Subspace: Difference between revisions

'''Subspace''' is a support [[Phighters|Phighter]] that specializes in area denial by applying vulnerability, and poison and allowing him to set up traps with his {{Abilitylink|SubspacePrimary}}. He can also levitate enemies using {{Abilitylink|SubspaceSecondary}}, causing disruption and making them easy targets for {{Abilitylink|SubspacePrimary}}. {{Abilitylink|SubspaceQ}} can be used for mid-fight damage advantage, granting heavy vulnerability to those struck by it. {{Abilitylink|SubspaceE}} turns Subspace invisible and grants a haste buff, allowing him to reposition quickly. His Phinisher, {{Abilitylink|SubspacePhinisher}} is a powerful ability which creates a vacuum that pulls nearby enemies in, capable of winning group fights and granting his team a significant advantage if it is able tocan hit multiple players.

Subspace is a support Phighter who specializes in weakening the enemy team by applying poison and vulnerability. Left unchecked, Subspace can allow teammates to win fights faster and easier and can act as a good counter to solo healers. He has an HP/Shield split of 175/0 meaning any damage he takes can't be recovered without a healer. This and the fact that he can damage himself means Subspace requires teammates to control the frontline if he wants to play aggressiveaggressively.

Due to the nature of Subspace's Tripmines, he can play many different playstyles to support his team, and he can switch between them throughout the round. His Tripmines can be used as a trap (maximum of 5) if placed on the ground or can be used to hit the enemy directly. His directs have less poison damage and vulnerability but are fully dependent on the Subspace's aim. His traps have more damage and vulnerability, but are less consistent and can be baited by the enemies. Placing many traps in one spot, if triggered, can deal massive amounts of damage and vulnerability, leaving the victim with littlefew options besides running away. Learning when to prioritize directs or traps is key to understanding how to play Subspace well and changes very often within a game. As a rule of thumb;

** Applying a constant flow of vulnerability on a single enemy (Can be used to support a melee whoteammate that is focusing their attention on a single target).

** Conquer maps with that have medium toor small points ([[Nuke The Whales]], [[The Iron Cafe]]).

'''Despite these situations favoringfavouring directs or traps, do <u>not</u> completely stick to one playstyle and swap according to the situation.'''

Subspace's CometFallen CarnageStar is a great defensive ability withand has great combo potential. Try using your Fallen Star often as its damagecooldown andis vulnerabilityextremely low compared to Subspace's other abilities and shouldits bepotential usedis wheneververy good if you're haveable to hit it consistently. You can also slow down targets or force them into dangerous situations with the combination of a teammate's [[Phinisher]] ([[Katana|Katana's]] Phinisher being a great example.) Subspace's Comet Carnage is an extremely strong ability, whether you hit it directly or not. It can shred tanks by applying immense amounts of vuln on them and making them too slow to fight back. Comet Carnage also guarantees a section of the map that is now in your control, and teammates (especially slow teammates such as [[Hyperlaser]] or [[Vine Staff]] can use this space to keep themselves safe or force melees into an area where they end up in a very bad spot even if they kill the target. Subspace's Mist Rush while very strong, should not be used often due to its high cooldown; try using your Fallen Star instead of your Mist Rush wherever possible. Subspace's Noxious Void is one of the strongest [[Phinisher|Phinishers]] in the game and can turn the tide of battle when used correctly. As soon as you activate your Phinisher, you are the biggest target on your team. The enemy team will try killing you to end the Phinisher early and free themselves or their teammates. Make sure to activate your Phinisher when you have a large amount of HP, and make sure that when your ult is active, you don't stay still or else any ranged Phighters can attack you and end your Phinisher before it gets the maximum value. Try keeping track of other Phinishers that can shut down your Phinisher, and try to use your Phinisher after they've used theirs.

For teammates playing with a Subspace, having a strong frontline can help the Subspace directly support his team and become a major threat to the enemies. This will allow him to spread his damage out and add vulnerability to many Phighters. Subspace is great at adding vulnerability and poison directly onto his melee's targets, helping them speed through their kills. Melees such as [[Sword]] and [[Katana]] are very favorablefavourable due to their bulk, allowing them to soak more damage that would otherwise be dealt onto the Subspace. Subspace's Phinisher has extremely high combo potential with other Phinishers ([[Hyperlaser]], [[Sword]], [[Slingshot]], etc.) or other Phighters M1's/abilities ([[Katana]], [[Rocket]], [[Hyperlaser]]).

Subspace is effective in closed-in and small maps, such as [[Nuke The Whales]], [[Rob The ROBLOX Bank]], and [[ROBLOX HQ]]. [[Conquer]] is an exceptional game mode for Subspace, as it allows him to spread his damage easily through his splash damage and his Comet Carnage and Noxious Void have higher potential for great value.

All-in-all, Subspace's high supportive potential and great Phinisher can make him a very strong Phighter in the right hands. His open- endedness in his abilities due to their simplicity creates a large number of playstyles and it is recommended to find a playstyle that works well for you.

**Place Tripmines around the map, as Subspace is an an area denial Phighter, but to also provoke Vulnerable and poison to unsuspecting enemies.

** Decide when to utilize direct hits and traps. Sticking to one playstyle is ineffective due to how often the battlefield changes. When Subspace is directly in danger, (ex. A player is chasing you) using directs is a lot more effective due to their consistent damage output. Directs can also be used to rack up vulnerability consistently. This can help your teammates win duels or help your team pick off supports. Directs can also be used on high -mobility targets or anything in the air. Traps should be laid either at the beginning of the round for early map control and damage or should be laid when you aren't being attacked/attacking someone. Traps can also be laid on allies who tend to stay in one place to punish divers such as [[Sword]] or [[Biograft]].

**Fallen Star can be used for vertical mobility, however, it should only be used when there is no immediate threat due to the damage and vulnerability. The vertical mobility also allows for Subspace to use Fallen Star on himself to avoid certain Phinishers ([[Katana]], [[Boombox]]).

**Comet Carnage can be used to dealapply massiveconstant damagevulnerability in an fight, andor to inflicthold 25% Vulnerable tomap enemiescontrol.

**Comet Carnage can be used to hit players through thin walls/floors however due to its high cooldown it is not recommended unless it is being used to confirm a kill.

Subspace is a very good Phighter when he's using his abilities well and timing his shots. He can be easily countered by being rushed down by virtually any Phighter with consistent damage. The player can retreat to remove the Vulnerable debuff if multiple stacks are applied onto them. It is also suggested to start an engagement with an enemy Subspace if either {{Abilitylink|SubspaceQ}} or {{Abilitylink|SubspaceSecondary}} has been used as these are {{PAGENAME}}'s defensive abilities. It should also be noted that in Noxious Void, Phinishers can still be casted and used, so a [[Medkit]] or [[Boombox]] can use them to protect their team. [[Medkit]] in particular can use {{Abilitylink|MedkitPhinisher}} to revive dead players after {{Abilitylink|SubspacePhinisher}}, nullifying any advantage obtained by the Phinisher.
