You can also play alongside your allies who have hindrances who can help you take down even the toughest of defenders by pinning them down while you unleash your barrage of critical hits on them. The Pursuit Cut build is a high damage per second build that relies on Absol’s basic attack to dish out critical hits on enemies.Īlways look for an opportunity to burst down enemies who are wandering alone, especially the squishier attackers and other Pokemon who have a lower level than you. While this is happening, go around the objective to look for an opportunity to pounce on a careless enemy Pokemon. Let your teammates or the enemy attack the objective. Absol would easily be at dangerously low health levels if it is hit by a move or two. Why? It’s because of the same reason as above. Because of this, Absol needs to have at least a defender or a support with it when it takes objectives.Īnother thing that you have to note when taking objectives is that you have to go back and hide when enemies try to contest the objective. What is the role of Absol when taking objectives?Ībsol can easily take down Drednaw, Rotom, or Zapdos because of its high attack speed and critical-hit rate but there’s a catch, it cannot survive the damage the legendary Pokemon dishes out because of its low HP and defenses.

It is important to at least help one of the two lanes so you will be able to secure more experience points for you and your team. Since Absol is a basic attack reliant Pokemon, being ahead or at least on par in terms of levels with the enemy team is important.Īfter your first gank, head to the very center of the map so you can decide on whether to help the Top or Bottom lane when Vespiquen and the swarm of Combees spawn at the 8:50 mark. It is important to have the first upgraded move before ganking because both Night Slash and Pursuit offer more mobility and damage to Absol. Start by acquiring Feint so you can make Absol jump over the obstacle at the edge of the center of the map with using Eject Button. Quickly kill the Lillipup then Ludicolo and Bouffalant. Kill the two Corpish afterward because you’d want to be at least level 5 before your first gank at around 9 minutes in so you will have access to Absol’s first upgraded move, Night Slash or Pursuit. Furthermore, Absol’s boosted attacks lower defenses and deal more damage against isolated targets. Absol is both dashes and has crit-based basic attacks that are both the reason why it is scary but sometimes unreliable.Ībsol has one of the highest critical-hit rates on all Pokemon because of its passive, Super Luck that grants bonus critical-hit rate. It can also be used to get behind enemy pokemon when the Pursuit Punch build is used.Ībsol is a mobile burst damage assassin speedster. Absol is a squishy speedster so an emergency button is necessary for escaping dangerous situations. This Held item is the best combination of damage per second and burst damage since it grants consistent bonus damage to its through both bonus damage and crtis.Įject Button is great for escaping after assassinating an enemy pokemon. Razor Claw adds bonus damage to its user’s next basic attack after using a move. Absol’s damage is based on his basic attacks so it is a welcome addition to hit kit and the HP-based damage is great for clearing wild pokemon, especially the buffs, Bouffalant and Ludicolo, and Rotom, Drednaw, and Zapdos. Muscle Band adds current HP-based damage to its user’s basic attacks. Absol’s passive and moves are all about critical strikes so this Held item is a must-have on them. Scope Lens increases the critical-hit rate and critical-hit damage of its user. The Psycho Slash enables Absol to deal a lot of damage per second through the bonus critical-hit rate from the second cast of Night Slash and through the bonus damage to enemies hit by Psycho Cut. More often than not, if you have teleported due to Sucker Punch first before casting Pursuit, you will end up at the front side of your target enemy. When used in combination with Sucker Punch, you have to cast Pursuit first before getting hit by the enemy as Sucker Punch will teleport you to the back side of enemies. When fighting enemies head-on, a quick Pursuit to a basic attack will hit the enemy’s backside provided you cast Pursuit in front of the enemy. Pursuit is a non-damaging dash but it empowers Absol’s next attack to deal bonus damage.Ī triangular area is revealed on the backside of enemies and when Absol hits that area with the empowered attack, it deals more damage, and Pursuit’s cooldown is reduced.

If the basic attack lands from behind, its damage is increased and this move’s cooldown is reduced. (Basic attack range is doubled while this effect is active).

Dash to the designated location and quickly charge an enemy with the next basic attack.
