Basic Mayhem Techniques
First, methods to reduce enemy supplies include capturing bases and destroying explosives in the enemy supply depot
The power of explosives is approximately 1/8 of the total supply health, meaning after destroying 4 explosives, you can reduce enemy supplies by half, bringing victory within reach.
Capturing a base doesn't mean just taking it - you must maintain the base under your control for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, the base explodes and can reduce enemy supplies slightly, about 1/32 of total health. If the base changes hands within 2 minutes, all previous efforts are wasted, equivalent to capturing the base for nothing.
Don't underestimate the small amount of damage each base deals - bases are numerous, and with good base control, you can still win even if you give up on supplies.
Division of roles on the Mayhem battlefield is basically three types
Own supply defense (2-3 people), enemy supply offense (2-3 people), and base control
Then you can choose suitable weapons based on your own quest
Team members attacking the supply depot can choose weapons like the 05320 multi-section whip with Revival Talisman Water or the 05004 armor sword, using high destructive power to destroy the explosives in the enemy supply depot as quickly as possible. If you finish destroying the explosives early, you can find a high tower base to help your faction better control bases.
Those defending the supply depot can choose the swallow fan, combined with dominating weapons like iron whips, to clear out all attacking enemies as much as possible.
Base control personnel can generally choose weapons like Qilin Fang, twin whips, battle axes, etc., and try to keep bases under their control after capturing them.
Generally speaking, the two central bases are the most fiercely contested areas, so you should form a small squad of 2-3 people to act together, choosing weapons that can complement each other.
Corner bases are generally overlooked, send scattered soldiers to capture the base then return to support the center, and go back when there's a situation.
The most important base is the one closest to the supply depot.
Those who attack the supply depot will inevitably face powerful enemy attacks, making casualties unavoidable.
Capture the nearest base and keep it under your faction's control, allowing your faction's supply depot team members to quickly re-enter battle after death.
The same principle applies to the base nearest to your own supply depot - as long as base control personnel keep that base under their control, it greatly reduces pressure on supply depot defenders, forcing enemy supply attackers to make long journeys back to the combat area after death, consuming considerable time. Remember, the Mayhem map is extremely large.
