Huttball Strategy

Discuss Huttball strategies, hints and tips here.

1) When you start, check which team you're on! Look to the enemies end and look up. What colour do you see? Yellow or purple? Check which color you're enemy is and then simply aim for that colour. If you see a strobe of that colour, that's the enemy ball handler, so go kill them. If you have the ball, or are helping someone with the ball, head towards that colour (their end).

2) Make sure you have "Throw the Hutball" ability hotkeyed (it'll show up in general abilities [P] the first time you play Huttball). If you have the ball and get thrown off a ledge, throw the ball back up to a team mate still on the ledge. It's rare that the right thing to do is to run back up yourself with the ball.

3) If you have tanking abilities (damage mitigation from the target to yourself), such as Ion Gas Cylinder combined with Guard for a powertech, remember to use them on the ball handler. Their life is more important than yours (usually).

4) Fire hurts... a lot. If you see a fire ring turn red, don't risk it unless you know you've got time to make it across.

5) DON'T ZERG IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP FOR NO REASON! YOU JUST PISS PEOPLE OFF!!
