Hyper Offense guide - How I got to top 500 on the ladder

I'm going to share the strategy that helped me climb the rankings. It's all about pressure and momentum.

Hyper Offense Lead

Core Principles:

  • Never give your opponent free turns

  • Always have a sweeper ready to clean

  • Hazards are your best friend

  • Predict switches aggressively


Team Structure:
  • Lead: Suicide Hazard Setter

  • 2 Setup Sweepers

  • 1 Priority User

  • 1 Wallbreaker

  • 1 Cleaner


The key is to overwhelm your opponent with constant threats. If they're always on the defensive, they can't set up their own win conditions.

What's your preferred playstyle? Hyper Offense, Balance, or Stall?
