My problem is with lerk that I use to lose my inerta while rampaging in marine base or else. etc. i fly straight to marine who stops me, or I bump in some corner and lose my inertia.

Main thing I think is that, that i tend to do turning somehow wrong and lose my inertia and speed going back. should i keep the angels low? or what Í think Im doing way to hard curves, and start floating in air without speed.

any help guys?

PS. focuslerk
or
rapidbite lerk?

Most people eventually grab focus for their lerks that I've seen. Focus lerk lets you swoop and kill weakened enemies. But it's not the most important upgrade for a lerk.

I assume you're using Combat to learn to play the lerk. What you ought to do is go lerk asap. Get two points and go lerk without any upgrades. This will teach you how to play lerk in Natural Selection a lot better.

A lot of the time, people run out of energy, and they can't fly. Even with the reduced energy cost for flying, this still happens I think. It's good to keep an eye on your energy. Always back off when you're at the bottom 1/3 or so of your energy.

Also, bumping into things will stop you. So if you crash into a marine to bite him, you're going to lose all your speed.

Instead, what you should try to do is bite the top of marine's heads. Fly higher up, then tilt down, and almost land on the marine's head, and bite him, then pull up. You should still be going pretty quick.

This is risky because if you fly straight at them, you're still easy to shoot at.

Basically, don't bump into things and don't run out of energy, and you should be flying fine. Lerk flight can be tough, but keep practicing I guess. Combat is your friend.

Hold down your jump key to glide.

Aim for teh sides, not the middle

The problem with crashing right into a marine is that you loose all your speed, so to avoid being gunned down once your at a full stop do this. Once you have bitten marine you fly striaght up, look at the cieling and press jump really fast then once you hit the cieling look at the ground and do the same. it's called pancaking and most people hate it cause you're incredibly hard to hit if done properly

yeah... it screws up the hitboxes....


I just use spore once or twice, usee celerity to get in there, and focus chew their armorless butt... if you bite JUST before you hit em, you'll go THROUGH them

I still don't understand how people lose their energy even now with 1/2 the energy cost. Learn to glide! Hold the jump key down...

in normal NS,in the rare case that sc is first,i always get SoF as a lerk,cloaking gives more of a sense of security,but with SoF you can hide in the best spots(places where they CANT see you,unless they have jp and laser vision) and since you dont have carapace to take 2 more bullets,or celerity to matrix it all,you need to know when theres abunch,when theres just 1 or 2,and you can spore incoming rines more easily..focus is nice,but i tend to kill HA's better when i can do the more dmg over time

but about flight,normall i flap twice,then glide,if im in rine base,i tend to mash on the spacebar when im flying away,the more drunk your lerk flies,the harder he is to hit.Unless his flying on the floor
