Mass Strategy

World 330 Masses - Join large groups (20-40+) - Follow the pile leader - Quick kills, split loot - Good for learning

Smaller Teams (5-10) - Coordinate phases - Assign minion killers - Higher effort, better splits

Solo Strategy

Requirements - Near max gear - Perfect mechanics knowledge - High supplies per kill - Much longer kills

Tips - Blood phase is hardest - Use vengeance effectively - Tick-perfect switches - Very punishing

Key Mechanics

Blood Sacrifice - Nex marks a player - Run away or take massive damage - Call out if marked
