just don't undervalue blockers, they're needed. I have Croissant and she can tank multiple of them for a good while. Speccy S2 is really good.

That one varies a bit with the barricades in the middle, but usually what I do is keep the ball where it is, and use it to destroy the barricades in its row (The balls deal a lot of damage to them, so that's the best way to destroy them, especially spiky balls which have more ATT. Barricades have like 50k hp), then just push. That strat is consistent, but a riskier and faster strat is to try and push it to an open lane and then yeet it with a pusher. Though you have the enemies coming at you, and also the balls travel in different ways, so trying to push them in just the right way to an open lane is hard. A 500IQ strat that I made is... push the ball to your own goalie and catch it, then you can redeploy it wherever you want (to an open lane), then you can yeet it. Though that's hard with randoms

hard layout. naïve approach is to aggro them and wait out the enemies to walk into our blue box, but that takes too long I think. You can also kill them, that's a bit faster but it's still slow overall. I've got two strats for it. First strat is an aggressive "down the middle" attack. You can use a single file attacker to push the ball there, and then just deploy some Degen/Blaze/whatever and force the ball through that middle barricade. Works sometimes, but my partner never blocks the enemies. Second strat is more fancy, use a puller/pusher/even Wild Mane to get the ball to one of the open sides, then yeet it in.
>Swarmcallers
this one isn't that bad because the Swarmcallers don't really do anything unlike the grudgebearer laylout which just kills you or the invis laylout which is infuriating. It'll usually place the ball on an open lane, so you can yeet it, just have to block their goalie. If it isn't, just force through a barricade, whatever row is most convenient.
