## Strategies & Tips

### As a Duck

* It eats the same food as the Pigeon with the addition of Fish. Use this to your advantage.
* The Duck received a boost in the 13/06/2018 update. It is now one of three animals that can stay underwater for far extended periods of time (without counting the Ghost which can stay theoretically forever under anything), and has a fast swim speed, with the Seagull and Pelican being the others. This allows it to stick to water fields reliably and eat its way towards Blue Bird without having to worry about its water level. Ducks may have to face competition with other Ducks, Storks, Seagulls or Pelicans for food, but there are usually plenty of water areas around, so it's usually easy to find one with fish inside - except if the Server is *really* crowded.
* As a result, it is preferable to head towards any of the oceans for plenty of fish - but beware of Sharks (and a Reaper nearby)!
* Don't stay underground, your larger hitbox means it's easier to become trapped down there.
* You can also use the same strategy as the Pigeon, sticking around the City biome or gobbling up Worms.
* When escaping from predators, there are some things to note:
	+ 1- Again, you have lots of predators. However, the Wasp, the Hornet and the Maroon Bird cannot eat it, the only difference in the predator list in comparision to the Pigeon.
		- 1.5- While you cannot get to all caves the Pigeon can, you have your advantage due to your ability. You can escape attacks in shallow lakes with your higher speed, cannot get trapped easily due to your speed (Duck, Pelican and Seagull's speed in water = everyone's speed in Air [not in Space]) and can dive deep into the Ocean.

### As the predator of a Duck

* Given that a Duck will be usually targeting Fish, it can be a good idea to sit on top of an underwater duck to inflict severe damage as a predator. This only applies if the avian is in shallow water.
	+ Just be careful, because it can swim away faster than you can.
* If a Duck has chosen to farm underground, you can try to trap it down there. However, this is not likely because it can eat Fish.
* Because the only animals the Duck cannot get eaten (in comparision to the Pigeon) is the Wasp, the Hornet and the Maroon Bird, the same strategy as before applies to the Duck for the Pterodactyl, the Demonic Imp, the Swamp Monster, the Mad / Demonic Bat and the animals that can enter the Black Widow's Jungle lair (specially the Phoenix).
	+ However, the Duck cannot enter vertically narrow caves (the ones with 1 horizontal block), making the job of a Demonic Imp easier, as well as the Demonic Bat's (the Pigeon could still enter the vertically narrow cave by going moving from the sides [the Demonic Bat's ability *does not* stop a prey's horizontal movement] if it wasn't killed in time).

## Trivia

* It is the first animal with a hitbox that is 2 blocks by 1 block. This restricts its movement underground slightly.
* It is one of the three animals besides the Pelican and the Seagull that have increased speed and less oxygen loss in the water.
* It is the first animal with a hidden skill.
* The Duck is one of the few animals in EvoWorld.io that also appears in Mope.io, a similar .io game (it is not playable in mope.io).
