|---|---|---|
| Start of the match | earthquake | Breaks off a big part of the map early, which makes coins easier to earn later. |
| Lots of players bunched up | black hole | Anyone caught in the eaten corner dies. Tsunami and meteor also hit crowds. |
| Players far away or standing still | sniper | Grab the rifle and pick them off from range. |
| A few players left and you want the win | time stop | Everyone else freezes while you move. Pair it with a rocket launcher to finish them. |
| You are being chased or the map is full of hazards | plane | Fly above the ground hazards. Car, castle and helicopter also get you out. |
| You are hurt | medkit | Full heal. Capybara, Jesus and Sorry heal too. |
| You want protection | arise | Shadow knights guard you. Shield and Force Field (item) also block damage. |
| A monster is loose | saitama | One punch clears the monsters. Chill guy calms them down. |
Before you type, check what's already on the map. A word that stacks with an earlier hazard can trap you too, so keep an escape route you can actually reach.
