[Contest] The complete guide to Awesomenauts

Hello everybody! This is a guide for the newest awesomenauts players that are in Awesomenauts right now.
Dutch version W.I.P

Hello!

In this guide I will give you the most important info about 'Nauts, maps and the standard gamemode.
I will do it in this order.

• How to win a game
  
• Important info you have to know!
  
• Awesomenauts Classes
  
• What 'Nauts are in the game
  
• Maps you play on

Important info you have to know before going into battle!

I will explain all the things you need to know before going into a match like solar, upgrades and debuffs.

How to win a match

In this part I will explain how to win a game.
Solar Drill: You can win a game in the standard gamemode by destroying the enemies solar drill.



Turrets: Before you can get to the enemy drill you will need to destroy the enemy turrets, a normal awesomenauts map usually has 3 to 4 turrets and to get to the base you will need to destroy at least 2 turrets.
After you kill a turret your team wil be rewarded 30 solar and 20xp and on top of that the one that finishes the turret will get 40 extra solar.



Droids: A turret has many Health points and deals heavy damage so to kill it you will need some droids to tank the damage, these droids will fight against the other droids and if you destroy them you will get 5 solar and 5xp(you get 4% extra xp every level your team gains)



As bonus for killing a turret you will also get a rocket droid that deals great damage to turrets, droids and enemy awesomenauts but when it is destroyed it gives 10 solar to the 'Naut that destroyed it and 15xp to the Naut's team.



On Ai station 205 you can summon airdroids, these give the same amount of solar and xp the sawblade droids do.


If the droids would fight on their own if will be an endless stalemate, thats why we have the Awesomenauts, Read about them below!

Solar

Solar is the ingame currency you can spend during a match.
In the standard gamemode you will start with 150 solar you will and automaticly get 1 solar every two seconds.
When you fall in the droppod you can get around 35 solar if you do everything right.
The maps have many of these cubes lying around:

These cubes are worth 1 solar.

Most times when a droid gets killed these will lie around:

These cubes are worth 5 solar.

Here is a table about how much solar you get from what.

Entity	Solar
Silver Cube	1
Gold Cube	5
Every 2 Seconds	1
A creep	3
Saw/air droid	5
Super Droid	10
Solar boss (Entire Team)	20
A Turret (Entire Team)	30
Death	-30

Note: The person that kills the turet will get 40 solar.
Note 2: The person that kills an enemy 'Naut will get 40 extra solar.
Note 3: Only droids that are spawned by the base (so not summoned) will give 5 solar.
Note 4: When you launch with the droppod after death you can get the solar you lost back by catching all solar you can get in the drop (usually 35)

Piggy bank

You can always "buy" a piggy bank in the shop, this will give you 100 solar but because you can only unlock 3 upgrades each row, you can buy an extra utility upgrade like extra HP or extra Regeneration.
Because of this I recommend you to only buy piggy bank when losing hard or if you know the match isn't going to take long anymore.
I recommend to not buy it when at the start because you will never know how the match will go.

Upgrades

To spend your solar you need to go to the shop.

If you recall you will be teleported to the shop, in the shop you will also regen HP really fast.
When in the shop you can press B to buy upgrades.
You can only buy three upgrades each row but with the right upgrade combo's you can do heavy damage to enemy 'Nauts.

Tip 1: Try to make a build instead of random upgrades, what I mean by this is that you know what to buy at what point and how much solar it costs.
Tip 2: Press TAB to see your enemies upgrades so you know what to expect, to see the effect of the upgrade just hover with you mouse over their upgrades.

Debuff

A debuff is something that is usually bad for the 'Naut you are playing but when you can give other characters a debuff you can use it to your advantage.
An example is Derpl's snare, it makes enemies become stuck for a small time so he can get into turret mode and do lots of damage.
I will explain debuff's and characters that can debuffs in the topic's under this one.

Movement and Voice Commands

Movement
If you are low on HP but all your allies are still respawning, it is not smart to just rush into the battlefield, instead just go behind the turret and try to defend as well as possible.

If you have enough solar to buy some upgrades, wait until your allies are into the battlefield and let them know you recall to base (you can recall to base by holding F).

Voice Commands
These are the available voice commands
If you press 1: You will taunt your enemies, your 'Naut will say something funny to the enemy team.
If you press 2: You will request help, your 'Naut will say something and on the top of your allies screen there will be a notification you need help.
If you press 3: You will command your team to defend, your 'Naut will say something like "defend" and on the top of your allies screen there will be a notification you want them to defend.
If you press 4: You will command your team to attack, your 'Naut will say something like "attack" and on the top of your allies screen there will be a notification you want them to attack.

Note: Please don't spam these button as it can be quite irritating.

Here I will explain what Awesomenauts there are and a small summary about things you have to know about everyone. Please Note that 'Nauts get more HP if their team as their team levels.


You can test-play every Awesomenaut if you want! Just go to the armory, Awesomenauts, click on a naut and press try!
