Rocket League: tips for flying
Flying is not just a nice gimmick in Rocket League, but an important technique and sometimes even decides between victory and defeat. We give you important tips that can help you fly.
Grab the bag of tricks: learn to fly in Rocket League
- Beginners should familiarize themselves with flying in free play. There you have endless boost and can use it to train, for example, to fly from one gate to another without touching the ground.
- If you want to learn the technique, go through the training modes. To start with, the jump training in the professional difficulty is very helpful. Do not try to hit all balls in the first attempt, but start a challenge again and again until you are reasonably certain that you will hit the ball in the game.
- After mastering the professional mode, test your skills in the right game. Try to fly as often as possible and don't get angry if you don't hit the ball. With a little practice that will work.
- Advanced users can try the Allstar mode directly. The ball is much higher in the air and harder to hit.
Tips and tricks for flying in Rocket League
- The basic requirement for flying is the boost. Make sure that your boost bar never falls below 20, otherwise you will not be able to react in critical situations.
- If you fly, you can still roll forward in the air and shoot the ball away. This role can also be carried out with a time delay. So you can fly for a few seconds and only then use the reel.
- In defense, you should use the role of shooting when flying. This is how you push the ball forward with a lot of force.
- In attack and especially in front of the opposing goal, it is more helpful to hit the ball with the bottom of the car. A steady shot is usually not necessary and if you are in the air for a longer time you cannot rely on the forward roll. You also have a larger area with the bottom of the car to hit the ball.
- After you have flown, it is also important to get up properly. Use the stick to turn your car both vertically and horizontally (by default on the drift button).
- Also, you should only fly if you are absolutely sure of hitting the ball. Otherwise, they will be absent for a long time and risk conceding goals.
