Aim with your elbow/shoulder rather than your wrist. Smooth fluid aim is the key to getting those skulls under control.Īlso consider setting your Gamma low.

Unlike every other game that has a gamma setting, in Devil Daggers, lower means brighter. Turns out good movement negates the need for twitch aiming, and you rarely have to turn more than 90 degrees in a short amount of time, and slower, smoother aiming is actually more effective at killing swarms of skulls and scraping centipedes. So lower look speed is actually ideal for this game. I still don't understand how players like Bintr and Chupacabra can play with eDPIs in the 100s, but I get it now. You don't really have to kite centipedes, as they're pretty easy to deal with. And kiting Gigapedes is also super easy, since they move as fast as you walk. The most important thing to remember here is to NEVER run in a straight line. The Skulls move faster than you and will overtake you very fast. Keep your movement in circles, and your circles mostly anti-clockwise. Sometimes it's necessary to go clockwise, but it's rare. There are only two times when moving in a straight line is okay.ġ. is when the arena is clear or mostly clear and a Squid or Spider spawns. Running towards them is usually the most effective way to take them out. And it's also part of my strategy for dealing with 134-174.Ģ. (and you should be strafe-running while doing so) is when you're in the middle of a farm and there's a lot of SKULL IIs flying around. Cutting through the center of the arena lets you kill a ton of them and makes it less likely that you'll get randomly snuffed by one. When doing this, it's probably a good idea to alternate the direction you're looking in. if you were kiting anti-clockwise, and keeping your mouse movement going to the left. You'll cut through the center with a smaller anti-clockwise circle while moving your mouse right. This is because the Skull IIs are actually tracking how you move and will try to blindside you if you cut through their territory. Contrary to what every other guide says, the Skull II's actually DO chase you. They chase you when you get too close and/or aren't looking directly at them, but they try to strike you from above or from the side. Simply reversing directions can be used in a lot of situations. Because skulls follow (for the most part) a predictable boid pathfinding AI, you can manipulate them into going into a circle (kiting), and then abruptly reverse your direction. This will force them to run into you at a 'straight' line, and it can be exploited. #DEVIL DAGGERS CONTROLLER SUPPORT UPGRADE#.
