Tips & Tricks

Tricks and strategies are some of the fastest ways to win a Doomspire game. If you're reading this and want to know some, then you've found the right place.

Playing Normally
This is how most players complete games. It's fairly easy and barely has any flaws in it other than speed.

Tower Toppling
The normal way to finish a game is to walk to an enemy spire, put a bomb on the connection between the enemy spire and their bridge, and go in the inside of their spire. Then, you walk to the bottom of the tower, blow up all 4 sides of the base of the said tower, and kaboom! Enemy team, gone.

The flaws with this strategy is mostly that it's painfully slow, and another reason is that you're very vulnerable to attacks such as rockets and people with swords. If there's someone on the enemy team that has more than 100 kills, it's likely that this strategy won't work because people with 100+ kills mostly have a good strategy. Also, if you do finish this strategy successfully, there's a 99% chance you'll probably die as the tower will crush you and push you off the edge into the void.

Spawn Destroying
If you want to complete the game a bit slower and easier, this norm strategy is for you.

First, you go to an enemy spire, use rockets and bombs to destroy all of the spawns, and without any destruction (other than killing spawns) you might be able to knock out an enemy spire without destroying the entire thing. This strategy is one of the most flawed ones and will most likely get you killed, even if you successfully complete it.

You'll probably get hit by rockets along the way, and inside the spire trying to destroy the spawns is impossible unless you destroy a wall.

Bomb Tricks
If you want a little more speed and strategy in your playstyle, try using the Bowling Bomb, as it has multiple tricks to win the game faster.

Bomb Flying
If you place a bomb, jump in front of it, and jump right when it detonates, you should be able to go a launch yourself a far distance from where you once stood. If you aim in a good direction, namely the enemy spire. Be careful when aiming and make sure there is something that can stop your flight to prevent you from overshooting.

If you bomb fly to said spire, you can quickly get there, and using this, you can win games much faster than you originally could without the bomb fly.

If you go closer to the bomb and jump, you will go higher but lose speed in return. If you go farther from the bomb and jump, you will go much farther but lose height in return.

Bomb Jumping
If you jump and place a bomb at the EXACT same time, you can launch up in the air, and go down. This can be used in situations where a bomb fly wouldn't work, and can also be used for Market Gardening, similar to TF2 (Team Fortress Two).

Bomb Bowling
If you place a bomb and knock it forward using the SuperBall, you can fling the bomb forward like a bowling ball, eventually detonating on its target.

Market Gardening
If you Bomb Jump, Bomb Fly, or Rocket Jump and equip a sword after, you can launch in the air, landing on your target and slice them into sushi.

Rocket Launcher Tricks
Just because newbies use this thing doesn't mean it's not useful. This handy tool can win games! Let's check out the tricks.

Rocket Jumping
Just like in TF2, you can aim the rocket at your feet and launch yourself in the air, about the same length as the Bomb Jump. You can also use this for Market Gardening. This technique is also faster than bomb jumping, since when you bomb jump, you have to wait for the bomb to explode, but when you rocket jump, it happens instantaneously.

Sniping
If you launch yourself in the air using a Bomb Fly or Bomb Jump and you can't use your sword, you can predict where your enemy is going and blast them to bits!

You can also launch rockets at the base of a tower, but it's painfully slow and only recommended as a late-strategy when most of the towers have taken significant damage, Under normal circumstances, it does work, however you’ll likely die if you stay stationary or are unaware of nearby enemies.

Slingshot Tricks
Just because it deals low damage and it barely works in combat, that doesn't mean it's bad! Let's overview the tricks!

Slingshot Flying
If you bomb jump, or bomb fly into the air and aim at your feet, you can equip the slingshot mid-air, look at your feet, and hold click or click every 0.5 seconds. This can allow you to fly, and can be used in Market Gardening or Wall Saving.

Ball Combo
If you throw a SuperBall at an enemy, and drain the rest of their health with the slingshot, you can get easy kills.

Trowel Tricks
While generally seen as one of the most useless items in the game, it can save a life or prolong a team’s ability to stay in the fight! Let's review the tricks:

Wall Save
If you're falling into the void, use a sword lunge and place a wall directly beneath you on the void wall. There's an invisible barrier at the bottom of the world that players can fall through, but trowel's can't fall through that barrier. If you do this, you'll be able to save yourself.

Rocket Block
If you time it right, you can place a wall right in front of a rocket, and, well block it. This is a pretty petty move, seeing as you can just dodge it.

Extra Jump
If you’re in the middle of a fight, you can place a wall near your feet so you can gain extra mobility, extra air time seriously helps sometimes.

Escaping Destruction
If your team’s Doomspire is heavily damaged and players generally spawn below the top floor, this can be difficult to escape as most or all of the ladders or stairs have likely been destroyed. One or more players use walls and stack them on top of each other, allowing a team to escape and get back into the fight.

Sword Tricks
The main weapon and the second most useful. Let's overview it.

Swinging
If you equip shift lock and spin around, you'll be able to instantly kill an enemy. This is very useful when dealing with tryhards or noobs, and it can be used for massacring large groups of noobs. You'll be able to go on a killing spree just by swinging, lunging, and sniping with rockets.

Sword Jumping (Lunging)
If you double click, you can lunge, and glide in the air for about a second. If you double click and jump at the same time, you'll be able to get to high places you wouldn't ordinarily get with normally jumping. This can be used to save yourself if you Bomb Fly too far.

SuperBall Tricks
A slow reload but a high damage capacity. Let's see what it's good for!

Sniping
The SuperBall has an aim option which you can turn on or off. Due to the high damage capacity, you can snipe someone in 2 hits, or 1 hit if you're lucky, however this heavily depends on range.

Ball Combo
If you throw a SuperBall at an enemy, and drain the rest of their health with the slingshot or the paintball gun, you can get easy kills.

Paintball Gun
A fast reloading administrator of paint, but the T is silent, Fires little blobs of paint or “paintballs” that are team-colored and can repaint blocks as well as painfully repaint players. It fills a wide variety of roles when used correctly.

Sniping
The paintball gun has a decently long range and accuracy and as such makes it better at sniping than say the Superball or Rocket Launcher, both which have a chance to deal high damage while having painfully slow reloads. As such, the paintball gun can quickly pepper a target and kill them at a distance.

Target Marking
The paintball gun can repaint bricks, even if they aren’t team colored. As such, you can use this to mark out parts of a Doomspire for people to aim at with rocket launchers.
