5 tips to climb the FragPunk leaderboards: mastering the current season meta

Intro:
FragPunk, the new free-to-play MOBA from developers at X-Legend, has been out for a few weeks now and it's already a hit among fans of the genre. The game features a unique take on the MOBA formula, with a mix of RPG elements, customizable heroes and a great progression system. If you're still struggling to climb the ranks, here's what you need to know to master the current meta and crush your opponents.

1. Understand the current season's meta

FragPunk's developer team is constantly updating the game with balance patches and tweaks to the game's mechanics. Keep an eye on the official forums and social media to stay updated on the latest changes and adapt your strategy accordingly. Follow popular streamers and pros to learn from the best and adjust your picks to fit the current meta. Check out the current leaderboards to see which heroes are the most popular and why they're being picked.

2. Pick the right role for your team

The current meta favors tanks and assassins, so choose one of those classes. Tanks can absorb damage and protect your carries while assassins deal heavy damage and take down enemy squishies. Choose a tank with crowd control abilities and a high win rate, like Zephyr or Akai, and an assassin like Krixi or Krixi. Support heroes like Alice or Slimz can also be effective, but don't forget to pick a carry to deal damage.

3. Maximize your gold income

Jungle camps are an excellent source of gold, but be careful not to fall behind in XP. Don't forget to take the jungle buffs and camps as soon as they spawn, and don't forget to keep an eye on the minimap to avoid ganks. Avoid the enemy jungler and focus on farming. Level 6's jungle items are a must-have, as they provide gold and stats.

4. Learn the current item builds

Don't rely on the recommended builds, as they might not fit your playstyle. Experiment with items and test which ones suit you best. For instance, go for a hybrid build with a Bloodthirster and a Blade of the Ruined King for extra damage and defense.

5. Adapt to the enemy team

Study the enemy team composition and ban their counters. If they have a lot of burst damage, prioritize tankiness and crowd control. If they have multiple carries, focus on taking them down before they snowball. If they have a lot of CC, focus on escaping and staying alive.

6. Master your ultimates

Know your ultimates' cooldowns and how to use them in team fights. Use them to turn the tide of a fight or secure objectives. Save them for team fights, as they're more impactful than in solo duels. Don't forget to coordinate with your team for synergy.
