Don’t brute force through blocks!
We know this is WWE and wrestling is all about pure power and beating
your opponent into submission, but if your opponent is blocking DON’T
follow through with a combo! If your wrestler completes a normal combo
on a blocking opponent, they’ll be tired for a second after the combo is
over, leaving them completely open to counter attack.
The second you hear the low thuds and the white flashes of blocked
attacks, immediately drop the offensive and wait for your opponent to
lower their guard.
Keep in mind this works on them too! If your opponent is throwing out
punches in a blinding flurry, try blocking for an extended amount of
time. After they complete a full combo on your blocks, they’ll be
stunned, so take advantage!
Keep the class circle in mind!
Each wrestler in the WWE belongs to one of the six classes, and each class beats and is beaten by other classes. Brawlers beat Wildcards, Wildcards beat Technicians, Technicians beat Powerhouses, Powerhouses beat High Fliers, High Fliers beat Showmen, and Showmen beat Brawlers.
When your wrestlers has an advantage over their opponent, they’ll gain a
small but substantial boost to their stats, giving them the upper hand.
Try to always pick favorable match ups for your wrestlers, but most
of the time you don’t have to worry about it. When you’re starting up a
level and deciding who’s up first, the game will auto-select the best
wrestler for the match.
If you’ve got a wrestler with a class advantage, the game will pick
them first. If you don’t have one, the game will pick a wrestler that
isn’t weak to the opponent.
Before you jump into an episode, you can see a class preview of the
opponents you’re going to face up. You can use this knowledge to prepare
your team accordingly!
Time your special moves right!
When you have enough meter, you can unleash one of your signature
special moves. Don’t just randomly activate though the second you’re
charged! Your wrestler can actually be knocked out of a special move if
they’re interrupted before it can connect. This also consumes the meter,
so be very careful!
Instead of randomly throwing out, the best way to use your special
move is to combo into it. Say for example you’re doing a normal light
attack combo that has three hits to it. Perform two light hits, then
activate your special move to weave into it seamlessly. That’s how you
get them!
Keep Synergies in mind!
When you’re building your team of superstars, it’s good to take into
account the classes of your opponents, but one more thing you should
keep in mind are synergies. Certain superstars, when paired on the same
team with other superstars, gain bonus attributes and become stronger in
some way.
For example, AJ Styles has a synergy with Kevin Owens. When they’re
both on the same team, every superstar on the team gains 5% more
critical hit chance. Synergies can really help bring the team together
so always keep them in mind.
