How to play with Amphora in Rocket Arena

Every multiplayer game aims to have a balance between their cast of characters. Overall Rocket Arena does this pretty well. No character is grossly undernourished, and small teams keep the pace from getting out of hand. Nonetheless, Amphora is an absolute beast. There's a reason you see her so often in matches and while it can be a nightmare to get caught in her water cyclone, it's pretty fun being the one inflicting the pain.

Amphora Aquatic Arsenal

Amphora is quick and has a good jump but she's a heavy hitter from start to finish. She has some of the best attacks in the game, so if you're playing like her, you'll want to get out there and tear up a storm as quickly as possible. She struggles a bit in the levels with a lot of verticality, but if she has enough space around her, she can destroy entire teams in no time.

• Torpedo loaded
  • Amphora main rocket. Regularly firing this rocket can do decent chip damage and its range, speed, and accuracy are good, but reloading it is where it really excels. It only takes about two seconds to charge and it sets off a much larger explosion that's hard to miss. It packs an even bigger punch and really flies. You're going to want to charge this attack at all times and be prepared to go wild whenever you see an opponent.
  • You also never have to worry about reloading. The loaded torpedo has unlimited ammo.
• Hydro Form
  • Amphora's special ability. It's terrible to be at the end of this attack, but using it is both easy and enjoyable. Activating Amphora's Hydro Form turns it into a puddle shaped like a stingray. Press the special ability button again to summon a giant cyclone that shoots enemies (and you) into the air.
  • In Hydro Form, you move even faster, so you can easily find yourself in the middle of a group of opponents or stalk someone very quickly before setting off the cyclone.
  • Not only does the Cyclone do a lot of damage, it also disorients opponents and gives you time and positioning to then unleash a few more attacks. When used smartly, Hydro Form can really wreak havoc.
  • The only downside to Hydro Form is that if you miss with your water cyclone, it leaves you in a position near the top of the arena, which could leave you open to get knocked out. Still, it's pretty hard to miss with the water cyclone.
• Inflatable mines.
  • Amphora's secondary ability. They may look cute, but they can be devastating in their own right. Using Amphora's secondary ability throws three of the bouncing mines that will quickly retract and detonate into the nearest opponent. Combine them with a few other attacks and you can easily finish off your opponents.

Strategies for Knockout / RocketBot Attack

Amphora is a powerful offensive player and can decimate entire teams in this mode. She is always a good choice and should go out and clean the house. A well-used Amphora can carry an entire team.

Strategies for Rocketball

In a slightly more nuanced game like rocketball, you might think the amphora is less useful. You would be very wrong. There is one strategy you need when playing as Amphora in Rocketball: From the start of the match, access the ball and step into Hydro Form. Everyone has a tendency to come in and scuffle the ball early in the game, so if you can get in there and trigger a cyclone, you can give your other teammates the opportunity to carry the ball and score a goal quickly. . Other than that, use Amhpora to drive your opponents crazy and let the rest of your team take the ball away.

Strategies for Mega Rocket

Just like in rocketball, people tend to pile on top of each other quite quickly in this mode. Enter a crowd in your Hydro Form and eliminate your enemies. Just make sure you don't propel yourself into a position where you'll be easily knocked down. The winner in the mega rocket tends to be the team that can keep themselves alive.

Treasure hunting strategies

Unsurprisingly, Amphora can excel at treasure hunting just as easily as any other mode. But you're going to want to spend most of your time putting yourself in your opponents' shoes. None of Amphora's best abilities really help holding the treasure chest or hanging coins, so spend your time washing up your opponents and let the rest of your team take care of the busy work.

All in all, Amphora is one of the most powerful characters in the game. She's quick but hits like a truck. You can't go wrong with her when it comes to the million donnybrooks you'll find in the crater.
