Bonkio Football: Player Types

## Intro

There are many types of players who play the Football mode on Bonk.io. Some players specialise in playing in different positions for example, or to which skills they are best at. This is a list of Player Types.

### Rocketeer

A Rocketeer specialises in performing different types of rocket tricks. They usually play near walls when in position to do mainly rockets or sometimes lifts. Beware of these players as they can easily score if you have an open goal. TLJXEDO, Hippophobia, anxiety and MaxSt are famous players who are good at different types of rockets. Different rockets which they perform include: Power Rocket, Power Pass Rocket, Different Timed Delayed Rockets, Curved Rocket, Corner Rocket, Reversed Rocket, Full Frontal Rocket and Pinch Rocket.

### Position Master

A Position Master is a player who specialises in careful and effective position. They know the game-mode and game-play extremely well, and play at a world class level. They are very reactive to the opponents moves and skills. They are usually suited and excel at the 1v1 mode, but also perform well in a 2v2 match with a pro teammate. An example of this position is the well-known player famous\_dex 0. He is considered to be the greatest football player of all time by many players. He specialises in a 1v1 match but is also good in a 2v2 match, if his teammate is also a world class pro. TLJXEDO is another player who has careful positioning and is reactive to the other player's movements.

### Postman

Contrary to the name a postman in Bonk.io is not a person who collects and delivers mail, but a player who usually performs tricks with posts to outsmart you. When they are near posts, keep your distance as you can easily be outperformed. Tricks which they specialise in include a Post Rocket, and also other post tricks in order to get past their opponent.

### Wrapper

Wrappers usually spin around the ball, trying to make you move out of their way so that they could score. This play-style gives the player a good position at aiming with different angles. It is suggested that you face them head on when they are spinning instead of staying back, this is due to the fact that they will have more time which equals to you having a larger chance of being tricked. They spin around the ball to create accurate angles in order to shoot or pass while controlling the ball. They are very good at this and are hard to play against. An example of a spinner is famous\_dex 0.

### Goalkeeper

A Goalkeeper is a player in which their skills is suited to defending the goal in a 2v2 match, or even 3v3 match. They play well defending their goal in a 1v1, however find attacking and performing tricks harder. They can be trained in a 1 to 1 match to test their goalkeeping skills and positioning. An example of a Goalkeeper is xPunir.

### Defender

A Defender usually defends, hence the name. In 1v1s they will have to attack but they do it in their own unique way. When attacking a defender will primarily stay back so that if the opposing player manages to do a trick in the corner or anywhere else they will not have to run back to get the ball if a rocket occurs; they will have a smaller chance of being outsmarted. While defending they will try to score from a long range. They usually have GK skills as well

### Midfielder

A Midfielder is pretty much an all-rounder player who can defend well and also attack. They are great to have as a teammate in a 2v2 or 3v3.

### Striker

A Striker or attacker is a hybrid of a Finisher and Sniper. It is also the opposite of a defender. They usually charge in with full force even when the opposing side is preparing to do a trick. This can lead to: (A) The attacker successfully tackling before the trick can happen or (B) They get absolutely outclassed and will usually be forced to run back if it is not too late. While defending, an attacker will try to get the ball off the enemy side and take it for themselves. Their defending is their weak side of performing on the pitch.

### Trickster

A Trickster is a hybrid of a postman and a rocketeer. A trickster will usually rocket, lift or use any other means to outsmart the opponent. You should be prepared for them to attack at any moment if going against one. They usually perform fake shots to confuse the opponent. Examples of this type of player would be NirvenusCH, anxiety and TLJXEDO. They are well known for outplaying many players with various techniques and are considered to be two of the best tricksters ever in Bonk Football, believed by many players.

### Finisher

A Finisher is a hybrid of striker and trickster who specialises in shooting accurately towards the goal at different angles to score a goal. They usually set themselves up with skill, and outplaying the opponent in the process. famous\_dex 0 is a great example of careful positioning and scoring whenever there is a chance to.

### Sniper

A sniper is related to a Bonk Football player because both are very precise with their kicking aim. They are accurate with their rocket placement. When a Sniper shoots, they usually hit it on target which means that the opponent of a Sniper needs to beware when given the chance a Sniper will score or pass accurately. With passing, they are accurate at passing to their teammate with a single hit, and are also good at passing via a rocket.

### Wall Expert

A Wall Expert plays well when it comes to playing against one of the walls. They can do various tricks from lifts to rockets successfully. Another thing which they are pro at, is bouncing the ball of the wall multiple times. They can also attempt to bounce the ball between you and the gap from the wall. The ball bounces of during this process, or it is blocked; in some instances the ball can go through just barely and the opposite side ends up doing an own goal. This tactic can be very effective in 2v2s when passing.

### Tactician

A Tactician or strategist, will plan out each attack usually playing slowly. Their play-style is slow and well thought out. Tacticians vary in play-style and each are unique in choices and play-style. A tactician best plays in team games as a midfielder as they can choose where to go and can use their teammates to their advantage. To counter a tactician, play their own game and outwit them; aggressiveness is never good against a tactician.

### Lifter

A Lifter specialises in the lift move, and will perform this accurately to try to out-skill you. They usually are good at using lifts in a 2v2 situation in order to pass to their teammate. They can perform different lifts which include: Vertical Lift, Horizontal Lift, Single Tap Lift and Different Corner Lifts.

### Dribbler

A Dribbler is a player who can commonly dribble in matches. These dribbles can be to prepare themselves up for a Single Tap Lift to get passed the opponent or set themselves up for a shot, or a Full Frontal Rocket to shoot or pass. These moves are used to skill out the opponent. Dribbling can occur on the horizontal or vertical wall and if a player is a pro dribbler, then they can do this from one side of the pitch to the other.

### Corner Strategist

A Corner Strategist is a player who specializes when being in one of the 4 corners of the Bonk Pitch. They know what moves to do to try to outsmart their opponent, and know which wall to kick of or even use both walls next to the corner. The different tricks which hey can do in the corner include different lifts and rockets, and also using both walls in the corner at different angles to get around the opponent.

### Passer

As the name suggests, a passer is a player who is very good at passing. They are suited to the 2v2 mode. They accurately pass to their teammate whether it be through a direct pass or through a rocket down the line, a general rocket which passes to their teammate or a direct pass with one kick.

### All-Rounder

An All-Rounder as the name suggests brings a complete package to a Bonk Footballer. They are very pro defensively and offensively and are a hybrid of a Position Master, Tactician, Striker, Defender and maybe even a Trickster.

### Celebrator

A celebrator usually does a specific move after scoring a goal, especially when they score a very good goal or well placed goal. Different celebrations include: Spamming kick which moving away from the goal, sliding up or down the wall into the corner, running into the opponent, running around the post and going around the post. A common move is just by staying stationary after scoring to wait for the next point, or the end of a game. A trademark player who runs around the post after scoring is famous\_dex 0. Sugray when scoring usually goes in a circular motion around one of the posts. Spamming kick, siding on the wall, or running into the opponent are used by player sometimes as a common move after scoring. Running into the opponent is a way of putting them off and distracting them that they just scored.
