Warning: This is a guide in making. I will include more information and might include pictures when I have the time.
Ok so, welcome to the ultimate Mechanic (4th job) PVP guide! Like most of you know, mechanics can troll a lot in PVP if you do it right. Here's how to maximize your points during the PVP matches, mostly in free for all.
1. Getting started
The first step in becoming a good PVPer, for all jobs, is the equips. Choose equipments who have a lot of attack and main stats (don't try to get potential stats unless you are going for 180+ PVP). Also, be sure that you can wear all of your equipments without needing the potential stats since they get negated in PVP (except 180+).
The first skills to get as a 4th job PVPer are extreme mech, missile tank and laser blast/maple warrior. You won't need amplifier since you're not really gonna stay in the same place, but you can always go for a normal build.
2. Basic strategies
- Stay on your tank all the time during PVP. Trying to use the normal prototype is pointless and will only make you fail.
- Use the normal attack on your tank most of the time and jump around while using it. Use laser blast every time the cooldown refresh. Try to hit as many ennemies as possible with it!
- Use siege mode when you're sure you're far from the other melee classes and that the ranged classes can't hit you. Be careful for fast moving characters (mages,thieves). In team battle, you can hide behind your comrades to do a maximum of damage!
- Pick every item you see except for the question mark boxes. Never go out of your way to pick anything except life potions. Since you can't climb ropes, try using rocket jump as a shortcut!
-If you have the feeling you're getting hit too much, jump away from the crowd and try to recover some life. Use the healing bot if needed (see advanced strategies).
-Never try to kill a warrior class except if his hp bar is really low.
3. Advanced strategies
If you think you mastered the basics, try out those!
- Try to evaluate your damage and the hp of your foes. After some minutes of playing with the same persons, you will know when you can go into siege mode and destroy someone before he kills you.
- Use your mech dash to move faster and behind your ennemies.
- If there is 2 layers of a platform, you are always better off on the bottom layer (on the top layer, you miss your foes most of the time if they're on the bottom one).
- Try to combo low hp foes to kill them. If they run, use laser blast to finish em off!
- Your healing bot is a precious allie. Set it up on the platform you will be during most of the match. Alternatively, put it far away from the other players and escape there to peacefully recover hp.
Thanks for reading this guide. I will update it regulary as I discover more tricks.
