Stun Technique

I was asked a question while playing today, and thought I'd answer it in the form of a app post.

"So basically I just keep getting killed when I try to stun people which in turn has made me rage quit constantly. How do I go about it effectively?"

Well, first you must realize you can't just counter every pursuer that is following you, otherwise the game would turn into “kill your pursuer” and not “chase your victim”. The mechanic is there to counter unaware enemies. The plus side is that when you pull one off, you get quite a good amount of points, and get the added benefit of annoying your enemy. Below are some ways to catch your opponent unaware.

If you know you're chaser is nearby, run into a crowd with the morph ability equipped, and morph the whole group into your clones. Now you have a 80% chance of survival assuming you morphed a group of 5. As soon as he makes the move on the first person, stun the opponent and run.

An alternate strategy is to coordinate with your team, and hide near each other. Rather than moving around the map in manhunt or alliance, hide in one area and morph groups to hide in. This way, if one your allies get killed, you can run over to avenge him.

If you refuse to play passive, I'd recommend equipping the smoke bomb. Drop the smoke bomb when he is near, but not too close, then casually walk up while he is doubled over, stun him, and slip away into the crowd. But be weary, if there is multiple enemies, you may want to only use it to block a path, not as an offensive tool to stun opponents.
