you get that gear, you should be dodging ¾ skills and hiting 250 with good range.. Really hard to be killed :)!
Don’t hesitate to take flag when yout with sword set! Especially when you’re buffed! You will be hardly defeated!
Mages:
I never CTF with mages, however, I can tell you some tips about the easy way to kill others :)!
First of all, you should get 67 DEX point and rest INT. It brings you damage, a bit dodge and critical.
Then use crafted Lilith WAND set, and vanity bonuses if you have sure…
Secondly, use your mana shield when you’re at 15-14 meters of a bird dex, or of a dex bear. If there isn’t one of those close to you, use your mana shield only when you”re going to die!
Thirdly, (I didn’t want to say it cuz now I’m gonna die bad :() try to target low defense enemy! Indeed, a fire and another skill will be enough to kill the opponent! (Last time I got hit 559 lololol)
Fourthly, a few days ago I found something out.. I’m not sure it’s working tho.. This is why, this is truly an suggestion :).. I saw that some mages were clicking on drain targeting a guy who was at about 8m of them and that, just after, if they clicked on another enemy before their drain damage, it was the 2nd targeted enemy who was taking the damages O.O! This is why, they can kill players behind walls lol.. Idk if it is comprehensible.. tell me if you didn’t understand what I meant lol :)
Fivethly, try to use your drain for when you’re going to die :).. It may heal you 445 HP… lol
If you want to get the Flag, be sure you’re buffed and that you have mana shield available.. Indeed, having the Flag reduces your damage and your speed :) Your drain won’t save you as many HP points as before :banana:
Bears :
I’ve never owed a bear.. I can tell you the hardest bears skills I’ve met :)
First of all, when you’re a bear, always be close from a wall.. And when an enemy comes close to you, PULL him and destroy him on the wall with all your slashes lol!
Secondly, keep your pull when there are 2 opponents in range, it will permit you to get more chance to get a kill.. Especially when you’re a dex bear! Whenever you pull auto stomp, it instantly kill the other guy :)!
Thirdly, don’t hesitate to take the flag when your str sword set! A taunt+Evade can bring you to 80 dodge‼ Just stomp when enemies comes too close haha :D
