## Strategies & Tips

### **As a Mad Bat**

* The Mad Bat has arrived to avenge its much weaker, non-mad brethren! Arguably the first animal of the list that can eat many things, the Mad Bat has a very wide array of prey, making it a particularly deadly creature.
* Given its non-playable prey list is comparatively narrow, it's advisable to adopt a much more aggressive play style. In crowded servers usually littered by Pigeons, it's easy to find something to bite on.
* Be especially careful with Pterodactyls - you're the best experience-yielding prey to them, which can lead to a particularly intense and long chase with them.
* If there are no Ghostly Reapers in the server (look in the leaderboards and know XP thresholds), you can hunt underground. You have an advantage because of your small size.
* At this stage, you may be tempted to have a Meat feast in the Ice Castle in the Arctic biome (or the underground Black Widow lair in the Jungle Biome), which can help you level up quickly. But before that, consider the following risks: (1) You need good control skill and low latency (lag) to effectively dodge the wandering Yeti (or Black Widow). (2) Keep an eye on the water level and be ready to get out for a refill early (or go to the water pool in the right part of the Widow's cave), because it may take a while to get out with the Yeti blocking your path (in the case of the Black Widow, the cobwebs must be taken into account too in order to avoid getting slowed down), and (3) you are at very high risks of being killed by the Demonic Bat, the Demonic Imp, the Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Ghostly Reaper (last one is too small to pass the entrance of the Black Widow's Jungle lair) once spotted in the Meat area, so be keep an eye on the Leaderboard and the surrounding areas (in the Widow's lair, keep a long distance from Demonic Imps, Dragons and Phoenixes and hope they don't spot you, however be still careful, if those animals start to follow your directions even when you seem to be too far from their range of vision, run immediately - they may be cheating by disabling the darkness. If there's a Demonic Bat, try to make it follow a path full of cobwebs in order to slow it down while you use the space in between cobwebs for a fast escape. In both possibilities, don't forget that there's only one exit there, so if the predator blocks the way, you can consider yourself dead).
* You can also hunt in the City Underground and the Sewage system, because the Evil Rats give lots of exp and you can use the Mice to heal up. But Demonic Imps, Dragons and Phoenixes will usually be there to look for a Mad Bat. If you want to hunt Evil Rats in the City underground, be careful as ambushes here are easy.
* The Pyramid is a good place to hunt too. It is close to the Jungle, where you'll need to be for your next evolution. Prey can easily find itself cornered and killed. Even if there's no prey, there's plenty of Cats and Snakes to eat.
	+ Just be careful of Demonic Bats (they have small hitbox, full vision underground, and can paralyze you, leaving you with no chance to escape) and Reapers (Their scythes have a range that can be used to attack prey at distance, and they can see in the dark. In that case, use your small size to get into a narrow corridor in order to escape).
	+ You can try to trap a Snowy Owl at the underground in the Arctic, as it is the most beneficial meal. You can also try to eat an Eagle who is hunting for Bats underground.

### **As the prey of a Mad Bat**

* There's only one thing to do - run! Pigeons hanging out close from one another might cause a bumping catastrophe upon the approach of a Mad Bat, with one inevitably getting swallowed by the predator - don't be the one! In cases like this, you may try to use this "bumping" to immediately change direction while avoiding hitting the Mad Bat - since they can't do fast turns while moving, it may give you enough distance from it to get it tired of chasing you.
* All of the Mad Bat's predators can also eat the Mad Bat's prey, making it more dangerous to try to rely on one to save yourself from a chase, but it can be attempted, and the predator will likely chase your attacker since they yield more XP.
	+ It's best to attract a Pterodactyl and fly away or hide in a bush or a cloud since Pterodactyls would likely consider Mad Bat as the best XP source and Pterodactyls also has a very large hitbox, allowing you to escape both predators in a tight space and ensure there are no other small predators down there.
	+ It's very risky to use a Phoenix to chase the Mad Bat since they will use their ability on both you and your predator.
		- If you want to do so, it's recommended to stay near a body of water.
			* It's more recommended that you must be a Duck, Pelican or a Seagull as their ability allow them to dive underwater and lose less oxygen, allowing you to escape both the Mad Bat and the Phoenix.
* Think twice before escaping the Mad Bat by heading up into Space - you will lose oxygen and die if you linger for too long. However, if one is careful enough, this can be used to kill the mammal, or at least shake them off course.
	+ However, if you're a Blue Bird, a Red Bird, a Blackbird or a Maroon Bird, you can use the swoop in space, so the Mad Bat loses track of you.
* If you're a Falcon or an Eagle, you can use your ability to escape the Mad Bat (turn the opposite side [beware to not bump into the Mad Bat!] and use right click or space).

### **As the predator of a Mad Bat**

* The Mad Bat will most likely be Underground. You can follow them if you have a small hitbox, but be careful if your vision is hampered. You can lose them and get ambushed yourself.
	+ Hanging around the mouth of caves at ground-level is a potential way of finding Mad Bats. Also, the Sewage Treatment Plant is an open-spaced area that is also a viable habitat for Mad Bats, though be cautious of the fact that it too can hinder the vision of some animals, and toxic water is present.
* The Demonic Bat can terrorize a Mad Bat; it's perfectly suited to eating one with its vision underground any tiny hitbox. One hit will paralyze it, giving you an easy, high-XP meal.
