the best mechanics you should learn at each rank tier list the hardest part about brala is that a lot goes on each and every game and sometimes it's impossible to know what to do to improve so I created a tier list ranked 10 to Diamond with exactly what you should focus on to rank up quicker and why should you guys listen to me to be honest it's your choice whether you listen to me or not I am a peak 2,200 ELO Diamond so through my brala experience I'll be telling you guys what I would tell my old self but let's get right into the tier list starting off with tin to so I'm grouping 10 bronze and silver all in the same category because most likely you could instantly get out of tin and bronze just by playing matches and silver will just be included as well cuz it's not that hard to get out of for these three ranks I'm only going to be recommending two things to work on and those two things are going to be pick one character to play for the rest of your ranked career up until gold at least you got to learn the optimal combos for both of your Main's weapons if you're stuck in these ranks currently and you're watching this video I suggest you search sear up combos for whatever weapons that you play practice them in training mode get used to the optimal Combos and start using them in game rather than spamming random attacks hoping that you damage the opponent I also made a couple shorts showing optimal Combos and Dodge reads of some of the weapons like the axe Speer sword in the bow so if you like any of those weapons go ahead and check those out moving on to Gold this rank is what I consider the dodging rank so I'm going to be recommending a few things one don't Dodge in every single time you get hit if anyone anyone was to learn a Dodge read most likely they would know how to read an inward Dodge the most because most of the players in brala Dodge in so it'll only make sense to learn a Dodge read that most players Dodge in you know what I mean so try to get used to mixing up your Dodges and dodging in different directions rather than mashing towards the opponent your goal is literally to not get hit so why would you dodge towards your opponent every single time the second thing I'd put in the gold tier list is to learn how to dodge you for this all you do is hop a training mode with your main look up on YouTube Dodge reads for the weapons that you use and practice them most likely in Gold get used to reading inward outward and spot Dodges cuz those are the most common the third and final thing on this tier list that I would recommend you learn space out your jumps and your recovery options especially when you're off stage cuz 99% of the time you're probably going to panic but you have four presses of a button to get back on that stage you have two jumps a recovery option which is your power button and you have a Dodge as well so two jumps recovery and a Dodge space out your jumps and time each Jump by being more patient and waiting a second before you jump again rala is a game of patience and adaption the more you're patient the more you panic less keep that in mind now I'm going to add two more mechanics into this tier list which is Dash dancing and dash jumping to practice Dash dancing all you got to do is Dash backwards and dash forwards over and over but when you're in game I don't recommend spamming Dash dance cuz you can mess up your spacing but all you got to do is just throw out a dash dance here and there like Dash forward Dash back at some point in your game and your play style it's really good for your fingers to build muscle memory on how to Dash and do all types of things with the dash button the second thing I'm including is Dash jumping Dash jumping will literally be the most Improvement on your movement overall so what I want you to do is start off slow the more you mess up the more you build muscle memory to mess up and the more reps you get of it then at some point you'll be able to do it faster and faster all you want to do over time is to get your fingers used to the motion and at some point you'll be able to go faster and faster moving on to the plat tier the first thing I'm going to put on this tier list is to not attack so often so what I want you to do to work on this is don't Mash attack when your opponent is right in front of you and don't Mash Attacks when you miss an attack I know this isn't really a mechanic but I wanted to include it because this is one of the most important things you could do in this rank but listen the less you attack the more you could see your opponent Miss and you want most of your attacks to be attempted after your opponent's missed but even when they miss they have to be in your vicinity your aura if they miss from across the stage or throw out a random attack midair way far away from you that doesn't mean oh they miss I'm going to try to hit them from across the stage just try to use your movement do your dash dancing your dash jumping float around them get in their area they're going to miss eventually cuz that's just instinct to hit someone when they're in your area just wait for them to miss and use your combos now an actual mechanic I want you guys to work on in this tier also is Chase dodging when you hit an opponent you're given a time limit to be able to chase Dodge in multiple directions you can chase Dodge up down diagonal and forward but not backwards I don't want you guys to spam Chase Dodges after every single attack because because one you could lose your Dodge and get freaking comboed and two you're most likely going to mess up your spacing but I would only chase Dodge when I'm off stage if you need to get back on stage and your opponent jumps down to EDG guard you you can land in attack on them and immediately chase Dodge up which is like triple the height of a normal Dash Dodge but to practice this hop in a training mode and set the bot to be positioned off the stage then every time you can hit him chase Dodge up right after don't go for another attack cuz your goal is to obtain the stage control another mechanic I'm adding is fast falling and empty hot in you should already know how to fast fall cuz if you know how to dash jump you have to fast fall to be able to dash jump so the reason why you want to learn how to fast fall obviously you don't want to be floating around 3 seconds in the air looking like this to do this all you literally do is hold down after you jump that's it you can mix it up with your jumps jump fast fall jump fast fall practice jumping then fast falling and mix it up by adding a jump after each fast fall like this like I showed you and I I learned this in before I was even Diamond empty hop is basically a jump in a fast fall but you do it you do it without dashing this is a dash jump this is an empty hop where you don't dash at all this mechanic also helps you with patience so basically you're not even throwing out intact you're just baiting out with movement another mechanic that I'm putting for the low plats is weapon throwing now if you play on controller like me I suggest that you bind your throw button to a different button besides your quick attack button Buton uncheck this right here quick attacks pickup you don't want that the throw item is the pickup button but what this does for me is I'm able to pick up weapons without having to accidentally attack when I don't want to I'd always have that problem where I'd be unarmed and I would try to get a weapon but the opponent's literally like hovering inside the weapon so I can't get it since my quick attacks was to pick up say the enemy is right here right and I try to pick up this weapon my character is going to attack rather than pick up the weapon but if you turn off quick attacks pick up you can pick up with a different button you don't have to worry about attacking the opponent when you're trying to pick up the weapon that's just a quick tip for controller players back to weapon throwing practice throwing your weapon during unexpected times and make sure that you dash before you throw your weapon as well just to add a little momentum and speed to your throw I like to dash jump and throw my weapon when my opponent's like hella passive to stay on the ground a lot when the weapon throw does hit like this I always pick my weapon back up but knowing how to throw your weapon and using it in game could give you some advantage in your games it allows you to get better spacing and positioning when they get hit by the weapon they can't do anything during that5 seconds and use that as an approach and I originally wasn't going to list this on the tier list at all but weapon throwing is a mechanic so I had to include it I would tell my old self to utilize weapon throwing more often just to give myself better positioning and advantages now the last and final mechanic that I'm adding into the plat tier list is is learning how to ledge cancel now this is kind of advanced and it should probably be like the last thing that you work on out of all things but when there's Platforms in the maps that you're playing you could basically have some Advantage just by utilizing the platforms to practice this go into training mode hop on either Dojo or small Enigma this map right here is small Enigma and what I want you to do is jump then when your character is right above the platform Dash so jump hold forward and dash jump four dash jump four dash you kind of got to time this it's really precise you got to wait until your character's feet is right on top of the platform if you do it too early you're going to dash you do it too late you're going to dash so try to get used to the timing and you could already see how much Advantage it gives you like can't really tell what the opponent's doing if they do this on you the more you do this over time the more you get used to the timing you can add in another ledge cancel like this this is the last thing I want you guys to work on like don't prioritize this over anything else that I added into this tier list now lastly we got Diamond rank now these mechanics could also be used in high plat where you could practice these mechanics to get to Diamond but the first mechanic that I want you to learn is Dash cancelling you got to get used to this movement just like any other mechanic cuz it's very useful especially when you mix it up with a dash dance or Dash jump into a dash cancel is basically where you dash and hold back on the joystick like this starting from the end of the map this is a normal Dash and this is a dash cancel you can already see a big difference three dashes to get to the middle of the map and it takes like one dash to get to the middle map Dash cancelling is a very good move to create space and distance and baiting out your opponent you could could Dash towards your opponent jump around and then add a dash cancel make them feel the urge to attack you could also use Dash cancelling instead of Chase dodging if you try to dash towards your opponent you're going to chase Dodge no matter what rather than Chase dodging you could also you could also Dash cancel like this notice how my character didn't make the Dodge animation this is without lowkey Dash cancelling after an attack is more quicker too to do this all you do is land an attack but you can't do this if you're doing like a spear down light when you land an attack all you do is hold down on the joystick and and dash you can practice this by literally holding down on your joystick and pressing the dash button like I'm not moving forward at all I'm just holding down on the joystick another thing that I'm including into this diamond tier list is throw out attacks random attacks what I mean by this is throw out and attack when you're in a position where your opponent can't hit you now most of the time they'll feel an urge to try and punish you but since you're at a safe distance and you threw out your attack like far nowhere near them they'll feel the urge to punish you and when they do throw out an attack you'll be able to recover in time before they hit you and you could just get a free hit off of it you can practice this in game just the opponent's all the way over there jump do a random thigh air they'll try to hit you Petra has gauntlets she'll do a side light after I miss boom we can do something like throw out attacks that you know that they can't hit you from it's very good baiting Tech technique I learned this from celix the last and final thing that I'm adding into this diamond tier list is resetting to neutral now this isn't really a mechanic it's more of like a knowledge thing but every time you hit your opponent you go into an advantage state if you continue to try and hit them again or go for Strings while they have their Dodge after you hit them then you put yourself in a disadvantage state but if you attack your opponent then back off or wa for them to dodge then you put yourself in a neutral state where you could keep on finding ways to hit them over and over without putting yourself in a disadvantage state by missing an attack now you could practice this by just going in game and hitting your opponent once don't go for Dodge reads or don't throw attacks trying to predict your opponent and go based off of what you see so you hit the opponent with like a sidelight you're in you're in an advantage State when you do this but say the bot Dodges like spot Dodges if I try to continue the string and add a downl I'm in a disadvantaged state cuz Petra dodged out of my attack so basically it was a trade if the Petra does land a hit on me you don't want to do that you got to try your best to be the one putting more numbers on there this is something that I struggle with a lot so what you want to do is do the sidelight and back off I'll be putting an advantage State I back off I'm in neutral state in a normal brala game you're you're already in neutral state when you don't attack or do anything at all when you land an attack you're in an advantage State and when you back off you're in a neutral State again neutral State you always have an opportunity to put yourself in an advantage state so basically to sum this all up just attack your opponent once and just wait put yourself in neutral State attack them again put yourself in neutral State attack them again put yourself in neutral State you know you're never putting yourself at a disadvantage by trying to pred adct your opponent it's more of hitting them and backing up so that you can hit them the same way you hit them the first time you know what I mean now this is a pretty helpful tip cuz it also comes along with patience and overall it could be that one thing that changes you as a brala player but that is my tier list guys if you haven't already and you want to see how I got to Diamond all the way from 10 with the least
