Tips

  • When using a Plasma Sword, the dash attack (Right Click) is incredibly useful in closing the distance to the goal post.
  • Jump and stun when surrounded. If anything, you will buy time to either decimate your stunned foes or escape through dashing away.
  • When initiating a Weak Slash or Strong Slash, jumping to the left or right DURING the attack animation allow you to attack in mid-air. Useful for knocking your rivals out of the air when they attempt a Jump attack.
  • Some other weapons can be chained with the Plasma Sword Dash Attack, such as the SubMachine Gun and the Twin Blade.
  • A combo that guarantees a kill against a single player is jump attack, dash attack, then heavy.
  • The Jump Attack can be very useful in TD. Use it to stun the Fumbi holder to prevent them from making a touchdown.

Trivia

  • The player used to automatically start out with a Plasma Sword. But in EUS4, players were once given a Training Plasma Sword instead, but unlike a regular Plasma Sword, its damage was roughly halved in comparison to it's normal counterpart, making it not as effective in terms of usage. This has been replaced in Patch 33 by the giving new players in by KrS4 and EUS4 Training Spy Daggers.
  • There was another variation of Plasma Sword named Lucifer which was a dummy data, but now, it has become obtainable via Item Crafting System from March 25th.
