Strategies from Season 1 You Can Carry Into Season 2 — Community Insights

As we slowly head towards Season 2, let’s look back at what the community learned — the builds that worked, the mistakes to avoid, and the tactics that can help you dominate the battlefield once again in the future.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Every champion started somewhere, and even veterans made a few costly moves along the way. During Season 1, the community helped highlight common mistakes that can make or break your performance.

1. Rushing to the center too early

The center is tempting, but it’s a high-risk, high-reward zone filled with strong monsters.

If you enter too early with low-tier gear, you’ll likely get eliminated fast.

However, once you’ve leveled up and gathered proper equipment, rushing mid can actually pay off, as many experienced players mentioned during Season 1.

2. Ignoring in-game tasks

Tasks reward extra shards, sometimes more than combat itself. Skipping them means losing out on easy boosts. Just be quick — others might have the same idea.

3. Be smart when gearing up.

Gear progression changes everything. Even the most skilled players struggle when using underleveled items.

That’s why upgrading your gear is essential — it not only boosts your power but also lets you face stronger opponents and earn greater rewards.

4. Try All the Heroes and Choose Your Favorite

Every hero brings a different playstyle, and experimenting with several can help you understand the game’s balance and matchups better.

Many players during Season 1 found that testing multiple heroes helped them discover the one that truly fit their strategy — and once they did, even that single hero could become a killing machine in the right hands.

5. Not checking surroundings

Awareness wins fights. Many players admitted that tunnel vision — chasing shards or enemies — often led to being ambushed.

7. Ignoring map buffs

Some players overlooked temporary boosts, like buffs, that could turn battles around.

The Shard Crab Dilemma — Risk vs. Reward

Few encounters in Season 1 sparked as much debate as the Shard Crab. This roaming boss became both a jackpot and a nightmare — dropping massive amounts of shards for those brave enough to take it down.

Some players never missed a chance:

“I never spare that crab — he’s like a small jackpot of shards 😂.” — @DARKSHINE0

Others learned the hard way that the Crab could turn the tides of battle just as easily:

The takeaway? Timing and preparation are everything. If your cooldowns are ready and your health is solid, the Shard Crab can give you the edge to secure first place. But rushing in unprepared can mean watching 20% of your shards stolen seconds later.
