    Hacked firebases rip through juice armor almost as without it. You're better off using the shurigun in any cases, even if you pass by it while juiced.

    I take it out if I can. If it's taking too long, I go and gather juice before tackling it then whatever else I can plan on a route for my juice.

    BAhahaha!
    Oh Ian, how adorable you are.

    Normally, yes, I wouldn't have. As sleep deprivation is why.
    But this was created due to an extraordinary circumstance.

    I'd like to add that putting your sensitivity on 10, juicing, then spinning in your opponent's base while shooting shuriken WILL get you some hysterical kills, and multi kills on occasion.

    I bet that's fun. I do that in Blitz between rounds.
    Well, not Juice, but I aim slightly upward and shoot while spinning.

    It looks super cool. I call it the Starburst!

    Another thing you could put in the guide is to tell noobie assassins to never stop moving. I have gotten headshots on assassins because they were standing still and shrukening. I have also gotten them with support on ammo mule by using the jump pads to surprise them.

    The way my guide is written, that message is superfluous. Not only have I stated that Assassins multiple things to do, I've also said a number of times that she is one of the most mobile Pros--which implies movement--and that they shouldn't be doing the same thing for too long--which also implies movement.

    Any time I mention standing still, I also talk about being under the influence of Cloak, and only then I don't talk about that until they have Cloak 3. I don't even say to stand still while FROZEN, haha.

    If they can't gather that they should always be moving and standing still is ill-advised unless Cloaked, that's their fault. I'm not going to spoon-feed them; this guide is just to push them in the right direction, not tell them explicitly what to do.

    One thing you might want to add is that Shurikens are much more deadly if you strafe into the opponent. For example, if someone is charging you, walk backwards and at an angle to where you're moving behind a wall, but your reticle is where the enemy is walking towards(because they get cocky and think they can take assassins out). Because shurikens go slower than bullets, if you aim infront of the Pro it is more likely that you'll hit. Works really well if you've played games that involve having to aim slightly infront of the other person.

    Also, Gremlins + Shurikens + Cloak 3 = Destruction.

    Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Good point, Deadeye. I'll add in a tidbit about that.

    I just added in Juice-taunting, because I realized I said I would talk about it...
    And then never did. xD

    It always amazes me in pub games where my team is getting stomped and yet the enemy team builds Laser Blazers. It's like they're giving me a chance or something.

    I wouldn't be surprised.

    As well-known as the tactic is, it's about twice as much unknown.
