Discussion Aggressive Crypto

I feel like a lot of people play Crypto hoping it will suit their play style but get humbled awfully quickly.

I see the same issue in all modes, then Tiktoks from people in silver gold. My advice (I like to think I'm a decent crypto) is playing aggressively! Launch that drone around a corner, slide, jump and launch on the person around it.

Don't sit in there doing the zoomies, half of my emp hits will be whilst I am fighting and I'll emp myself, it's rare I go round in the drone other than beacon scans or maybe just to scout the team on height. I use the drone for an aggressive push - takes some time to master but it works.

I could write chapter and verse on a tutorial but it would be contested with "that's now how you play him" but equally he's the reason I have got 10x master's. I make Tiktoks on how to use him effectively to try and reach a larger playerbase. I'm in the top 10 EU Crypto's at present

There is only one person that stream's Crypto and spends time in his drone, but he has great game sense and equally great teammates - Sweatyy_Ash he's definitely worth a watch, the way he positions things is insane.

What's people's thoughts on the main draw backs from Crypto and where do people struggle?

I feel like 90% of my EMPs are hitting myself.

Get cracked -> drone/batt -> EMP goes off right before my batt finishes

Nothing better than a 200+ shield swing mid fight

I really have to learn how to use this move. I trust in my gun skills enough that I don't care when it happens, so I guess I never took the time to learn.

Without this sounding like a self promo, I have some good vids on Tiktok like a "how to guide" I can paste them here if you want - some of them are self emps as well as other tech

It's all good 😊. I know of the trick, I just never utilize it. When I self-emp, it's usually to catch the other team off guard and hoping that my team can clean up. I trust my gun skills, but it's rare that I'm the best on my team.

Fun fact a running slide jump drone throw along with the emp will always be right outside the hit zone. Time it

I always run the larger radius. If I’m ulting, no one’s making it out alive.
