This page will show tips for how to play well and win matches.
How to Catch[]
You can catch/collect any ball by left-clicking directly on it when it is in range. The ball will glow your color when it is catchable. If the caught ball was thrown by an enemy, they will be KO'd. If playing in elimination mode, catching a ball will also respawn a friendly teammate (unless playing in Free for All mode).
Note you can perform this on neutral dodgeballs that are laying on the ground. Practice clicking on them when nearby to get a good sense of the range of the catch action.
If playing multiplayer, you should generally stand your ground when catching rather than backing up. This is because the natural lag in multiplayer will cause position discrepancies between you and the thrower, and backing up means you'll appear closer to them than you actually are, and therefore their dodgeball throw may hit you from their perspective before it gets within range from your view.
If playing in singleplayer, this lag does not apply so backing up can help make catching easier.
How to Power Slide[]
Power sliding is a mechanic used to quickly recharge boost during a match.
Hold down RMB while pressing forward (W). Once you start turning with the mouse you'll start drifting. You can adjust slide with mouse or A/D.
The sharper the slide angle, the faster your boost meter will recharge.
You can overcharge boost to 125% during sliding, and at that point releasing RMB will result in a miniboost.
Stay Mobile[]
Don't make yourself an easy target, keep moving at all times and don't get tunnel vision while going after a specific person. Use power slides and jumps to make sure that you never have to slow down.
