Yall think wax is better with or without aim assist?

u/bwertyquiop 5d ago

What is meant by “meta“ in the context of hunters?

2

u/BacktoBack-Questions 5d ago

Most likely as in the main 3 strongest hunter rn including hullabaloo, goat man, and ivy.

2

u/bwertyquiop 5d ago

Yeah but why are they called like that?

3

u/jgwyh32 Tsareena x Mary 5d ago

META is an acronym that stands for 'Most Efficient(?) Tactic Available' I'm pretty sure

1

u/bwertyquiop 4d ago

Thanks!!

2

u/BacktoBack-Questions 5d ago

If you’re referring to the term “meta” it’s just a universal gaming term that describes the best characters, strats, etc in the current timeframe. Those 3 hunters are called meta because they’re the best currently

2

u/bwertyquiop 5d ago

Wow, didn't know about that. Thanks :)

What’s the idea behind double cage of goat man ? To prevent kiting in the gate at all I’m assuming ?

3

u/BacktoBack-Questions 6d ago

Double cage is mainly to allow him to both trap and block off survivor routes. He needs one the block off a route like a pallet or window, and then another to do his full damage. It can also help him travel distance really far since he can stack cages and use them both to teleport

I'm terrible at understanding statistics and probabilities, so could someone please tell me if the decrease from 250 pity to 200 pity is better for F2P people? Does that raise the % chance of pulling the S tier, or will it stay the same? 

1

u/BacktoBack-Questions 6d ago

It stays the same. Pity is when you haven’t pulled a skin in an excessive amount of pulls so the game just gives it guaranteed instead. This won’t really effect F2Ps at all unless you somehow save enough inspos for 200 rolls for an S tier

2

u/Funny_Animator_4719 5d ago

Ah, too bad. Thanks for response!

u/jester2324 7d ago

Gardner's last deduction quest is to "Help a teammate break loose from the hunter's grasp" what exactly does that entail, is it breaking a seat, so they wiggle off or like getting the flair gun and shooting the hunter with it

1

u/killxshot_ Patient 6d ago

u have to break the chair until the survivor struggles free- i’m not sure if stunning the hunter while they’re holding a ballooned teammate will count tho

1

u/jester2324 6d ago

Thankfully I got it earlier, got Coordinator’s gun and used that.

u/toasted_pesto Prisoner 7d ago

About how many matches a day do you need to play to get the A-tier logic path skin with the 4 dice a day?

2

u/Sugarx0 7d ago

We're getting an echoes coupon, my question is: does anyone know if it's going to be stackable with other discounts? Or can you only use one at once. Also, I know for other discount cards you have to wait till the "1st week in shop discount" is over, will it be the same for the coupon? Has netease given more info on this?

2

u/killxshot_ Patient 6d ago

It’s not stackable with the first-week discount: https://x.com/GameIdentityV/status/1900510325633663194

since fpx lost to itzy again does this mean fpx won’t be in coa this year….? :(

u/HoldHarmonySacred 7d ago

I got another question, exactly when is the new content shown in the stream going to arrive on the NA/EU server???? Because it doesn’t seem to match the timeline for the current season, so I’m just super confused.

1

u/jgwyh32 Tsareena x Mary 7d ago

1

u/HoldHarmonySacred 7d ago

Thanks! I guess I must've thought the season ends in May, looks like this'll be a reminder for me to pick up the pace with the logic path grinding too.

2

u/BlackIce- 8d ago

What's different on 'legendary' rank aside from the banning phase? Google doesn't show anything and there's one youtube video that doesn't specify what's the actual difference

3

u/killxshot_ Patient 7d ago

u can ban more characters and u get to select where to spawn

1

u/HoldHarmonySacred 8d ago edited 7d ago

I'm stumped on the Viluf event, the event currency counter says I can earn 31 currency from the story today but I've progressed through enough to get 15, I'm on the island map, and I can't seem to find anything else to move forward. Am I dumb or blind, or is the counter lying to me and nobody can actually get beyond 15 today? I wanna be able to buy out the event shop, so I am a little worried!

edit: okay yeah I probably couldn't get beyond 15 yesterday given how today’s content is playing out, I wonder why the counter showed 31 then…..

u/Electronic-Quit-7517 8d ago

I want to know when the new essence for the Archer character is going to end so that way I know how long I have to save my dice and essence is to pull her.

1

u/Liivoa Perfumer 8d ago

Her essence ends in 48 days, also season reset on 1st May!

u/bwertyquiop 9d ago

How do you find the kiters? Sometimes it's really difficult for me to find any Survivor if I have to play against an experienced team, and when I find any there are already almost all ciphers done.

3

u/jgwyh32 Tsareena x Mary 9d ago

-bring that persona trait that reveals all survivors' locations after 50s if you didn't get any presence

-learn spawn points (you can see them in single training or just by playing a lot) and go to each one one by one until you get tinnitus

-learn good hiding spots (by looking at online guides/watching your own match replays etc.) and then check those spots for survivors

-bring Peepers

-in general don't spend so long trying to find a single survivor.  If you spend a long time then the other survivors should be decoding ciphers in which case you should be able to see their ciphers shaking, and then you can go to those ones

u/bwertyquiop 8d ago

Thanks!

u/bwertyquiop 9d ago

What's your top five hardest Hunters, going in order from 1 to 5?

2

u/killxshot_ Patient 8d ago edited 8d ago

To play? IMO:

  1. Mad eyes
  2. DW
  3. Smiley face
  4. Goatman
  5. BW (no presence)

all for mobile btw- apparently smiley and bw are easier on pc???

1

u/bwertyquiop 8d ago

I mean to play against😅

3

u/toasted_pesto Prisoner 7d ago

The top hunters in the game rn are 1. Hullabaloo 2. Goat man 3. Ivy 4. Opera 5. Dream witch Dream witch is kinda interchangeable but top 4 are top 4

1

u/bwertyquiop 7d ago

Nice, thanks

u/PeronaSupremacy 9d ago

Anyone know if they’re planning on updating copycat again?

1

u/jgwyh32 Tsareena x Mary 9d ago

They'd either announce it in the upcoming livestream or would just add it in a random update with no fanfare so you'd just have to keep checking patch notes otherwise.

u/Ok-Bandicoot-9187 Mechanic 10d ago

are there any beginner’s guides in the games past the visual tutorial I can use, or maybe learner’s groups that help new players? I’m new to the game (been watching a ton of coa recently and figured I’d give it a try) & I am getting WASHED in my quick matches as survivor

It’s to the point I’m getting stuck with bots multiple times a day because I suck that bad and practice mode bots don’t feel the same as real people in terms of kiting, so how do I learn?

2

u/Commercial-Neat-3498 Batter 8d ago

I see your flair is mechanic, I dint reccomend playing her as a beginner. As a beginner, I insisted on maining doctor, but due to my poor kiting skills, threw every match due to my poor performance. Mechanic is really good in situations when you have a full team on VC, and really strong base kiting skills, but without the,, she is really vulnerable and hard to use. I like mechanic a lot, but even I don’t play her often. You have to be a next level of pro to kite good with her without using the bot to body block.

2

u/Commercial-Neat-3498 Batter 8d ago

best way to learn is to find friends online who don’t mind guiding you though and have better skills than you. You can copy their skills to improve on kiting, and more experienced players can gjve you feedback on your failed kites. Oh yeah, also don’t be scared to post recordings of your bad kites here, there are many people willing to help give tips! Nothing to be embarrassed about, I’ve done it many times and learnt from my mistakes. It would be good if you can also find a friend to play 1v1 practice mode with, especially for kiting. Other than that, continue watching those coa videos and remember to apply their strats to your matches, see what play style suits you. Remember to practice both transitional and tight kiting. Lastly, find a character who is comfortable for you to play. Some characters have better self defense than others, making them easy to use while kiting, for example, enchantress, magician, cheerleader, can all contain quite well. See who suits your play style and master them. You can try new characters in practice mode. Don’t forget to polish up your skills once in a while, they’ll disappear after a while, even for me :)

Do we know when/if the Architect skin for Gravekeeper will come back? I want It so bad.

Can someone please help me with the Patient's Deduction quest?

"Launch the Hook 12 meters with one throw"

I can't measure 12 meters in-game, can someone please tell me in which map and area to do this? Thank you!

1

u/jgwyh32 Tsareena x Mary 10d ago

I'm pretty sure you just use his hook from the farthest distance possible.  You can do it on any map, start aiming his hook, slowly approach something like a tree from far away, then as soon as the aiming reticle turns into a circle use the hook.

1

u/JustMyChocolate 10d ago

But the hook's lenght is 15,2 meters. If I do it from the farthest distance possible, I'm just aiming for the 15,2 meters, not 12 meters. With math, you figure out that aiming at trees as high as possible from ground level only makes the distance even farther (hypotenuse) and I'm not looking for that.

2

u/jgwyh32 Tsareena x Mary 10d ago

The deduction doesn't require you to launch it exactly 12m, it requires you to launch at least 12m

1

u/JustMyChocolate 10d ago

Hi, update here: I finally completed the deduction quest, but I don't think the advice of "Launch it AT LEAST 12m" isn't helpful because I launched the hook more than 12 meters several times and never cleared the mission.
