"Corim was the world record holder for that game as far as I know nobody got above his 500 something - 0"
it's not hard to kill without dying just camp at teleporters safe zone at one of the portals and wait for somebody to enter the portal you're camping when they're teleported to you they won't have force field for the first second
or float above noobs who don't know how to play fall on them and kill them
or be invisible and wait for noobs to come
noobs = free kills they're everywhere

i use the extreme pro strategy
its where you use only overpowered swords like the darkheart or the wind thingy and whenever you die you blame it on exploits or lag
you also have to call people a noob or filterpass some swears if they kill you with an overpowered sword while you dont have one

usually, people like that quit and rejoin to restart their streak it's not worth it idk why people do that -__-
"you also have to call people a noob or filterpass some swears if they kill you with an overpowered sword while you dont have one"
or claim they hacked n11

not trying to stop you but the animations sorta ruined the play
you freeze when you lunge if you jump with the ghostwalker you cant move further until you hit the ground again illumina is x111 harder to control due to its speed changes
there's a "fixed" version but nobody plays it and i dont have the link :(

Hell, I'm trying to post my response, but it's not letting me
"You must supply a message" or something
I don't want to just resort to posting pastebin links all the time, so I hope you don't mind if I just bump with another response (the main message reached max character count anyway, so this would be a separate post normally).
"nobody got above his 500 something - 0"
I've gotten a 621 - 0, and I've gotten quite a few in the 400-500 range
i could have gone a lot longer but i made a stupid play and ruined it :(((((
re, it's normally around 6-10 people that go, so we could always try and do that.

OKAY since people likely wont go through multiple links to read it im just posting it all here in sections, if that is ok sorry for looking like im spamming posts
Mine usually varies, but I always have two main strategies/play styles, for the most part. It's either a long, but sustained Ghostwalker streak, or a quick, fun Illumina streak. For the former, like I implied, the number will be a bit higher normally, but proportionally, not at all. Vice versa for Illumina. When I spawn in, I'd immediately rush for a touchstone. It's versatile. I don't plan on fighting immediately, as you're simply at a disadvantage, so no need to - just going to waste time. That, as well as that you cannot take the risk. Touchstone gets you to safety, saves you from falls, and gives you access to all you could need. After touchstone I head to the purple gate and immediately pick up an FF orb, this way you won't have to worry about shadow sphere or Ghostwalker, or just people jumping you, for the most part. Head up the ramp for armour, and carefully get a Darkheart. TP immediately after getting a Darkheart. At this time, I might go for a medkit for a quick heal, but if not, then just straight to the Illumina platform. Illumina is just the best, simply put, (at least as I see it: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=194266767) and I'm also the best with it. It's a great sword with a crazy high skill ceiling, at least I'd say, and you can practically take out anything with it. So, after I get that, I'm fine for fighting. Now, assuming I'm going for Ghostwalker ######### instead, then I'd go for the Ghostwalker at this time, carefully FF orb my way, take it, TP back. How I'd get kills is just to not risk it with it being so weak in levels 1 and only take people that look like they are either: 1. lost 2. on mobile 3. new 4. distracted/fighting It's an easy kill with little risk. At level 9, barely anyone knows how to spot it (I was never sure why not - it's easy to see) so I generally try flying around looking for a lone guy, take them out, then TP back immediately. Safe, quick, and easy. This is, quite clearly, why I say it's long but high. You can do this for a LONG time, so long as you play it smart. Don't charge into people, NEVER fight Illumina, and you should be good. The way I ended one of my biggest streaks was by charging into a Darkheart... bad idea. Also, get a Windforce here, as well as an Illumina, just in case. If something happens (touchstone breaks) it's good to have a nice fighting sword (Illumina) until you cna get something else. Windforce is so that you can take out people coming down the Illumina ramps, as that's the only time I'd advise fighting Illumina. It's very "rinse and repeat" of a strategy, and little change for each sword. For Illumina, like I said, it's far more fun and quick. My average streak is normally around 200-300, and I normally use Illumina to get them. I'm usually at it within an hour, which I'd say is quite quick. Illumina is a great all around sword and I'd say can work as at least a soft counter to ANY sword in the game, which makes it a great sword for straight up fighting. I love to just sit in the centre and fight anyone that comes. It racks up crazy kills. Strategies mostly just go to each sword. Firebrand: Varies on how risky you want to be. Want to go straight for a kill? Charge. You won't need to do anything else - your damage should allow for a first hit, and hitting first with a 40 damage lunge is enough to do a good 1.000 damage INSTANTLY. Want to play it safe? Just wait until it looks like they are going to lunge, super jump on them. Either behind or infront of them, doesn't matter. Then; lunge. A lot like before, the damage will just destroy them and they won't stand a chance. It's harder, but still easy and quick. Really fun to pull off, too. Venomshank: Basically the same as above. Although, I'd recommend playing it safer, as the venom can be annoying. Would it score a kill? Likely not unless you're silly or happen to take a lot of damage, but could pressure you or take you out of the fight for some time. Ice Dagger: Best to just avoid, but if you want to fight it, just charge it. Ice dagger's damage is technically 0, so you should hit first, and that with the reach should take it out. Or, just swap to Firebrand - not worth the risk of using Illumina. Linked: EZPZ; charge or just go for an uppercut attack. Darkheart: A combo of all of the above, depending on how you want to do it//how risky you are feeling. I prefer a charge or uppercut, just because it's like a show of "even in a direct charge, Illumina still wins!" to the Darkheart user, but that's not the smartest play. It's best just to dance around them and then drop, slash them, and go away with whatever bo#####hey had, if any. Windforce: The most dangerous sword to fight as Illumina, easily. High damage and long lunge. Charging still works, but is risky. It's best to dance and dance until you have a good time, then just drop and kill. Not worth the risk of doing anything else imo. Ghostwalker: Again, EZPZ, even a lvl 9. Anything works: I like charges and twirl attacks just because it can be a bit annoying to deal with, so I want to make sure it's dead and out. Dancing is a bad idea normally, since it's always in the air, but can work if you are trying to take it out of the air. Illumina: Just outplay them. Hard to say how exactly to counter it. It's really risky, since whoever makes even the simplest of move dies. Not worth fighting it.

As well as just locking down the centre, I like to move around the map and just snatch up unsuspecting people. Just jump hard on them and they don't stand a chance, like with Ghostwalker. However, I'd argue it's easier, since Illumina's jump is much quicker than Ghostwalker's, so it takes less time. Now, unrelated to me, but just in general strategies? First, my basic SFing. I don't want to give away how exactly I do it (as I was never in clans or anything, just taught myself my own ways) I have a few types of slashes/lunges I like to do. First is a twirl, which is a lunge and then a 180 or 270 degrees spin. Does crazy damage. I can rack up 1,5k or so easily with Illumina doing this on test dummies, instantly. Second is that uppercut I mentioned. Mostly with Illumina and Ghostwalker, it's getting close up, then lunging and jumping. With those two swords you'll be able to take a bit less lunge damage from them, but in Illumina's case, also be able to do a lot as well. Works really well as an aggressive and safe play. Third, is a charge. It's best to charge while they are charging. You don't want to charge into them when they aren't because that initial/instant animation damage is the real killer. You want the steady, low damage of the already out-there lunge. So when they have been lunging for a little bit, turn and destroy them. Again, these are just three of many and a very basic look into it, but should help a lot. And, just as a little bit of an extra addition to both strategies: Never play the same. Never have a specific plan or idea to follow, I'd say. While I did have that one at the beginning, with the path, it's quick and won't mean much if you mess up and die. Not much will be lost. A lot will, however, if you die, say, 400 kills in. That way, people can't predict what you're doing and take you out. While most all won't bother, some will. For example, I recall one lad ######### at SFotH all the time around 2014, and in one server, they always did the same thing: they would launch out of the Illumina gate with Illumina and go straight to Darkheart area to teleport. Well, simply put, it was easy to counter, especially since they are frozen for a split second after teleporting. So, I kept a medkit out, right when the came, I dropped it, and then EZPZ they had no Illumina, no mobility, but I had both (which are my own - I didn't and cannot steal his). So, I just ended quite a long streak, and did that every time we were in the same server. Point is: be unpredictable. Make everyone fearful. Make it so that no one will know where you come from, no one will be able to react, of if they can and do, you have the ability to take them out anyway. That was my idea about it and what I always did. It worked great, since as I said, consistently st#########n 200-300 range with little time put in. Addressing the whole "fear" thing, this can be both good and bad. With Ghostwalker, bad. With Illumina, good. Illumina doesn't make you invisible, so it gives people the confidence of potentially being "the one" to end your streak, as they have you in their sights. It gets people to you, not away, and often you'll be able to take them with ease. With Ghostwalker, maybe less so. Since they can't see you, they instead will lose that confidence, and potentially just stay hidden for some time in the safezone until they see you, then repeat once you TP away. It just adds to the slow process of GW. Now, how exactly I would like to use each sword/tool in my loadout is something I'd like to go over. When Ghostwalker st##########y keybinds are ALWAYS: 1. Ghostwalker 2. Illumina 3. Windforce (used to be Shadow Sphere before it gave you the blue torso) 4. Touchstone 5. Darkheart 6. Firebrand (previously Windforce, before SS) 7. Forcefield Orb 8-0. Medkits (as well as a backpack full of them) For Illumina: 1. Illumina 2. Darkheart 3. Windforce (same as above and reason for) 4. Touchstone 5. Ghostwalker 6. Firebrand (again, same) 7. Forcefield Orb 8-0. Medkits (again, backpack full of). I always have the same loadout and keybinds and it makes for an easy, comfortable, familiar gameplay from the start of entering the server. For how I use each piece: Ghostwalker loadout: Ghostwalker is the main sword, of course. Not much more to say, specifics on Ghostwalker below. Illumina: For dueling if I need to, or standing my own. Revealing shadowspheres (although for the most part I just guess and with dead on accuracy, so I don't use it for that). Darkheart: Killing linked sword, taking out corpses to heal if I need to, countering venom, healing in spawn. Windforce: Killing Illuminas on the ramp Firebrand: Ice Dagger Medkits are self explanatory Illumina loaded: Illumina: Main sword, so everything. Movement, attacking, defence, utility; all given by Illumina, so little need to swap. Ghostwalker: For a jump boost (Illumina lunge jump into a Ghostwalker swap and pray it doesn't break, or just wait until the end of the ascension). Darkheart: Killing linked sword, taking out corpses to heal if I need to, countering venom, healing in spawn, AS WELL AS other Illuminas (although I only do this if I know I have the kill anyway - just as a safety precaution for an "afterlifer" as I call it - when they kill you after they die). Firebrand: Same as above; countering Ice Dagger Windforce: Linked sword, (sometimes) Darkheart, (rarely) and Illuminas, (oftenm, 50/50 with Darkheart) but ALWAYS when they are on the ramp coming down. Medkits again, self explanatory As for swords, I'm just going to copy and paste my list of swords and analysis/opinions of. It should help you choose which you like and that are best for you: So, favourites: 1. Illumina 2. Windforce 3. Ghostwalker 4. Darkheart 5. Firebrand 6. Venomshank 7. Ice Dagger My view on the best swords: 1. Illumina 2. Darkheart 3. Ghostwalker = Windforce (this is the one I am confused about and have been debating for over a year) 5. Firebrand 6. Venomshank 7. Ice Dagger So now, onto the actual bulk of this post and my discussion on this. I'm going to be going over each from the bottom of my "best" list to the top.
