<p class="">The key to victory in this 4v4 competitive platformer is strategy. There are strategic advantages throughout the game from gameplay, to hero roles, powers, and more. </p>
<p class="">To celebrate the start of Crash Team Rumble’s Closed Beta – here are some tips and tricks that can give you a leg up on the competition to lead your team victory:</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boosts are stackable depending on what map you’re on</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Gem pads boost your score, but there is <em>huge</em> boost potential by capturing all of the gem pad clusters on one map. </li><li><strong>Pro Tip: </strong>Be sure you and your team collects and banks as much Wumpa as possible while the boost is active, to fully benefit from the boost. </li></ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fighting is only a means to an end: scoring is what counts</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The name of the game is scoring – so defense is just as important as offense.</li><li>Victory is a much harder task without a blocker. The blocker’s main goal is to prevent the other team from scoring at their Wumpa bank. How can a team win if they can’t bank their Wumpa?!</li><li><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> The Gasmoxian Guard is a blocker’s best friend. Blocker’s should have their Gasmoxian Guard set up camp at the other team’s Wumpa bank, making it extremely difficult for the other team to score. </li></ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Relic Stations can swing the match</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>If a game is close, the Relic Station can make all the difference – rolling over enemies, catapulting around a map, and more. </li><li><strong>Pro Tip: </strong>Collect as many relics as possible early to use on epic stations for game changing results later in the match when it becomes more crucial.</li></ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Use the whole map</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Don’t be afraid to explore and see what’s available in all of the corners of the map.</li><li><strong>Pro Tip: </strong>Don’t forget to explore the map vertically. Check out the views from a higher point, you never know, you may find a new way to help your team from a bird’s eye perspective.</li></ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your hero’s powers matter</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Specific powers can take roles to the next level, choose wisely. Some powers are meant to compliment a hero – ie. golden Wumpa for a scorer, Gasmoxian Guard for a blocker, etc.</li><li><strong>Pro Tip: </strong>Placement of a power can make all the difference, be strategic.</li></ul>
