All great advice - it us so stupid that people keep going for 10+ stacks and dying.... bank this fecking motes when the opposing team can hit over 25, and then invade!!!

I wish people actually followed this. Gambit is nothing but a zoo full of dumb apes

I hope more people read this. There is nothing worse than a clueless blueberry. Especially since 90% of the gambit matches I’ve solo queued in so far this season have been against 4 stacks.

I agree, but as a solo getting stuck against 4 stacks all the strategy in the world hasn't helped. It literally took 9 games to get 12 points for the weekly.

also thanks for the wall of text XD

Another fine point of advice, res your teammates as long as it won’t get you killed in the process! Keeping your team on the field and productive helps get wins. Nothing is more frustrating than watching a teammate run around a downed orb collecting motes. You can 9 times out of 10 get the res and still grab the orbs, or heck, let them have them and run off for more kills.

Bank and you'll summon a Primeval my teammates never listen when he says that and the other team already summoned their primeval and are already killing it while my team stands around being stupid XD

Ah you forget people doing bounties and quest are there just for that !

[quote]Here are some rules that EVERYONE needs to know if they want to get into a Gambit match and NOT have the rest of your team throw their gaming platform thingy out the nearest window. [b]Rule 1:[/b] [i](the most important one)[/i] I do not care, how good, how amazing, how spectacular, how confident, how incredibly breathtaking you think you are at Gambit. When you hear the Drifter scream "Bank and you'll summon a Primeval." or one of the other 50 phrases he says, that means... [b]STOP:[/b] [i]I do NOT care what the heck your doing, the second the Drifter says you can summon a primeval, that means you run as fast as you can to the bank, and drop in your motes, I don't care if you are one hit away from killing that random yellow-bar servitor, I don't care if you have your super charged and there is a big group of enemies just BEGGING to be killed, you STOP and you bank your f***ing motes. You bank your motes, you summon your Primeval, you win (usually)[/i] [b]Rule 2:[/b] Stop always going for a large blocker! there are so many times when sending over 4 small blockers can be WAY more effective then sending over one large blocker that gets melted in 4 seconds if the other team is smart enough to focus their fire on it. Especially because the small blockers can push your enemies off ledges, getting rid of any motes they had. Sure a large blocker could also kill some people, (not really) but nine times out of ten, a few small blockers can be way more effective than one large blocker. [b]Rule 3:[/b] STOP INVADING RANDOMLY! I don't care if you think it's your turn to invade in Gambit, stop just randomly invading when you have nothing, only to die, lose all 15 of your motes (another mistake; invading with motes) and then scream in the mic how the other team is hacking. ONLY invade when you have a: Your Super OR b: Power ammo Now it's not like if you don't have these when you invade you're automatically not going to get any kills, but it would most certainly help to have them when you invade. [b]Rule 4:[/b] Kill the wizards first! This one not many people may know about, but if you kill the wizards that spawn near the primeval when it spawns in you will be able to deal more damage to the Primeval, so it is always a good idea to quickly clear out those wizards before engaging the primeval. [b]Rule 5:[/b] Do not invade the moment the enemy gets their primeval. Trust me, this does absolutely nothing, save that invasion portal for when they have started to deal a bit of damage to their primeval to reset their progress (and remember rule 3 before invading) if you invade right as they spawn their primeval, sure you may kill them and set them back a tiny bit, but you would be doing so much more if you just wait until their primeval has taken a bit of damage before invading. [b]Rule 6:[/b] If you have zero motes, and there is an invader, well congratulations buddy, chum, pal, friend, amigo, (insert other friendly words here) you have just earned the title of invader finder/killer. If you have zero motes, stop cowering in a corner, and go hunt down the invader, kill him before he can kill you. Besides, it's not like hiding will actually do anything as the invader can see where you are through walls. [b]Rule 7:[/b] Always try to focus down blockers. Oh hey! would you look at that! There's a big ol' taken knight standing right beside your bank and he's really upset so he's not gonna let you bank your motes, so what's the logical thing to do? Kill him! or her, I don't know, do Taken have genders? Anyway, legit though, focus down the blockers, because guess what, all those motes your collecting really don't mean anything if there's still a blocker in your path, preventing you from banking any motes. Anyway, this has gone on long enough, those are some (yea, there's more) of the basic rules you should know before heading into your next gambit match. [i]And BTW don't think I'm telling you that you HAVE to follow these rules to the word and only focus on winning and not on having fun. NO that is not what I am saying, I am just trying to help you with some tips on how to be better at Gambit, and trust me, the better you are at something, the more fun it is (usually). By all means, have fun! It's a video game, after all, it's supposed to be played for fun! However, I can guarantee you that your team will be very thankful if you know these basic rules. [/i] [u]Now, eyes up guardian, go have some fun. :)[/u] EDIT: To all the people who think this was just copied and pasted. (Particularly one individual, who's name I shall not say) this was NOT copied from some random website or something. Do I claim that these pieces of advice are mine and mine only? NO these are pieces of advice that I found from videos, playing the game, and watching others play the game.

👏👏👏👏

You mad

Addition to rule 5: my team waits for the invade as soon as we spawn our prime evil. By delaying the invasion you’ll throw us of guard a bit. Our tactic: 1. Summon prime evil 2. Wait for invasion and kill invader 3. Kill wizards 4. Kill prime evil

Don’t stay back, kill ads and leave motes there to fade out. Not much point killing all the ads if nobody is gonna be able to get the motes.

I swear it’s like everyone else is trying to do that 15 motes at once challenge and they expect you to do it with them
