And, the point is in.

(Still in construction, if have any idea or suggestion, kindly suggest. )
(Oh yeah, hope ***** can sticky this because this may be useful to newbie thanks!)

1. How to shoot
- Power

Many players with a "****" title is actually don't know how to shoot and leave this game with full of sadness being scolded "****". Now, let me teach you how to shoot. (Pro just skip this section, this is boring)



See that hammer? Yes. Now, you will need to hold at it, not just clicking on it. How? Press left click and hold to power that you desired. What's hold? Hold means your finger keep on pressing the left click, until the power bar is increasing, until it reach your desired power, let's say 50, and.....bomb! It shoot far! Yes you success!!!!!!

- Angle

I have saw some player that don't know how to adjust angle. They adjust by walking, but it's dangerous. Well angle can be adjust by pressing the up and down on your keyboard. What's up and down means? It's just beside of your right "Ctrl" button. Yes, it is there. You can adjust angle by there. By mouse is quicker, but if you don't know how, keep using this tecnic, but be fast.

- Logic think of shooting

Not meaning you all not logic, but keep missing is annoying right? Now if you already can control your angle and power, good. Like if at cake land, your enemy is just near with you, you use something like strawberry and power 30~50 if angle isn't too low.
But, there's another problem. if the enemy is too near, you will get self damage, and even get a title "****" for it. (If teammate is rude) Well you can either choice to go further from enemy, or using smaller radius weapon like dumpling, prawn. Here I describe a little bit for prawn. Prawn's radius is just 5, and just little bigger than our note. It rarely brings you self damage, and it's really good for long distance. It will be continued later.

For far distance like two donuts in Breadenia, you can use Kopi O and power 70.......bom! It's it! Some players will ask why can't just use strawberry? Ok it brings another issue, weight. Weight will brings you different furthest shooting area. So before you use dumpling for the additional 5 damage (strawberry 120), try bigger power than you use strawberry.
Let's say you was using power 34 with strawberry and the enemy was not near. When you use dumpling, be notice that dumpling weighs 50. So use power like 40~46 in this situation. I don't mean to specific this power only, it varies for different situation.

2. Shoot well
- By adjusting angle, constant power (70)

Yes now you know how to shoot, and now it's the time to improve your skills. Let's say you are on the flat ground in cake land, DON'T often use angle 0 and power 70. Earth has gravity. Maybe you just adjust angle higher abit, prefer 4~10, power 70 and you get it.

"So how if the enemy gets far?" Easy enough to say, enemy gets far, higher angle. Gets nearer, lower the angle too.

And oh yes, if your dish doesn't get your enemy, higher your angle too. For no wind mode, 32 is the furthest angle. You have no need to adjust higher than that if still doesn't reach(if you and your enemy were almost at a same height).
Issue about wind, if the wind is blowing to your enemy or blowing up, you can lower your angle a little bit, like lower 1~3. If it is blowing to you or blowing down, higher angle too.

Conclusion:
-Higher angle when enemy gets further, wind was blowing down or towards yourself, or dish doesn't reach enemy.
-Lower angle when enemy gets nearer, wing was blowing up or towards enemy, or dish went over enemy.

- By adjusting power, constant angle
This is mostly for high angle and reverse shoot. Easy words, if enemy is near, don't use too much power. If enemy is far, use higher power or even 70. This was actually depends on your power controling. If you can +2 or -2 as you want and nearly no failure, well you are already consider as "pro". >.<

For high angles, +2 power will bring your dish 0.5~0.8cm further. Don't ask durian for this. Durian will just fall quickly and power +2 or -2 is just a very small different.
For reverse shoots, if enemy is VERY VERY near with you, just direct shoot. This will be explained later.

3. Long distance shoot

For this, you MUST use power 70, dishes weight must not over 30. Dishes like strawberry will have a hard time to reach enemy's foot even the wind is towards enemy.

As I said, different weight, different furthest range. So don't use the angle of Kopi O for Glazed Donut. My experience is, weight 30 is actually having hard time when the wind is towards myself. So you will need to have a Dough Fritters or Kopi O with you.

For distance like between two donuts at Breadenia, weighted 30 dishes may can use 26~32 (without wind's affect). For 25, angle 21~27, weight 20, angle 15~21. For 22 (Croissant) and 5 (Prawn), I did not use them before.

When the wind was blowing towards you, use weighted 30 dishes will have a hard time too. Prepare Dough Fritters or Croissant or Kopi for those situation. If the wind was blowing up strongly (40~50), you can try to use weight 40 dishes, but still very hard.

Yes, power. You can try the power slot if you were upset with your power because it can't get higher than that. Some people were shooting weighted 50 Chicken Rice with power 100 and he/she did a Long Distance. Well I don't as rich as them =.="

4. Reverse shoot
Reverse shoot is the easiest job in Buffet Wars. You just shoot your enemy on right with your face facing left, and extra 50 point is given. Something like hole made by either your team or enemy will help you to reverse too.

Don't know how to reverse? It's really easy. First, place your cute wawa in a spot that can both shoot front and behind. I prefer something shaped "V" in Breadenia or Lollypop as reverse point. Then, if your enemy is at left, face to right; enemy at right, face to left. Of course, this also needs power controling skill. Too much power will be replied by the bots "Shooting birds?"

- Place to care

Power. When you trying to reverse, do not use too less power like below 20. I set my safety point at 30, and I rarely use lower power than that when reversing.

Yes, another, wind. If it was very near, ignore the wind blowing up or down or upside down. For a moderate distance, you should control your power, same as what I said before this. It depends on the wind, but mostly depends on players' skill.

- Spot of reversing?

For Breadenia and Lollypop, there're many reverse spot. But for cake, I rarely reverse because it's nearly flat.

Breadenia
- Left side strawberry donut
- When enemy was standing on the bun, you can adjust your angle directly to enemy and shoot.

- Right side Mint donut
- When enemy stand upside the bun or middle, easy reverse shoot.

- "V" shaped at left side buns, middle and right side bun
- Well just control your power well here.

- Middle of map
- This is just for situation if you standing on that stuff at middle. Go to left side if enemy at left, right if enemy at right. If you were going to left, you won't be able to go back right side.

Lollypop
- Double lollypop at both left and right side
- These were the best spot for reversing.

- "V" shaped spot at middle
- Care for these two. You might hit yourself if the angle was too low.
*EDIT: Avoid yourself from using this spot except you were in 1v4 situation and need to hide

- ANYWHERE (If you know to high shoot perfectly.)



*UPDATE* Underwater
- Middle of the entire map
- Kraken? Oh no, I failed in that =( By the way, if your movement point (means your moving range affected by your equipments) is big enough you can consider that.

- Both of the two shells
- Just if you know to high shoot, they both is more than enough for you.

*UPDATE* Iceland
- Both left and right "V"-liked spot
- Nothing much about this match if you want to reverse shoot, just if you were doing Long Distance Quest......

*UPDATE* Burger Tower
- When your target is above you / standing on the hamburger above you
- LOL, no one will select this as their reverse shoot map. And it is annoying enough if you had a lower level partner and can't reach his enemy after 10 shoots.....

5. High shoot

Many players won't get master of this, if they do not know to master on the factors. The factors are angle, power and wind.

First, angle. When you are going for high angle, use angle like 80~100, and the nearer the enemy was, the smaller the angle you could get high angle bonus and bigger power you need to get the bonus. Don't understand right?

In my experience, when I was going for a high shoot, I found that same when i using same angle, and both power 48 and 50 can hit a target. But, 50 will get a high angle bonus, but 48 will just get a normal bonus. This shows high shoot bonus can be gone even with a difference of 2 power. So go for bigger power, but of course not too strong.

The dish that you could use for high shoot should be weight 40 and radius should be at least same with strawberry. (If you want easy high shoot) Others like weight 30 is still ok, but for croissant, kopi and prawn is really hard for high shoot. They are actually just for long distance, but if you still want to use for high shoot, I strongly discourage players to use prawn. Prawn just weight 10,(or 5??) it needs really crazy skill to high shoot. Only crazy people can do it. (Sry to those pro ho =.=")

Everytime when you high shoot, check your distance from your enemy. If it's near, it's easy. Use angle like 90~95 to high shoot him IF THE WIND ISNT TOO BIG. And remember, not everytime you must use power 70, because it's risky. Maybe power of 40~60 is enough.

If the bot is hugging with you, use angle 92 or 91 to high shoot, power 50~60. Remember, these are just theory. You should train yourself to become an expert to high shoot your enemy to get even higher exp and gold than now.

6. Be pro in High Shoot

So if you had mastered the basic high shoot tecnique, here you will become the best of high shoot. Some addition info might be provided for enplaining something.

-a.) Reverse high shoot

If you can high shoot easily, you should try for reverse high too. Most map provide many reverse-high shoot spot. For cake map, you can even reverse-high anywhere. For your information, if enemy makes hole on the ground, its called "double reverse spot". You have no reason to direct shoot on there, because it's too hard.

I give an example: Cake Land
Most of the map can reverse-high shoot, but most of the angle limit is 97 to 100. You should take the following steps if you are not even reaching the enemy's foot.

i.) Higher your angle if possible
ii.) Increase your power, don't shy to make power 70 if it was really needed
iii.) Walk to your enemy, and use the same angle and power
iv.) Use lighter dish, but not prawn!
v.) Wait for the wind over
vi.) Just direct shoot if you were getting mad. (This is always effective!)

For a hole spot, you should beware if it was made by bots. Sometimes even it is made on a flat ground, you can't get back to the floor if you went into the hole. If you don't want to be stucked, just keep your current position. The Admin may still working for this, but it's just an information to you all.

EDIT: The "hole" issue is now solved. Thanks for vww hardworking!

7.)Dishes that is suitable for what shoot

Long Distance shoot:
Here I've to explain abit, the * before the dish name means you can use it for long distance shoot too if you have power slot 80, for 90 and 100 I have no experience of that. ( ^ stands for updated dish)

Prawn
Chicken Wing
^Peach
^Grape Danish
Kopi O (But no bonus)
Kopi
Kopi C
Tomato
^Pumpkin Lollypop
Croissant
Satay
^Baby Abalone
*Glaze Donut
*Choco Donut
*Mint Donut
*Bak Kwa
*Waffle
*^Kraken Tentacle
*Roti Prata
*Strawberry
*Pineapple
*Currypuff
*Soy Cheong Fun
*Coconut (Kinda hard >.<)

Reverse shoot:
For this, all dish are suitable. But do remind that if your angle is not straight to the enemy (EDIT:Or the wind is blowing up strongly), don't use Prawn or Chicken Wing. For those heavy dishes, you will need a bigger power to avoid hitting yourself.

High shoot:
All weight 30 dishes
Char Siew Bao
Strawberry
Pineapple
Soy Cheong Fun
Coconut
Dumpling
Chicken Rice
Bak Kut Teh
Choco Twist
^Kraken (LOL)

For high shoot I don't suggest players to use something lighter than 30 like Satay, Croissant and etc because they are too light and hard to handle, sometimes do fly to outer space too. My personal record is to use Croissant to high shoot =.=" Try to high shoot with Prawn? 0.o

8.) Function of each map and to master them

-Breadenia:
It can be used for high shoots and reverse shoot. About the bread at the center, if you were spawned on it, congratulations. You can shoot both sides' bots (reverse high shoot). High shoots, just if you and your target are at the same side, so don't forget your Tornado Potato. Sometimes if you were spawned on the donuts, you can go for long distance too.

-Lollypops:
Reverse shoot? Just if you are in the center, and can go to the double lollypops spot. High shoot? Lemme think, you will have 75/25 rate to have a reverse high shoot. If you were used to play reverse high, direct high shoot is a little bit uncomfortable for you, at least it was for me. Long distance is too hard for this map.

-Cake Land:
Before the introduction of Iceland, this is used for Long Distance Shoot. By the way, cake land now is still can be used for reverse high shoot.

-Iceland:
As clearly stated just now, Iceland is for Long Distance Shoot. Reverse shoot is also suitable because you will have 2 best spots, which are the both left and right, 2nd floor spots. But after the middle island is added, many players complained about it and even open for a poll for removal of that island (at least it happens on forum).

-Underwater:
Wow, I can almost say nothing to this map........this map is too average, reverse high? Too easy if the wind is against you. Long distance? The 2 huge shells are the best armor. Reverse? OMG Who can even show me that?! No........don't play normal game in it!!!!!

-Burger Tower:
High shoot/Reverse high shoot is suitable with that. If you have no idea to do high shoots, you can dig a big tunnel under the burgers. Long distance? Huh wow.

Any map I still missed out? Too long didn't visit Buffet Wars and will be not going back anymore.

[Nitesky]
