How to Progress Quickly in Asphalt 9: Legends

 

Gameloft's Premiere Racing Game, Asphalt 9: Legends, has quickly solidified itself into Legend with its visual fidelity, intricate mechanics, and general subtle play. However, please do not confuse this game with a racing simulator. The game features arcade graphics, visuals, and driving, which take off the realism from it but still keep it quite fun, especially for those looking for a more casual experience.

 

The game still features officially licensed cars from the likes of Ferrari and Bugatti and has quite a hard progression and rank system that you need to master to get better cars. Asphalt 9: Legends surprisingly has many different game modes and missions that you need to play in a certain order to be efficient with them.

 

Upgrade Wisely:

 

Going towards the next best flashy car might not always be the smartest option in Asphalt 9: Legends. With an increase in how the game favors stats over everything, you need to make sure that the car you are getting for each tier is worth its cost.

 

A quick way to check would be never to purchase any cars that are smaller in size. So, your Mini Coopers and smaller Volkswagens should be thrown out the window the moment you start racing. While these cars offer a ton of off-the-race-line acceleration, they lack handling and general stability, making using them extremely hard in an actual race. They do work great for drag races, though, but there are hardly any in Asphalt 9.

 

Another factor most players ignore the after-market customizations you can add to a car to universally increase all its stats in a meaningful manner. Generally, these stats let you change the car's tide by introducing stability, acceleration better boosts, or handling to the car. So, do not just look at the basic stats but look at the upgradability.

 

 

In most cases, Sedans and Coupes are car types that have the most upgrade and customization options for each tier. Preferring them over other cars has real advantages. Even though you might find another car with better base stats, the upgradability is something you should never ignore, especially in a game where getting better cars is not always an option.

 

Getting Better At Racing:

 

An obvious way to progress quickly in Asphalt 9: Legends would be to get better at racing in general. Even if you have a good car and know all the routes to specific locations and areas, being adept at racing and understanding how to handle your car in the most optimal way can play a huge role in your overall progression in the game itself. There are a few tips and tricks you can take advantage of to get better at racing extremely quickly.

 

Braking with Purpose:

 

 

Most players in Arcade Racing forget about their brake button. While accelerating mindlessly into corners does not yield as much of a negative impact as it would in an actual racing simulator, it still slows you down quite a bit. A quick remedy for this would be to stop slamming into corners with no real purpose behind them.

 

You should rather try to brake as soon as you get close to the corner to increase your speed and then sway your steering slightly so that you can take a much cleaner turn. As this helps you get your car in an optimal position before the turn, there is a very high chance you will not be colliding into anything. You can then slam the gas pedal as soon as you do this turn.

 

Understanding Collisions:

 

Who does not love slamming into other opponents when playing an Arcade racing game? You can take this mechanic to your advantage and decimate your opponents. If you were to start hitting opponents from the rear side, the chances are that they quickly regain control of their car and carry on their merry way.

 

To get an advantage without harming your progress with the race, you can use your boost to hit them from the front, or you can perform a side-collision. In both cases, the other car should be going swirling if you perform this maneuver properly.

 

Another collision attempt you can is a knockout. If you move towards the car with a specific amount of force (generally a lot!), you should be able to completely get the car off the track, completely hindering their race.

 

As soon as the race starts, you should have a target in your mind who you feel might end up taking the race if they are left unchecked. Focus on them and get them before they establish a lead with you. So, using your nitro boosts early to get close to them and generate enough force is definitely not a bad idea, and you should not shy away from doing so at all.

 

Race only when Ready:

 

A lot of players make the mistake of racing when their cars are not fully customized. Remember that racing has a very real fuel cost that might hinder your game in the long-run.

 

 

So, you should only race when you are confident that your vehicle is now ready to be put on the tracks, with a high chance of winning if you play properly. So, be very patient with your racing. If you are aching to race, replay an older race of yours. They do not consume any fuel and are fun to play nevertheless.

 

Conclusion:

 

Asphalt 9: Airborne has solidified itself into being one of the best Arcade Racing Games on Mobile. With its popularity, a lot of competitive play has sparked up in recent months. Therefore, it only makes sense that players like you wish to take up every competitive edge they can get to beat their friends and opponents from all around the world. Racing games revolve around a lot of luck, but they require a ton of skill.

 

Focusing on these tips should help you become a better racer while also letting you have a better car next time you race. Try to be very patient with your purchases and race with aggression to secure the first position every time.
