Pro Player Strategies
Top Indian Player Tips
We interviewed three top-ranked Indian players to share their secrets:
1. Rohan "The Trishul" Patel (Rank #3 India)
"Master the Chakra Disc's return trajectory. Most players underestimate its damage potential when used correctly. Aim slightly above your target for maximum effect."
2. Priya "Diwali Diva" Sharma (Rank #7 India)
"Save your Holi Color Cloud for the final circle. When everyone's crowded, pop it and go for the kill while they're confused by the colors."
3. Arjun "Vajra Warrior" Singh (Rank #12 India)
"The Garuda Bow's fire arrows do extra damage to structures. Use them to collapse buildings and flush out campers during endgame."
Weapon Synergy Guide
Effective weapon combinations for Indian players:
-
Trishul + Chakra: Close-range dominance
-
Garuda + Diwali: Long-range area denial
-
Vajra + Ganesh: Frontline tanking
