💡 Expert Tips
- Start with Dash or Pull: These S/A-tier abilities teach core game mechanics — positioning and ball control
- Save coins for Telekinesis: If you can master it, Telekinesis dominates competitive matches
- Timing beats rarity: An S-tier ability won't save you if you can't parry — practice F-key timing first
- Combo offense + defense: Pair Dash (defense) with Force (offense) — best balanced loadout
- Force is meta 2026: Triple shockwave + push = control crowds in larger matches
- Avoid Pulse early: Highest cost, lowest utility — only useful vs Dash spammers
