Game Plan by Phase

• Early (0:30): Don't overcommit. Poke, charge super, control the midfield
• Mid (0:30 - 1:00): If you have super advantage, push aggressively. If not, fall back
• Overtime (1:00+): THIS is when you score. Wait for one enemy to overextend, kill them, then 3v2 push

Brawl Ball Tips
- Never kick the ball directly at the goal -- always pass or dribble
- Use walls: kick at 45-degree angles off walls to bypass defenders
- Score at 0:01 in overtime (game ends after goal)
- If you're last alive, don't score -- run clock instead
- Super kick: activate your super THEN kick the ball for a 2-in-1

META shift: Cordelius is dominating because his super can remove the ball carrier from the objective. If you don't have Cordelius, ban him. For F2P players, Kenji is a great substitute -- he's available in the Starr Road and plays similarly with his dash-and-slash kit.
