Professional Tips & Tricks

Character Customization Meta

Choosing the right skin is not just about aesthetics; it provides a significant gameplay advantage.

The "Emo Bot" Meta: The Emo Bot skin is currently considered one of the best in the game.

  • 2D Advantage: It is a 2D skin, making it much smaller than standard models like "Botbot Bash".
  • Smaller Hitbox: Its 2D nature results in a smaller hitbox, making it harder for Homer to catch you.
  • Stealth: The heart above its head is barely visible, allowing you to blend into dark corners effectively.

Advanced Movement Techniques

Wall Jumping

You can reach locations that Homer cannot access by wall jumping:

  • How to do it: Turn on Shift Lock, jump, and flick your view quickly while against a wall.
  • Pro Tip: You can practice this technique in the lobby before the match starts.

Taunt Speed Boost

Using the "Taunt Homer" emote actually increases your movement speed slightly, allowing you to outrun him more effectively.

Map-Specific Hiding Spots

The House Map

  • The Attic & Wardrobe: A classic but effective spot is the attic. You can also hide behind the closet/wardrobe. If Homer enters the attic, you can quickly drop down to escape.
  • Exterior Drop-down: There is a specific spot where you can drop down from the house to a location where Homer's AI struggles to reach.

The Krusty Krab Map

  • The Dark Corner: Head up the ladder and find the corner near the closet.
  • This area is extremely dark. If you use the Emo Bot skin here, you become virtually invisible.
  • Tests show that Homer can walk directly into the room and still fail to detect players in this corner.

Summary Tip

Always prioritize using 2D skins to fit into tighter hiding spots and reduce the likelihood of being spotted or caught.
