Anti-sniping is essential in small wars. I am actually surprised we don't have designated anti-snipers, you need them to allow smooth piles and easy binds for your binders.

Objectives of anti-sniping:
  • To waste a sniper's pray
  • To waste a sniper's food
  • To get inside a sniper's mind + make him not perform well
  • Allow an easy transition pile for your clan
In the collision fight, we only had 2 snipers on us. This is very very manageable with 4 anti snipers. Primarily, anti snipers should be melee, but 1-2 rangers would also suffice given an excess of rangers on the main pile.

As soon as a sniper comes near the pile, as an anti-sniper you need to attack him. It does not matter if you're close to a ko, they need to constantly have at least 1 person on them. If they run off from the main pile, leave them, unless they're close to being ko'd.

To get an anti-sniper to not perform well, you need to talk a bit in game. Although some of you may frown upon trash talking, essentially that 1 sniper is doing a ton of damage to your binders, and you need to make him feel like he's not doing his job. This sounds bad, I know, but it honestly works.

"At least you ain't sniping"
"Nice pray wasting on 1 person"
"When you're hitting me, at least we can bind"
"U mad?"
"Hands up if mad"

Are common things I say when snipers turn around + hit me in full rune and have their pray up. It gets inside their heads, and a direct example of how useful this proves is shown during the war, in those periods where we didn't have any snipers on us. How easy is it to not worry about binds when those snipers aren't actually doing their job?

Also, in a pkri, if you waste that snipers pray, using 1 person, that makes for a very very quick ko when they try and tank without pray. After they are dead, the chance of them coming back are less and less each time, because you've gotten inside their mind + made them feel like a helpless sniper.

Please have designated anti snipers during the next war.

It's good but it takes KO power away from our main pile. If the Fall-in leaders piled snipers more often instead of rushing their pile everytime it's more efficient, because it gives our binders more leniency and it gives us easier transitions.

You get hit, you put on rune, you attack back for about 5 hits, you run back to main pile and that's that.
