Hey, fellow light player here! Love this video, hopefully stops other lights from throwing the game lol. Been sword light for 250 hours and wanted to give some extra tips. (Tips good for ranged and melee lights like myself) 1) With gateway, if defending a cashout, throw your first gateway a little past the area where enemy teams are most likely to attack from. This way, if they start pushing, you can drop your second gateway and flank them from behind. It creates a whole lot of confusion for that enemy team as they try to fight you and your teammates from different angles. 2) Use vanishing bomb to cover your teammates too! A lot of people forget that VB is an area of effect use, and not just limited to yourself. This is good when your teammate gets low on health and your healer isn't close enough, or if you don't have a healer on your team. 3) Like Ronin said in the video, Light has very high DPS. You can take advantage of this by finishing off already damaged enemies. For example, if a medium at 250 health takes a few hits of damage and drops to 190hp, your chances of winning that 1v1 skyrockets because you're faster and do more DPS even though that medium has more health than you do (Light has 150 health). It's good to target low health enemies with any class you use but light also has the fastest movement speed so chasing will always lead in you catching up to them. Just make sure to watch out for traps like mines. 4) DON'T GO FOR UNNCESSCARY 1v1s/Fights. If you're defending, defend the cashout, don't run off and try to kill that light 70 meters away just because he shot a few bullets at you. Objective is the key to winning games, not kills. 5) Play like you can die to 2 quick melees (1 QM is 45 damage). If you lose 2 bars of health, back off and play careful. If you lose 4 bars then run and wait to reheal. You need to be alive to be helpful! 👍 FOR SWORD LIGHTS 1) Practice Lunge > Quick Melee, A LOT. Fighting other lights (especially those with a brain) as a sword light is very dangerous, since the DPS is obviously very high, you have the least health, and they have a ranged advantage. Lunge > QM is a two-shot combo that kills any light. Being able to land this combo each time will you win you light duels the most efficiently. See 7:20 for an example of this. 2) Never run sword with cloaking device or grappling hook. Always evasive dash :)

Yo. Im your random heavy you showed off in the video. My roommate showed me this video. It was fun playing with yall

the only useful light is the one that plays around heavies and medium

for a guy who only has 600 subs, your videos are really made well and the commentary and everything else is just so good, that alone should get you way more, amazing video

Beautiful Light gameplay, and an eye opening video for people like me who only have awful experiences playing with or as Light. Definitely trying the class tomorrow again. 😊

Fantastic video!! Even the smallest of tips has me playing better already, thank you!

Excellent clear cut advice. Solid Video bro 🙌🏽

Great vid and tips, I like how you explained your thought process.

"play around your heavy and medium teamates" mate, if I could FIND SOME. Everyone just plays light. I'll hop into a power shift lobby, and land myself in a team of 4 lights. Pass.

bro thank you for making quality content...I thought I was watching a big youtuber then I saw it's not even 1K subs. Keep going bro I enjoyed watching you

These vids are great, keep it up

Great video and tips!

This is a really great guide. This is how one should play light.

This guide is good, tho for the niche dagger players out there there is a few major tweaks I'd make to this for them: -Play so you can rotate around enemies that your team8s are engaging, but don't hyperextend or be entirely out of support range (and don't get pinched off from your team8s either) -Try to first use utility to chip damage enemies then let your team8s engage to be able to go out and help take the picks -NEVER stray away from easy running distance for cashout, unless a team8 is already there and another is getting into trouble nearby as you can 90% of the time stop a cashout steal fast -If you are the last alive, don't go for risky plays, as even a 2 v 1 can get you picked easily -If you can, try to eliminate targets such as M or H first, as they'll be easier for you to get then other classes and weapons if you pull it off -Info is crucial to both kills and survival, don't go in blindly and get surprised, you'll rarely win -If you do guard opponents statues make sure support isn't too far away -Try to avoid chaos as much as you can, as you will most likely end up killed either on purpose or by accident, try working your way around big battles if you can

Thanks! I was thinking to go back to light as I was playing it in open beta and season 1 but I always got scared xD Now I got more confidence and example to follow (you)!!

When i play light, i wanna be as helpful and reliable as possible to my teammates. These tips are very helpful, but i also like to play a supportive/disruptive role. Whether thats taking the lead in reviving downed teammates, which with high mobility makes Light support pretty underrated tbh. Or the other side of playing full defense on a cashout when you're the last alive, being able to pick up quick stuns or kills, being able to escape in most cases.

I play terminal attack mostly and I usually play recon. At the beginning I try to get to a good vantage point and ping people/ tracking dart them. Then I move in to flank the enemies using sonar when necessary to give teammates more info. I also run the bow (since it’s silent) and ping enemies while trying to get damage on them if I miss they generally won’t notice and if I hit then depending on their actions I keep damaging or I move out to get more info for my team. The biggest flaw is when I’m left as the last survivor. If it’s 1v1 or 1v2 I can generally get it but it takes a lot of time baiting people and maneuvering to get the right set up. So it’s hit and a lot of miss while I improve with the bow. (I would take the XP-54, but it gives away my position at a distance and causes me more trouble than helps and I really enjoy playing with the bow.) It’s a great strategy when I play with friends who can take advantage of my call outs and understand what I’m doing. But I’ve had several randoms get angry and send messages about “how I’m a light and my job is to kill things.” So the strat has some haters lol There is some good info here for improving my strat, I tend to stay in a place for a bit too long when I should be moving around more to get different vantage points and playing closer to the team, but I’m not getting consistent damage with the bow yet. Edit: I just wanted to add. Great video! It definitely gave some much needed pointers and even pointed out some flaws in my own play style even if I focus on terminal attack since it has been added over cash out.

What if I run dagger with a similar loadout but can't chip while I'm cloak scouting?

Thank you so much I can now play as a light since I know what I’m doing

Nice video Im a heavy player but i like to mess around with the light build time to time Thanks for the tips

yo the heavy on your team is my roommate! lmao that's amazing

Great video!

This is actually good advice

I don't play light but really enjoyed this video, thanks!

I’m a heavy main and this is what I would look out for when facing lights

This is sound advice for most players not even just light

Great tips aside, mad respect for the P5 music choice in the beginning.

very informative vid easy sub

finaly some good light gameplay

i subbed=, thanks for the video

As soon as I see a light put a gateway on a vault I know ima be happy ☺️

Can anyone tell me what the advantage is at 6:38? To me it seems like a very close match up between him and that light with the throwing knives.

I feel like you could get a lot more out of gateway - it works wonders for scouting and cashout defense as well as escaping - place the first gate in a safe area near where you'd like to return to or somewhere above the cashout and throw the 2nd when necessary, either when you need to return to your team, escape from a sticky situation or regain high ground after dropping down to stall a cashout - I pretty much always have a gateway out or on cooldown Vanish bombs also can function pretty well as distractions if you throw it near people to draw attention away from your location Great video though, generally playing as a satellite around your other teammates will enable you to contribute to team fights while avoiding the brunt of the damage

Very good informative video. I thought something to improve the video would be going over your build/setup before the game, explaining why you chose a certain gun/gadget.

awesome video! only tip you missed for light is if you see a sledge heavy go threw a door and close it follow him! youll be safe trust me!

Light: Intel & Info / Finish kills. Meduim: Support & Offence. Heavy: A walking punching bag with a shield. 😂

W vid

One problem is when your teammates decide not to play to win but to play to kill or they think, o, he’s light, we lose and not care. T-T

With the recent dash nerf, is it better to run grapple with sonar for recon and mobility?

ayy this helped me out. im slowly getting there lol

Oh wow, maybe me, the fastest guy on the team, squishy and with high dps, should capitalize on space made by my space-making teammates (stop telling them how to play i love crushing the dreams of lights who think they are God's gift bc they equipped throwing knives)

Roof ? Reuf ?

You forgot that light player where they insist on sniping but cant hit any shots and the enemy team has barricades barriers and domes and the f2p medium just flanked them, oh well. In a serious case I LOVE support lights they can be the dps that saves your skin and stealth revive you or pick off that last enemy

Was playin light with bow for a while ,was quite good for me but most of the matches was just straight up trash,just started using Mid with all the abilites that support team ,bruhhh the matches are noww likee really cool,ig if your goin on solo-queing help your teamates as much as possible and stick with u r teamates all the time thats the key ig!

KZfaq claims this is footage of CS:GO lol Nice vid, I'll try some of this out!

I'ma link this video whenever I have a shit light on my team

Thank you, usually I get brand new lights that can't snipe for shit lol.

Game goes hard when ure in ASIA server 😢😢 Rip myself 😂 Goodvideo btw ❤ 🎉

I do most of those tips you gave us, but ever since the cloak was heavily nerfed, I prefer to use the grapple for higher mobility. It also makes easier to steal vaults. I like to set the 1st portal 50-60m away (I know 70m is max, but to avoid the risk of losing the 1st portal, I give myself a few meters of space) and then I heist the vault by sending the 2nd one right below it. Then I quickly take the portal, grab the box and grapple away, so the enemy team who was opening the vault will lose me even if they take the portal to chase me. To delay the chase I like to throw a gas nade at portal 1 so it explodes on portal 2 (vault)

What is your favorite specialization, weapon, and gadgets for light?

Aim skill is default / Thinking is necessary for all three class but light needs it the most

me n my squad be winning back to back all using light lmao

Wowzers this called me out (it’s like light therapy)

the intro too accurate

What's you dpi and sensitivity and your focal length scaling is on or off?

As a s3 shotgun main, i pulverize lights with one good shot. All others with 2

I always have played light like this, I really don’t understand how the other play style has developed because it just sucks as a strat and isn’t fun

The one light that plays sniper 200 meters away from team and doesn't move from the spot until they get eliminated by an enemy they can't hit at 0.10 meters away from them.

earned by sub

If you are just scouting with invisible why not just take vanishing bomb?

What are your pc specs? In game graphics settings?

just tried his tips and won a world tour tornament lol

"on the ruff" Jokes aside good video!

So, they think that they are scout… so that’s why my team doesn’t hate me.

What game is this?

What game is this

Last night, I won 2 out of 3 tournaments as a medium with turret and 2 lights on my team, beating a good MHH team both times. I don't care if I have 2 lights on my team, even if I'm playing heavy. The issue isn't just on bad light players, it's people that can't be a strong solo player that need constant support or to be constantly supporting another teammate. It comes down to communication, and team fighting without needing to constantly have a buddy right next to you. If a light is a mile away fighting another team, that's on them, but if you're dying all the time and cursing a light on your team, that's on you. Unpopular opinion, I know.

I was a top 500 light otp and was probably one of around 40 true light otps in season 2. Light can be played at nearly any elo but the amount of work required gives you much less payout unless you are drastically, drastically better than your opponent. In top 500 against HHM stacks you will lose. There is nothing you can do, no team you can play around if a good HHM stack does a coordinated pad into double rpg. There is no counterplay, and your own team is not mobile enough to stop it. And there really good HHMs will have one heavy hold shield as they jump so you cant even chunk them while pushing. Add dome shield and you have close to no time where you as a player can stop them. This never stop me from playing light, as I enjoyed the playstyle too much. Light will literally never be viable in (good) comp and high elo but the difficulty of balancing the class results it in being a good pubstomper class. If you lose a duel to a light its genuinely just a skill issue in either positioning or aim. I stopped playing the game once they nerfed light time and time again to the point where invis was pointless. Light is only good in TA because its a poke class in a game mode that the playerbase is not used to and where sustain is not allowed. Even then, nothing is stopping a heavy from holding a corner with an auto shotty that two taps a light. I still love light and Ill still play it when I come back to this game every once in a while, but Nexon killed it with the season 3 changes.

yea but it depends. Like recently I got into a cashout tournament( world tour )game with 2 medium and they were absolute trash like they should just leave the game, one of them was lvl 1 ( like how the **** he can play ranked games being lvl 1 ) and the other one was lvl 17 both unranked. Im lvl 60 ranked golden 2 and last season in main ranked I was diamond 2. So I was just 1v3v3v3 the whole game and I got 31 kills after 2 rounds and they got no assist and 2 kills maximum. How the heck am I supposed to do. Like wtff

3 lights and none of them have thermal bore to knock down cashout that's nuts

Light is better at the flank position. Of course, a different story for a good aimer.

Nice Fov on aimbot on the first minute

1:47 Yakuza reference?

anyone wanna play together ?

Let me finish your title for you. How to be the light player that your teammates will love, by playing any other class.

Like any other team based game, if you play DD you follow tank and healer… not rockets science

:D

cloak is not for ratting, cloak is for scouting! 😂 whats next? stun gun is not for instant cancer, stun gun is for heroic hero stuff! turret is not for camping, turret is for tactical waiting operations!

"Not running off by yourself thinking you can kill an entire team" Sounds to me like a SKILL ISSUE shrimply IMPROVE run in by yourself and WIPE THAT TEAM or you're WEAK

Light player here. While it might seem like a cheap playstyle, I think that getting in a good position and sniping is actually very helpful to your team bc 1: area denial (other players won't try to cross your sightlines), 2: assists (getting one or two shots in a heavy can make the fight much quicker for teammates- I personally think kills aren't the most important thing), and 3: saving your teammate by either killing or damaging a chasing opponent enough that they back off (I'll admit it's pretty damn satisfying)

for the most part i agree however every person has different ways of playing and sometimes you need that personal liking to be a good player instead of just playing the same otherwise people will all play in the same way and games would be boring good video though

Ruff

light teammates always run off on their own during world tours

I think they don't know how to play L right , my friend is one of master L in game ( i think ) ,he alway can do 1vs 3 when i and another allies die , he know when he need back for help us ,when need to flanking , i watch another player play L but they can not do like that they just go flanking and die ,die and die and he can only say one sentence at a time : "where are you ?" . The only problem here is another player L need to play teammate better ,they need think before to do something ,they dont know play L they can learn from mistakes but don't blame like :" Im alway right". I see that case have in a every rank ,high rank have and low rank have. Thank you for read this ( If you see anything wrong with grammar, please forgive me , I'm quite bad at English :3)

When I see 2 L teammates... I always quit. Seriously. They are useless.

Console players, click off now. 99% of you cannot play light

Great video! I would say it’s common sense, but many Light players (or most others too, actually) lack it. That being said, I have one thing to comment on: it depends on a context, but usually it’s not worth to spend a respawn coin for 10K cash, especially if it’s the first round - it’s regarding 3:20 tip №6. Moreover, you had enough time to recapture the cashout if you team wiped immediately.
