How to use Slash in Plunderstorm

In the world of Plunderstorm, every journey begins with a single Slash.

This unassuming basic attack may not boast the flashy effects or game-changing mechanics of some other skills, but don't underestimate its importance. From the first mob you slay to the final player you defeat, Slash will be your constant companion.

In this guide, we'll explore how to make the most of this humble yet essential ability, from maximizing your damage output to mastering the art of the last-hit. So sharpen those blades and get ready to Slash your way to greatness!

Offensively

Slash will be your primary way of dealing damage when your other abilities are on cooldown. Use it to maintain pressure on your opponent and force them to stay on the defensive. Since Slash has a short 6 yard range, you'll need to stay in close to your target to keep dealing damage. Be mindful of your positioning and use your mobility abilities to stay on your opponent.

To maximize your early game progress, use Slash as much as possible while farming Plunder to level up. Try to pull small groups of mobs and use Slash on cooldown to farm as quickly as possible, while moving in a circle to avoid taking damage.

Consistently farming mobs with Slash will ensure a steady stream of Plunder, allowing you to keep pace with other players. Neglecting to farm effectively in the early game can put you at a significant disadvantage later on, so make sure to master Slash's timing and range to efficiently clear mobs and elites.

As you continue to level up and expand your toolkit, Slash will remain a reliable fallback for farming Plunder when you don't want to commit a cooldown.

Remember, while Slash is a basic ability, it's still an important part of your kit. Weave it in between your other abilities to keep your damage output consistent, and don't underestimate its utility for pulling and poking.
