I have been trying to figure out the best way to influence a Gambit game solo. It feels like far too often farming motes and defending against invaders is all for naught. I recently had a game where my team simply was so much slower than the enemy team. After we lost the first round, I decided the best way to get the game going in our favor was to stifle the progress of the enemy team, so that we could keep up. I found that that the following strategy worked very, very well. I just won three gambit matches in a row employing this strategy! Primary Goal - stay in control of the invade process and successfully invade the enemy team as often as possible. Even if your teammates are potatoes they have to finish eventually. Tips: -Don't camp the portal and hurt your team, just take constant note of the invasion points and plan accordingly. At 25 and 50 motes a portal will open for you. Keep an eye on your teammates so that you can be sure you end up near the portal when it opens. When your opponent summons a primeval, if you still haven't summoned yours, another portal will open. -Collect motes with a specific focus on pushing to the 25, 50, and 75 mark. Stuck at 24 motes? Run and kill one enemy and bank for portal so you can invade. -Time your invade on the enemy primeval fight wisely. If you invade immediately when the enemy summons their primeval, you will kill them before they have even done damage to the primeval. Try to let them get wrapped up in the fight first so you can catch them off guard. If you're gonna lose your invade to a potato teammate then yes, just jump on through, but try to delay it a little if you can. -Use your best ranged weapon! This is very important. I play gambit with a purely PvP loadout for this reason. Redrix's Broadsword owners, this gun really shines in gambit. Get a decent roll with Ricochet Rounds and range masterwork and you can pick people off from across the map. Any pulse rifle with this roll will work, but with Broadsword I find you can get Army of One again and again if you select your first target wisely. Bygones is another solid pick if you don't have Broadsword. For secondary slot, run something that you can defeat multiple close-range combatants with. Luna's Howl or optionally Trust would be my pick, but just something that isn't going to leave you high and dry after a single kill. -Try to save your Super for invades. It can be tempting to blast baddies for motes, but it will go a much longer way being used to get yourself out of a pickle during an invade. -Pay attention to your allies during your Primeval fight. If they don't seem to know what to do, this is when you may need to decide to ditch your focus on invading. Make sure Envoys are being killed first, and the Primeval is being burned down at a good clip. If you notice the Primeval fight is just not moving then quickly pick off the Envoys and DPS the Primeval hard while you wait for a portal. You need to make a quick judgement call when it comes to invading while you are both fighting the Primevals. If its close, focusing on max DPS to your own primeval might very well be more efficient. Blow your supers on the primeval before invading if you choose to invade, its hard to be effective with many supers when the enemy team is taking shots from base. Hope this helps someone out there! it certainly helped me feel a lot less frustrated by solo queue Gambit matches. Now I actually feel like I can carry a win, and if I fail, then I can take ownership of the loss and not feel like I want to reach through my screen and choke my fellow guardians when they go back into the fray at 14 motes and die to a Knight.
