Hey, fellow light player here! Love this video, hopefully stops other lights from throwing the game lol. Been sword light for 250 hours and wanted to give some extra tips. (Tips good for ranged and melee lights like myself) 1) With gateway, if defending a cashout, throw your first gateway a little past the area where enemy teams are most likely to attack from. This way, if they start pushing, you can drop your second gateway and flank them from behind. It creates a whole lot of confusion for that enemy team as they try to fight you and your teammates from different angles. 2) Use vanishing bomb to cover your teammates too! A lot of people forget that VB is an area of effect use, and not just limited to yourself. This is good when your teammate gets low on health and your healer isn't close enough, or if you don't have a healer on your team. 3) Like Ronin said in the video, Light has very high DPS. You can take advantage of this by finishing off already damaged enemies. For example, if a medium at 250 health takes a few hits of damage and drops to 190hp, your chances of winning that 1v1 skyrockets because you're faster and do more DPS even though that medium has more health than you do (Light has 150 health). It's good to target low health enemies with any class you use but light also has the fastest movement speed so chasing will always lead in you catching up to them. Just make sure to watch out for traps like mines. 4) DON'T GO FOR UNNCESSCARY 1v1s/Fights. If you're defending, defend the cashout, don't run off and try to kill that light 70 meters away just because he shot a few bullets at you. Objective is the key to winning games, not kills. 5) Play like you can die to 2 quick melees (1 QM is 45 damage). If you lose 2 bars of health, back off and play careful. If you lose 4 bars then run and wait to reheal. You need to be alive to be helpful! 👍 FOR SWORD LIGHTS 1) Practice Lunge > Quick Melee, A LOT. Fighting other lights (especially those with a brain) as a sword light is very dangerous, since the DPS is obviously very high, you have the least health, and they have a ranged advantage. Lunge > QM is a two-shot combo that kills any light. Being able to land this combo each time will you win you light duels the most efficiently. See 7:20 for an example of this. 2) Never run sword with cloaking device or grappling hook. Always evasive dash :)

Sword light with 350 hours, lunge to quick melee can be really hard to pull off consistently so don't count on it but always try. When fighting other lights sword is always at a disadvantage so try to use cover and then super dash on them when they push assuming you alr got a lunge. Also with sword having a portal on the cashout can be just as useful as using it to flank as you can very often get two or even 3 kills at the same time

Great vid and tips, I like how you explained your thought process.

bro thank you for making quality content...I thought I was watching a big youtuber then I saw it's not even 1K subs. Keep going bro I enjoyed watching you

Fantastic video!! Even the smallest of tips has me playing better already, thank you!

When i play light, i wanna be as helpful and reliable as possible to my teammates. These tips are very helpful, but i also like to play a supportive/disruptive role. Whether thats taking the lead in reviving downed teammates, which with high mobility makes Light support pretty underrated tbh. Or the other side of playing full defense on a cashout when you're the last alive, being able to pick up quick stuns or kills, being able to escape in most cases.

Beautiful Light gameplay, and an eye opening video for people like me who only have awful experiences playing with or as Light. Definitely trying the class tomorrow again. 😊

Excellent clear cut advice. Solid Video bro 🙌🏽

These vids are great, keep it up

Great video and tips!

Thanks! I was thinking to go back to light as I was playing it in open beta and season 1 but I always got scared xD Now I got more confidence and example to follow (you)!!

This guide is good, tho for the niche dagger players out there there is a few major tweaks I'd make to this for them: -Play so you can rotate around enemies that your team8s are engaging, but don't hyperextend or be entirely out of support range (and don't get pinched off from your team8s either) -Try to first use utility to chip damage enemies then let your team8s engage to be able to go out and help take the picks -NEVER stray away from easy running distance for cashout, unless a team8 is already there and another is getting into trouble nearby as you can 90% of the time stop a cashout steal fast -If you are the last alive, don't go for risky plays, as even a 2 v 1 can get you picked easily -If you can, try to eliminate targets such as M or H first, as they'll be easier for you to get then other classes and weapons if you pull it off -Info is crucial to both kills and survival, don't go in blindly and get surprised, you'll rarely win -If you do guard opponents statues make sure support isn't too far away -Try to avoid chaos as much as you can, as you will most likely end up killed either on purpose or by accident, try working your way around big battles if you can

I play grapple hook Dagger, I get friend requests from strangers because I rescue and revive them like I'm Spiderman. Dagger makes you learn how to play with a team. Hook, Flash, Gateway, Misc (smoke, Vanish, Tracking dart, frag, ect)

yo the heavy on your team is my roommate! lmao that's amazing

Thank you so much I can now play as a light since I know what I’m doing

I play terminal attack mostly and I usually play recon. At the beginning I try to get to a good vantage point and ping people/ tracking dart them. Then I move in to flank the enemies using sonar when necessary to give teammates more info. I also run the bow (since it’s silent) and ping enemies while trying to get damage on them if I miss they generally won’t notice and if I hit then depending on their actions I keep damaging or I move out to get more info for my team. The biggest flaw is when I’m left as the last survivor. If it’s 1v1 or 1v2 I can generally get it but it takes a lot of time baiting people and maneuvering to get the right set up. So it’s hit and a lot of miss while I improve with the bow. (I would take the XP-54, but it gives away my position at a distance and causes me more trouble than helps and I really enjoy playing with the bow.) It’s a great strategy when I play with friends who can take advantage of my call outs and understand what I’m doing. But I’ve had several randoms get angry and send messages about “how I’m a light and my job is to kill things.” So the strat has some haters lol There is some good info here for improving my strat, I tend to stay in a place for a bit too long when I should be moving around more to get different vantage points and playing closer to the team, but I’m not getting consistent damage with the bow yet. Edit: I just wanted to add. Great video! It definitely gave some much needed pointers and even pointed out some flaws in my own play style even if I focus on terminal attack since it has been added over cash out.

Great tips aside, mad respect for the P5 music choice in the beginning.

Very good informative video. I thought something to improve the video would be going over your build/setup before the game, explaining why you chose a certain gun/gadget.

I’m a heavy main and this is what I would look out for when facing lights

Great video!

One problem is when your teammates decide not to play to win but to play to kill or they think, o, he’s light, we lose and not care. T-T

very informative vid easy sub

You forgot that light player where they insist on sniping but cant hit any shots and the enemy team has barricades barriers and domes and the f2p medium just flanked them, oh well. In a serious case I LOVE support lights they can be the dps that saves your skin and stealth revive you or pick off that last enemy

Ah so happy to see f2ps are still being shunned

I do most of those tips you gave us, but ever since the cloak was heavily nerfed, I prefer to use the grapple for higher mobility. It also makes easier to steal vaults. I like to set the 1st portal 50-60m away (I know 70m is max, but to avoid the risk of losing the 1st portal, I give myself a few meters of space) and then I heist the vault by sending the 2nd one right below it. Then I quickly take the portal, grab the box and grapple away, so the enemy team who was opening the vault will lose me even if they take the portal to chase me. To delay the chase I like to throw a gas nade at portal 1 so it explodes on portal 2 (vault)

Light: Intel & Info / Finish kills. Meduim: Support & Offence. Heavy: A walking punching bag with a shield. 😂

awesome video! only tip you missed for light is if you see a sledge heavy go threw a door and close it follow him! youll be safe trust me!

​@@ronin_fps to be fair cashout has a whole bunch of rng problems too, if you're set on defending your cashout you never know when a third (or a fourth) team appears to fight you until you can't handle the pressure anymore, the most reliable tactic rn is to camp and let others fight for your cashout and that's no fun at all for a fast paced game like this. Not to mention the matches where you just chill at your cashout with no enemies. I can definitely understand why they're reworking it for the ranked format

Game goes hard when ure in ASIA server 😢😢 Rip myself 😂 Goodvideo btw ❤ 🎉

As soon as I see a light put a gateway on a vault I know ima be happy ☺️

the intro too accurate

What if I run dagger with a similar loadout but can't chip while I'm cloak scouting?

My b bro 😂

Last night, I won 2 out of 3 tournaments as a medium with turret and 2 lights on my team, beating a good MHH team both times. I don't care if I have 2 lights on my team, even if I'm playing heavy. The issue isn't just on bad light players, it's people that can't be a strong solo player that need constant support or to be constantly supporting another teammate. It comes down to communication, and team fighting without needing to constantly have a buddy right next to you. If a light is a mile away fighting another team, that's on them, but if you're dying all the time and cursing a light on your team, that's on you. Unpopular opinion, I know.

for the most part i agree however every person has different ways of playing and sometimes you need that personal liking to be a good player instead of just playing the same otherwise people will all play in the same way and games would be boring good video though

Light player here. While it might seem like a cheap playstyle, I think that getting in a good position and sniping is actually very helpful to your team bc 1: area denial (other players won't try to cross your sightlines), 2: assists (getting one or two shots in a heavy can make the fight much quicker for teammates- I personally think kills aren't the most important thing), and 3: saving your teammate by either killing or damaging a chasing opponent enough that they back off (I'll admit it's pretty damn satisfying)

@ronin_fps

I think most people’s problem with this playstyle is an experience that revolves around the light player refusing to use anything but the sniper and then missing every shot with it, so definitely only a strat if you can aim

I think they don't know how to play L right , my friend is one of master L in game ( i think ) ,he alway can do 1vs 3 when i and another allies die , he know when he need back for help us ,when need to flanking , i watch another player play L but they can not do like that they just go flanking and die ,die and die and he can only say one sentence at a time : "where are you ?" . The only problem here is another player L need to play teammate better ,they need think before to do something ,they dont know play L they can learn from mistakes but don't blame like :" Im alway right". I see that case have in a every rank ,high rank have and low rank have. Thank you for read this ( If you see anything wrong with grammar, please forgive me , I'm quite bad at English :3)

Great video! I would say it’s common sense, but many Light players (or most others too, actually) lack it. That being said, I have one thing to comment on: it depends on a context, but usually it’s not worth to spend a respawn coin for 10K cash, especially if it’s the first round - it’s regarding 3:20 tip №6. Moreover, you had enough time to recapture the cashout if you team wiped immediately.

@ronin_fps

10 сағат бұрын

Yeah, it’s basic stuff to someone like me as I’ve been playing fps games at fairly high levels for many years now but not everybody has that experience or is self aware of their gameplay so I thought I’d break the thought process down for some people 🙂 But as for the coins, I had soloQ teammates with very few comms and 9 times out of 10 your randoms will coin in, so I will usually play around that. But if we wiped, there’s no guarantee that we could take it in time as I don’t have synergy with randoms and don’t know what kind of plays they will make. But yeah those are all valid points if you have a full premade team
