The Sonic blacksmith guide

[Zsonic2]

Just posting a guide i was recentley working on, the blacksmith guide

to me rakion works just like kickboxing, wait for the first move, self defence, tactics, all around style.

this guide is only for situations like 1 on 1.

Plz dont flame its my 1st ever guide i written rofl!

The blacksmith is a class of power, but lacks speed....alot.. best class for melee in my case. ALSO!!!!!!! blacksmiths are the only classes that can MOVE and BLOCK at the same time! this will be effective!

bs (blacksmith) vs Bs: Same class battles, blacksmith are slow! slowest class! slowest attack! most delay! you wait for the first strike, when the enemy makes the first move. then strike, if you suck at grapple and you got that chance, just special attack them (right click hold) effective against laggers.

ALSO! i see several blacksmiths ranging! people straight away always think "they mustve been ranger first class..what a noob 0mfg" DONT! this is a good technique! blacksmiths can be like rangers! use your axe aswell if you aint winning, when they try to hit you and miss, throw youre axe at them, this does good damage! especially when facing ninjas! which will be mentioned below!

to defeat ranger bs. like someone else mentioned in a guide. ( im sorry, since rakion forum wipeout i 4got their name) dont run straight, slalom (run forwards and strafe left and right) when you get the chance, combo them, possibly like you would to a ranger.

TIP: this is a little tacic i use, if they block through the whole match, strike them with the following combo, left click (normal hit) then right click (power hit) this powerhit can go through blocks!

so grip if theyre like 100mg-, circle the opponent, even create patterns, confuse them so maybe you can strike first. continue this and you will slay blacksmith.

bs vs warrior: picture the warrior as blacksmith, use the guide to bs just weaker attacks, and faster, use the same as bs vs bs, but remember, warrior is faster! grip if none lagger, special if lagger and you will defeat :)

Also, use the left click and right click combo as i mentioned above

bs vs ninja: this might get frigging annoying lol: yet again, wait for the attack, ninjas have powerful grips, dont worry if they 4 click combo, its weak! newbies will probally strike you with a 4 click, advanced ninjas or quick learners...:p will grapple you, or special strike you.

ninjas are the class that take most damage, dont focus on grapple, special attack and normal strike, you will defeat.

if theyre a shuriken (ninja range wep) type of user, i wouldnt worry about blocking, its weak, when youre close enough, combo them, or ever use youre range weapon!

bs vs archer: i splitted this part into melee, and range, since rangers are pretty much meant to use range weapon.

FIGHTING RANGE UH......RANGER!

i always hated these types of situations.. rangers are...well you know what rangers are.. most rangers will use the classical, run away, turn around and fire arrow, it gets annoying i know! when theyre about to fire and youre near enough to jump at them, jump and hammer strike, lots of damage! use over and over, if theyre on a platform where you must jump to reach them, wait for them to fire at you, immidiantly jump to the platform and strike them (take the lava arena platforms for instance)

VSING...melee..RANGERS...it makes no sense but here it is!

EVERY SINGLE FRIGGING MELEE RANGER I SEE ALWAYS USES ARCHER INVINCIBLE ATTACK! (where they do air headspin) personally, i grip them when the delay comes (after the breakdances stops, THEN U SERVE DEM!)

grip if non lagger, special if lagger like ive been mentioning

if they arent stupid to headspin all the way, use the bs vs warrior guide or bs vs bs i told you lot about .

bs vs mage: to me is easiest battle, keep circling them until they fire ice spikes, in which you immidiantly run to them and grip them (or spec if lagger)

the mage balls (not theyre dicks, theyre range attack)

some mages often run to a wall, take theyre little rattle thingy out and continuaslly fire those purple or red balls underneath them to make a blast hitting the opponent, to defeat a smoothly made tactic like this...TAKE UR RANGE WEP OUT DUMMY! i always see idiots who always run to the and hope theyre fireball thingies blast off! take youre range weapon and fire at them!

ALSO! if they manage to get you into lava and keep on tornado shooting you where you try to get up, either trick them by moving forwards a bit then moving back, when delay comes, get on that platform and get away!
ALTERNATIVALLY...HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT!:take ur range wep and hit them, if they carry on tornado, carry on ranging them until they die, or if they dont and run away, get on the platform and kick theyre @£$



Well thats my guide, hope you all enjoyed, as i said, my first guide plz dun flame plz xD edit:...i want a pizza
Credits to all other guys who made guides :p, especially the iron giant guide, credits to all you people who rep me :p

very nice guide. one thing that i would add is that if the mage is good at all, he will aim the ice spikes to hit u. keep jumping every once in a while to keep him off balance
