💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Master the Bump-and-Run: Don't just charge in. Bump a smaller player and immediately move away to avoid a counter-attack from a larger foe. Use hit-and-run tactics to grow safely.
• ⚡ Use Your Size Wisely: When you're small, your speed is your greatest asset. Use it to dart in and out of danger. When you're large, you are slower but can bully smaller players; use your size to block paths and trap opponents against the arena's edge.
• 💰 Target the Weakened: Always look for players who are already engaged in a fight. They are distracted and easier to pick off for a quick mass gain.
• 🏆 Control the Center: Try to operate near the center of the map. This gives you the most options for both attack and escape, unlike being cornered at the edges.
