The key to victory in this competitive 4v4 platformer is strategy. There are strategic advantages throughout the game, from gameplay to hero roles, powers, and more.
To celebrate the start of the Crash Team Rumble Closed Beta, here are some tips and tricks that can give you a leg up on the competition to lead your team to victory:
Boosts are cumulative depending on the map you are on
- Gem pads increase your score, but there are enormous increase the potential by capturing all groups of gems on a single map.
- Pro tip: Make sure you and your team collect and accumulate as many Wumpa as possible while the boost is active, to fully benefit from it.
Fighting is only a means to an end: scoring is what counts
- The name of the game is to score – so defense is just as important as attack.
- Victory is a much more difficult task without a blocker. The main objective of the blocker is to prevent the other team from scoring in their Wumpa bank. How can a team win if they can’t bank their Wumpa? !
- Pro tip: The Gasmoxian Guard is a blocker’s best friend. Blockers should have their Gasmoxian Guard set up in the other team’s Wumpa Bank, making it extremely difficult for the other team to score.
Relic stations can swing the match
- If a game is tight, the Relic Station can make all the difference: roll over enemies, catapult around a map, and more.
- Pro tip: Collect as many relics as possible early on to use on epic stations for game-changing results later in the game when it becomes more crucial.
Use the whole map
- Don’t be afraid to explore and see what’s available in every corner of the map.
- Pro tip: Remember to explore the map vertically. Check out the views from a higher point, you never know, you might find a new way to help your team from a bird’s eye view.
Your hero’s powers matter
- Specific powers can take roles to the next level, choose wisely. Some powers are meant to compliment a hero – that is. Golden Wumpa for a striker, Gasmoxian Guard for a blocker, etc.
- Pro tip: Power placement can make all the difference, be strategic.
