How to stop assassins from juicing on your bots

The only way the assassin will get bots is by killing your bots with melee, sword, dagger attacks.

If you walk in the lane with your bots and stay within range of them. Walk the same direction but keep your angle to the side to see if anyone is coming. Keep an eye out for the assassin and the second they come near death blossom and chase/charge them down.

Chances are they will burn to death or try to get away. Thats fine cause your bots are still there.

Basically this tatic is what I used in team fortress 2 called the spy check. Basically keep burning the air or anyone if they are disguised. Well there are no spy's in this game only invisible assassins.

Predict their movement as well... If they are in the lane killing your bots give them a taste of their own medicine with the ejector.

Also a good idea is product bomb inside the bot swarm so the explosion hits them if they are cloaked or trying to do something in the lane.

Also its a good idea to finish off the assassin with bomb 2 or 3 and the rail gun once you lit them up.

Some assassins know of a glitch or a trick to keep them alive from the charge 3. This is basically the jump as you get hit or smoke bomb jump. Again if they run away thats fine cause your bots are still there.

You'll only be able to chase down the assassin with speed pickups or speed 3. Chances are youll never catch them if they have speed picks ups or skill 3 speed. So use the air to your advantage and jump/fly over things like glass or walls etc.


Another great technique for the defensive base tank is setup shave ice as bait and let them try to attack it. Turrets give the assassin juice but the shavice is their main weakness if your near by. Once you torch them or blossom them keep on them so they cant run. If you see them use smoke bomb charge and blossom them. That way if they are on fire changes are they will do soon enough.

If your playing vs a shruiken assassin take cover and and rail gun or bomb them away.

You have the advantage over the assassins in most cases.

Also your builds.. never run anything less then silver armor or less then passive 2 or 3. Reason being if your gold armor/passive 3 youll live to be able to kill the back grappler with a sword. Charge and blossom them as a counter. Again smart assassins should stay away from you and try to attack long range or trick you.

Hope this helps the tanks who are having trouble with the pests.

Also note that charge 3 usually kills assassins and snipers pretty quickly so use it alot.

feel free to comment, troll, etc .

Could care less

btw: I run speed, armor, reload
Lol build
Also use your glide charge.. charge 3 then tap a near the mid or end of the charge and youll glide farther.

also want to add that if your sniper you can catch up to the assassin with gold speed or speed picksups.

How will this help?

You use ice trap 3 and put them near areas where your bots are.
They jump your bots and get stuck. Run up and level 2/3 grapple, flak them, smg them. Lol them, ejector them.

Sniper is the 2nd fastest class and with speed as an endorsement you can catch up to the assassin.

Gold speed sniper can do wonders if you want to hunt them down or jump to areas which you normally couldnt before.

feedle with all his usefull guides!

Or you could just hold A after you charge. Also you didn't mention it has to be off of a ledge can't be ground level or from a jump charge.

just to clarify, is this a guide on how to kill an assassin as a tank?

You actually can do it on level ground. It's something I mess up more times than I get it, but I guess i try to do it everytime out of spawn. I have spawned and did the charge glide from in the spawn and landed on top of the middle glass ledge around the ring of our base.

It's also great to do on ammomule when you're coming back from their base to yours.
