Slam Dunk Tips and Tricks that will Destroy your Enemies

 

Slam Dunk is a new mobile arcade-styled Basket Ball game released for both iOS and Android. It offers hours of fun playing against both the AI and other players in competitive basketball matches.

 

The game offers a large amount of action as you break lines of defense, secure hoops, and try to defend against the enemy's attacks. The game involves six players battling it out in anime-style Basketball in real-time, which is exhilarating.

 

In this article, we're going to about Slam Dunk Tips and Tricks that will decimate your enemies and make you a much better player.

 

Understand Roles in Slam Dunk:

 

Any sports game has many designated roles for players, which create a sense of positioning and a general-purpose. Basketball or Slam Dunk is no different. Each player or character is given a proper role, which they should try to do to win the game efficiently.

 

Slam Dunk uses the same formula of positioning and general roles as the real game of Basketball. For players who are unaware, here is a quick overview:

 

Center: The Center is usually the bulkiest and slowest player in the match. He can block and score rebounds with a lot of ease. They are usually great defenders and thus should stick to being close to their hoop.

 

Shooting Guard: The shooting guard is used as outer-defense. This means that these players are usually used to flank the enemy team when they over-commit to an attack, and the Center can pass the ball to them.

 

Power Forwards: Power Forwards are the brute of your offense. They are great at scoring layups and are fairly good at defending. They are worse than Centers, though, and usually play in the middle of the arena.

 

Small Forward: The Small Forward is usually the player that runs around the most during the middle of the match. He has no designated position but should rather be satisfactory at passing, shooting, and defending. His role is dependent on what the situation demands for a particular moment.

 

Communicate with Your Team:

 

 

Basket Ball is all about team-work and communication. You should never be silent during your games, especially when Slam Dunk has an in-built voice chat feature just for this reason.

 

Generally, it would be best if you were informing your team-mates regarding ideas about attacking and defense. Moreover, it would help if you kept updating them about what you think is the best course of action currently in the game.

 

Communication also allows you to listen to your team-mate's calls regarding important things in the match. So, keep your headphones plugged in and stay on the cue for any instant updates during the entire duration of the match.

 

Lock your Opponents if you Get the Chance:

 

Slam Dunk offers the same strategies and gameplay you would find in a normal game of Basketball. Therefore, you can use techniques that you would usually see in an ordinary match in the game.

 

If you are a Power Forward or a Center, you can use your size advantage to reel a player completely and not let them come out of your vicinity unless and until they move back or try to pass someone else.

 

If they try to pass, since you have a much larger size, you can easily intercept their pass, thereby completely dismantling their attack by one single move. To lock your opponents, you should try to stick to them as close as possible and try to anticipate who the next pass will go to.

 

Getting better at locking your opponent will make it much harder for the enemy team to break your line of defense.

 

Use the Blocking Mechanic as Much as you can:

 

 

The blocking mechanic is one of the hardest in Slam Dunk as it requires timing and precision. However, if you land a successful block, it quickly translates into a steal while also destroying the enemy's offensive move.

 

Blocking is when you stand in front of a shot about to happen by the enemy player. If you time it right and jump, you should intercept their pass, which should let you score an easy point as their position will be in chaos.

 

Blocking also gives you a chance to knock your opponent's out if you are heavier than them. However, if you miss a block, you will completely negate your chance of putting up a defense, and it will most definitely lead to enemy scoring.

 

Do not Excessively Dribble:

 

 

Dribbling is a core component of Slam Dunk. It helps you plan out your next move with precision and accuracy. However, doing it in excess is not recommended as it leaves you quite vulnerable to your ball being stolen from behind or your ball is locked.

 

So, if you see an enemy hogging the ball, you can just press the steal button, and it will take the ball away from an enemy player who is dribbling too much. As a rule of thumb, the more a player hogs the ball, the easier it gets to steal the ball from them as well.

 

Use Macros to your Advantage:

 

If you play on an Emulator, you can use some special features exclusive to Emulators like LDPlayer, which give you an edge over your competition.

 

Emulators are generally known to be much more stable and smoother than mobiles. The advantage of this smoothness is that it is ultimately much easier to understand the game's situation and make instantaneous decisions due to the general fluidity an emulator like LDPlayer can provide.

 

More important. However, LDPlayer also allows you to use Keyboard macros to get an edge on your opponents. Keyboard Macros are shortened commands that you can record yourself and activate as many times as you want with a button's press.

 

The advantage of macros in Slam Dunk is that you can bind more complex maneuvers such as turning and passing to a Macro, which you can then activate by the press of a button. If you bind all these maneuvers to particular macros, you will gain an edge over anyone who plays against you.

 

Conclusion:

 

Slam Dunk's competitive mode has certainly raised the standards for how good you need to be in terms of mechanics and strategies to rank up or get very good at the game.

 

The game is quite tough to learn as it revolves around a blend of both strategy and mechanics. Whether you are defending or attacking, it takes a lot of time, effort, and practice to get good at the game.

 

In conclusion, you should understand the many nuances of the game much better with the tricks mentioned above so you can start grinding your way to the top of the leaderboards in Slam Dunk.
