Genius Tricks & Strategy

Hello, this page was created to help those fellow players who are struggling with things like scoring and circling.

***Basic Tips* - When surviving in the arena, try to keep in mind how thick/thin your skin is. This is a huge part when surviving; the skin can affect turning angle and whether you survive when you touch a little too close to your enemy's skin.**

**Thin skin** - - Pro: Usually good for aggressive playing because your prey only needs to touch a bit of it to die. - Con: Larger turning angle. - Con: Its easier to die; your head is very sensitive to other people's skin.

**Thick skin** - - Pro: Hard for people to kill you since your turning *angle* **(Your turning *area* is the same no matter what, the skin change just the way you react to it. The area of you turning using a snake around 100k+ tons is always about 1 entire hexagon indent in the arena floor.)** is smaller; you can turn where they least expect it. - Pro: Since your head is less sensitive, you might get away with squeezing through a tight space or pressing very tight against another snake. - Con: Other players will need to touch quite a bit of your skin to die. You might self suicide into that player **(or bot)** thinking it was transformed already into mass.

**Head Bop Trick**

If you're like me, you would rather take the risk of dying then trying a slower but safer way like strangling. I commonly use this head bop strategy against bots. You speed up to them, and make a sideways u so the bots head gets hooked into the U like this -> ("-" is bot head, ">" is your body).

**Racing Trick #1**

*Simple but Effective -* **(Only use this trick if you are absolutely sure that you're going to win or is in a tie.)** When in a very close race, many beginners often try to to cut at a bulky angle. If you are like me, you know these "moves" often end up with the player himself/herself doing the cutting dying very quickly. The trick is to ever so slightly curve towards the other snake until he/she dies. This slight cutting is harder for the other snake to notice plus, this way is extremely efficient in terms of speed and position meaning you'll be going at steady pace while cutting.

**Racing Trick #2**

*Choosing the right weapon -* The skins in Little Big Snake have a variety of different length which this is going to focus on, more specifically, the head length. You're probably wondering what do that have to do with racing. Well, the shorter your head, the higher chance your going to win in the race **(unless the other one has an even shorter one)** . If your snake head is short, it means that a teeny-tiny part of your snake's front face is invisible. Yes, you read that correctly. The foe is going to think that the microscopic invisible part of your snake's head is just empty space. Little do they know that's part of your snake's head which you'll destroy them in racing. Here's the top ten best snakes **(my opinion)** for racing.

1. Insectoid (Legendary) or Spider (Common)
2. Forest Mage (V.I.P. skin)
3. Jade Dragon (Rare)
4. Liquid Snake (Common)
5. Shinobi San (depicted as a ninja) - (Rare)
6. Forest Snake (Common)
7. Teacup (Common)
8. Centipede (Common)
9. Super-Brain (Legendary)
10. Sunbeam Snake (Common)

***EXTREMELY IMPORTANT*** -

Instead of using a rectangular view, do split screen, then, drag your window until it covers 4/4 of the way left. This way, you can see way more in the map and without worrying if someone is going to kill you by surprise. This strategy works most efficiently on PC.

***More Important Facts:*** (Updated in late March 2022)

When trying to high-score, there is 3 different ways of doing this: (not including self-circling)

-Farming, or feeding is when different teams or snake crash into each other on purpose. A common way to do this is by having one team (lets call it team 1) doing a large circle (the bigger the better) around the one snake getting fed. That one snake would curl up into a tight loop and members of team 1 would get big and crash into it, essentially feeding it. This strategy works quite efficiently thanks to the 2nd life you can use. You can read more about this in the feeding page of this amazing fandom.

-Aggressive Hunting or Team Hunting also works. This is typically the most common type of playstyle. You kill as much players as you can while staying alive. The teaming aspect of this is that your teammates kill and gather mass for you but the team is always on the move. The chance of dying can increase if you are doing it solo which is by yourself.

-The "Lone Wolf" is when you get big and run in circles around the map. You do it solo and you can be aggressive or defensive depending on circumstances. It is advised that you equip the legendary pet Atomic for the extra speed bonus. I find this strategy the safest but it can get boring in a dead server over time. Going to the dungeon is up to you; gathers mass much quicker but opens up more potential to die. (I got 2.2 mil using this.)

(REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS EDIT THIS AND ADD STRATEGIES THAT WASN'T IN HERE ALREADY)

***Updated May 2022-***

A few more tips - Knowing which server is best for you is important when high-scoring. Just pick 3+ different servers to play that doesn't impact your play style. - When pursuing another snake, keep a close eye out for danger, especially tricks they can use to lure you to death. It is easy to not get squashed by them near a rock or other objects, but bots are the most dangerous. Many people ONLY look at snake they're chasing, not realizing bots are secretly blocking them, and then *SLAP,* some sneaky bot called Piggy or Takeshi has sent you to an early grave. - Pets: Players without fancy maxed-out legendaries has less advantages against those that has them. But no need to worry, a few non-legendary pets can enhance your performance. One I like especially is the lightning one, the one that increases your energy recoverment. This can be a great perk if you are getting chased by other snakes. (Atomic is better if there are a few snakes chasing you).

(Also don't forget to use all the boosts. Glutton, All-see-ing and the energy boost are the most important ones.)
