Valioa's PG Guide!

PG Cards!

Although it is your choice for what cards you pick, here are some recommended attributes/stats that you should be aiming for:

Primary Stats: Steal, Stamina, 3pt, Middle Shot, Running Speed, Pass, Long Layup, Block

Secondary Stats: (Please let me know if I missed some stats)
Dive Success - Increases the timing window of your dives. A must for PGs.
Dive Fail Decrease - Increases the chance of the ball landing in your hands when diving.
Move Speed - Makes your character move faster with/without the ball in hand, good for defense and offensive strats. I tested that each addition to move speed = 1 millisecond of speed
Move Collision Angle - Increases the range in which you "bump" into opponents.
Move Collision Resistance - Increases the chance of you not getting "bumped" by others.
Steal Motion - Increases the speed and recovery in which you swipe/steal the ball.
Long Layup Range - Increases the range of layups.
Kick out/Entry pass speed/intercept resist - Pass speed/Decreases chance of intercept when passing Quick Jumper Activation Speed - Increases the speed of quick jumper.
Stamina Max/Recovery - Increases max stamina/recovery rate.
Face Up Speed - Makes your face up faster.
3pt Success - Increases the chance of 3pt going in.
3pt Success(No Mark) - Increases the chance of a 3pt going in when Wide Open aka No Mark appears. Mid Shot Success - Increases chances of Middle shot going in.
Alley-Oop Fail decrease - Increases chance of alley-oop success
Alley-Oop Range - Increases the range of Alley-oop (which is originally inside the arc).

For example, here are the cards I use the majority of the time:



Although the Post shot and Post up Quick change are useless, the rest of my stats are what most PGs should be going for!

As for SP Edition Card Decks, SP#4, SP#3, and SP#5 are best for PGs.

SP Edition #4 gives +7 Long Layup, +7 Steal, and +7 Steal again with random att. for secondary stats without upgrading! This is by far the best SP set for PGs hands down.

SP Edition #5 gives +7 3pt, +7 Running Speed, and 3pt+7 again!

SP Edition #3 gives +7 Middle Shot, +7 Stamina, and +7 Middle Shot again! In addition, an SP Edition card set gives you +7 stats for all of the attributes as well.

Priority Spending!

Here is what you should be buying before anything else, in order from most important to less important:

1. Special Characters: (You get 40+ more training attributes, which is awesome! You do not really have to spend any money on an SPC, since you get a free buzzer beater coupon at level 50, but if you want other SPC like Goku or Billy, then by all means spend away! Here are the prices and benefits to each:

- Sexy <3, 168cm.
You can get her free at lvl 50!
The only female PG SPC atm.
She might have some secret advantages to the other PGs, but who knows...

- It's ya boi! 167cm.
You can get him free at lvl 50!
Again, he might have some secret advantages like Clara, but that is just a myth...

- Cheapest SPC to buy at 1490 Gkash.
Play as a Monkey!
Shortest PG in the game at 150cm (making him the fastest overall).
Has Pass stat +4, and Speed +4 as a bonus.

- Cost 1890 Gkash.
Rich homie boi w/ a big neck! Kappa
168cm like Clara.
+4 3 Pointer & +4 Middle Shot Attribute!

Overall, I recommend just getting the special character you prefer the most. Don't follow the meta, just go your own way! ^.^

2. Skill Slots: (like 20$ for all 4 skill slots, and is very essential for higher level gameplay. I highly recommend buying Skill slots on a special character if you are on a budget and don't feel like spending money on a PG you won't play.)

Skill Slot Pic:

3. Rare Clothing: So yea, These cost like 9$ a piece, permanent, giving your character +10 attributes. I didn't really spend any money on rare clothes, because in Point ball (at least I hope they still are there), there are rare clothes that come with 7day +10 attributes. Unfortunately, they are quite rare sometimes, so you will just find yourself wasting points. Other than that, I just used 7k Points to buy +5 attributes. PLUS, Style over Stats anyday!

Point Ball Rare Clothes:


4. SP Edition Card Sets: The cost will vary, because you may either get mad lucky and get SP Edition Set first try (WHICH RARELYYY HAPPENSSS), or rage and donate to charity, getting 10 Magic cards at once, like Junior aka Lloyd LOL. But yea, Card balls cost 70 gkash each, which does not sound like much at first, however, the odds of getting sp set is quite rare. The reason to get SP card edition, is because of the +7 all training attributes. Although I do not have any SP Card Edition Sets, I would really want to have one.


5. Ceremony: UM, IF YOU WANNA PUSH SOMEONE ON THE FLOOR AND SHOOT THEM, OR DANCE LIKE MJ, OR SPIN THE BALL AROUND, OR DO SOME KIND OF GANGNAM DOGGY STYLE ON TOP OF YOUR TEAMMATE, By all means buy these ceremonies. They are very cheap, and are fun to mess around with xD.




ALSOOOOO.... almost forgot. THIS IS CRUCIAL... DONT FORGET TO PURCHASE THE DIRTY DANCE CEREMONY, WHICH COST 8800 points in the ceremony shop! This'll get you all da Claras...




6. VIP: Gives you the following benefits:

Only benefits are 1 extra skill slot, and the 50% exp/Points buff. This is pretty much the last thing you want to buy (cost 1490 Gkash for 30days)

PG Attribute Example(s) /Skill Build Example (EDITED since I am Shrewd Type now.)

I am a Shrewd Point Guard by the way, here are my stats that I main on:



Steal is the main stat here, with speed, stamina, and 3pt as your secondaries (of course this is just my opinion, feel free to tweak your stats around to what ever you see fit, THIS IS FREESTYLE



Another Example, my Power PG build






As for my skills that I enjoy using usually, depends on my playstyle (I will mention different skill builds in the playmaking section of the guide):




Direct Pass (insures that you pass to the correct teammate)

Baseball Pass (Cannot be intercepted, and used to pass from very far away)

Manual Layup (A scoring option, as well as a way to use jump pass more consistently)

Kill Pass (Clutch passes win games)

Sp Intercept (Increases range of intercept! OP)

Intercept (if used correctly, is the most deadly weapon on a PG)

Jump Pass (A good move to loosen up the Defense in the Paint, and set plays, Use with caution, some people tend to mess up the pass when used in the wrong angles i.e. jump passing to someone from across the court. You can use direct pass (Layup then Q/E) to jump pass to any person u wish, just be sure he is either behind you, or on the side, NOT ACROSS.)

Quick Jumper (Best back up scoring move for PGs. Use this whenever you are wide open.)

Alley Oop Pass (Underrated skill. If used correctly (aka not in the PF/Cs face, and have the receiver place himself close to the rim for a lightning fast short dunk alley), this move is quite useful.)

Sp Steal (Another awesome skill for PGs that sets them apart from other positions. This makes stealing a game changer.)

Sp 3pointer (Another Skill all PGs should have, Increases your 3pt success rate substantially.)

Sp Diving Catch (All PGs should have this!!!! This skill sets them apart from SG's Diving catch, making PGs dive farther, thus being the best recovery position in the game.)

Overpass Intercept (Same with Intercept, when mastered, this skill is one of the PGs best skills, although this is not entirely needed as much as intercept. A game changer nonetheless.)

PG Types' Pros & Cons

Good sirs, the PG position in my opinion excels at all different types in their own way:

1. Power Type Pros & Cons: (AKA Kuroko and imo, an Underrated PG)

+ Highest base pass, block, tussle, short dunk attribute for a PG
+ Best Defense against shooters (and layup ppls) for a PG
- Slower than other PGs, making it harder to keep up with faster PGs when defending them.
- Lower Stamina, 3pt, and Long Layup Att. than other PGs

2. Balanced Type Pros & Cons: (Also Underrated PG)

+ Has the ability to balance out every stat, aka being all-around (speedy, good block, ok 3pt, some long layup, stamina, etc.)
+ Can defend both fast PGs, and Shooters/Layup ppls due to its well-rounded speed, and blocking atts.
+ Can excel towards being Power-Type, with a little Shrewd-like capabilities, and Vice versa.
- Although it can have block and be fast and what not, it is not as good as a Power Type's Block, or a Shrewd Type's Speed.

3. Shrewd Type Pros & Cons: (AKA Scoring PG/Speedy Gonzales, Most OVERRATED PG EVA ( ' w ' ) / )

+ Highest base speed and stamina in the game.
+ Higher 3pt, long layup att. for a PG
+ Defends well against other PGs, and PF/C in a sense (being able to bump into them, and steal much easier)
+ Recommended for people who want to pursue the "Pass Fake" Offense, due to long layup and speed.
- Cannot defend shots and layups as well as the other types due to low block stat.
- Fact that it is overrated ;3
- Pass stat is pretty bad, but hey, its a PG, Shrewd Types don't give an f about pass stat ^.^

Overall, every PG should have Steal attribute as their highest stat! Stealing & Passing is the PGs main role!!! ^.^
It is your choice here, to follow the meta and go Shrewd, or break it and be Kuroko!!!! ;D This is FreeStyle 2 mang, the choice is yours.
