PRO TIP for Power Trip (the battery game)

[☭ Little King Trashmouth ★]

Maybe first basic thing about how to play Power Trip: there are 3 batteries on each teams side and 4 players each, that means that 3 of your team grab a battery and each try to "color" as fast and effectively as many tiles as they can. The fourth players job (the one without battery) is to harrass one of the other teams battery holders as effectively as he can to keep him from coloring tiles, ideally even managing to steal the battery from him.

But here comes what I mean by "pro-tip", as I observed it someone else doing it to me:

Don't keep the battery grabbed when an opponent player grabs you. If you do that, when the opponent player loses his grip, which is after about 2 seconds or so(?), you will lose your battery and the battery gets thrown up in the air unpredictable where it lands, creating a chance for the opponent player to get it before you can get it back plus you lose quite some time while the battery is somewhere in the air.

INSTEAD: When the opponent grabs you, hold on a bit, but then release the battery shortly before the opponent loses his grip. If you do that, the battery will just drop on the ground right in front of you and you can immediately get it back once the opponent has lost his grip on you.

That has 2 advantages:

1. You can re-grab the battery much faster, because it stays right in front of you, instead of getting catapulted up in the air.

2. the chances for the opponent to steal the battery from you are much smaller, because usually you get grabbed from behind, so the opponent is behind you, but you drop the battery right in front of you -> you can just re-grab it almost immediately

Of course, that means that chances are that you have to do it over and over, assuming that the player harassing you keeps harassing you. But it's the most effective way to counter the grabbing attack, respectively to minimize the disrupting effect of the harassing, as far as I know.

Power Trip Pro Tip #2: Run between the lines to get both titles at the same time.

Pro Tip #3: If you have a battery, run into the person your trolling team mate is chasing to slow them down and give your team mate time to grab them.

That's what I meant by "as effectively" as possible. It's quite difficult though when you run straight between two rows to 100% cover both tile rows, you have to be very accurate, but of course thats the most effective way, it happens to me though that I miss tiles when I do it that way. Other way is to wobble left and right to make sure you cover botch tile rows, but that also means that you are not as fast as if you would go straight.

Thats actually a good tip too, but people with batteries move slower anyway, so that shouldnt be a problem to catch them. Unless of course the guy chasing the battery holder doesn't have his grab function activated all the time, which slows him too, had that just recently.
