Do you love playing soccer or football as they say in some countries? Do you dream of being the next star of your local football team? If you answered yes chances are that you’re going to like the game Deckball. This guide is designed to aid you when playing the game and give you some tips to getting your very own deckball trophy.
To start any game you need to load it up. Deckball is located in the Action section of the games room or you can just go to: http://www.neopets.com/games/deckball.phtml. In order to score any points you need to play in 1 player mode therefore you must play as the Pawkeet and you verse the Mirgle
In Deckball there are 3 different difficulty levels and 3 different modes. Only the hardest difficulty level will get you points. The first difficulty is called “Swabby” This is the easiest of the 3 difficulties. You the Pawkeet seem to go faster and the Mirgle seems to go a bit slower. This mode DOES not earn you points so there is really no reason to play it unless you just want to have fun or practice. Neopets is not all about making neopoints you need to have fun as well. The second difficulty is ” First mate” as you probably expected it’s harder than Swabby . You seem to go about the same speed as the Mirgle but I do find that the Mirgle does have the ability to speed up and become faster than you. The third difficulty is “Captian” in this difficulty the Mirgle is smarter but you just need to outsmart him and he seems to be a bit faster.
Now you’ve been taught all there is to know about the difficulty levels it’s time to educate you about the 3 different modes in Deckball. The third mode is point’s mode. In points mode you are rewarded points depending on how fast you win, that is if you win. If you win in under 360 seconds you are rewarded 50 points and that is equivalent to 150 neopoints. If you win in over 360 seconds you get nothing. If you lose in less than 360 seconds you get nothing. If you lose in over 360 seconds you get nothing. Secondly there is a mode called “Survival” In this mode you try and score as many goals as you can without the Mirgle scoring. For every goal you score you get 20 points for it. When the Mirgle scores its game over. You can only get a maximum of 200 points in survival mode so once you have score 10 goals there is really no point in playing anymore unless you just want to have fun because you won’t get anymore points for it. The second mode is timed mode. In timed mode you have 3 minutes to score as many goals as possible. For every goal you score you get 20 points and you can earn a maximum of 1000 points therefore you can score 50 goals before there is no point in playing any more however you need to have scored more goals than the Mirgle to get your points. For example if the Mirgle wins 3-2 you will get 0 points but if you win 3-2 you will get 60 points. Now you know how each mode works its time to teach you some strategies to assist you in getting maximum points in each mode.
These strategies are based on the fact that you decided to play in the hardest difficulty because that is the only difficulty that will earn you points. Points Mode: This mode is so easy that you don’t really need a strategy. It’s not the end of the world if the Mirgle manages to score a goal as long as he doesn’t score 5 goals so you don’t really need to defend your goal. 6 minutes to score 5 goals is easy so I recommend you just attack and try to get that ball in the goal. Survival mode: The best thing to do is to defend as much as possible because as soon as the Mirgle scores its game over. If you can defend eventually you will hit the ball and somehow it will go into the goal and you will get points. Timed Mode: You are against time in this mode. I recommend that as soon as the ball is released you sprint up aim for the goal and shoot. At first it may be difficult to get your aim perfect but practice makes perfect. If the Mirgle gets the ball just let the Mirgle shoot so you can start again so you don’t waste time.
On the first of the month when the scores are reset it’s possible to get silver or bronze with 200 points so if you can get 200 points on survival you have a chance to get a trophy on the first 1 or 2 days of the new month but every other day you will need over 200 points so you will need to be able to get over 200 points and to do that you will need to play timed mode.
In Deckball there are some bonus items that appear. They are not all good The anchor- When you collect this it makes you slow down you don’t really want this because you need to be fast to move from one place to another. The Cream: When you collect this it makes you go fast. Its good to go fast so you can get from one place to another but it’s not good when you can’t keep control of you’re self The Blocker: This is a piece of wood that will appear at one of the goals. It might be your goal but it might be the Mirgle’s goal. This can be good if its facing down the right end so it can re-bound and it might go into your goal The Mover: This looks like the blocker but it’s black. If it appears down the end your defending and the goal that the Mirgle is aiming for try to get the ball go down because then it will be transported into the middle and it will head towards the goal you’re aiming for. If it goes down the goal your aiming for it will come up and head towards the Mirgles goal. If you use this power up well it can be a big help.
