push and hold block(q by default) when you see a beam headed towards you. remember to keep holding down block because if you let go you will stop blocking and the beam will explode on you

**edit**
oops forgot to say how to win. hold down the left mouse button and going "turbo" helps quite a bit too

You know, i've gotten into plenty of block struggles, but i've never once won a block struggle.

So, as ChannelForThePain said, all you do is hold the block key when a beam comes towards you, i think it has to be strong enough to engage a block struggle or you'll just swat it away, im not sure.

As for how to win a block struggle....i have no idea. Whenever i get engaged in one, i only get pushed back until the beam explodes and i get hurt.

Does anybody know how to/ have any advice on how to win a block struggle?

I kept clicking the left mouse button and, eventually, my character just swatted the beam away.

my tactic is to engage in a block struggle then when i look like im loosing i press the turbo button, and watch as the beam flys back to them. nothing more satisfying than watching them teleport away.:D

Yeah, seriously. I use block as much as i can (ie. when i remember to use it) and it usually helps, except for when i get engaged in a block struggle, get hit by numerous other beams from other people and then hit a wall and have the beam that i was blocking blow up in my face......other than that, it helps quite a lot.

yeah block rules exept for that when you hit a wall in a block struggle they should change it so the wall helps you in getting the blast back but when you slid across the wall and it blows up next to you then you die....:)

Block struggling is fun, nothing is more satisfying then to block someone's beam across the map then slowly stop it and bounce it back to them.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could beam grab eventually?

I always seem to have really crappy luck with block struggles, cause it always seems to happen near a wall, so when it engages, i can only hold out for a little bit before hitting the wall and have it blow up.


And i would love to be able to beam grab, but right now, little tweaks to the current block struggle system and i'll be a very happy bunny.

it would be cool if the wall you're getting pushed into caved in around you :)

Crushing damage will be added into future releases, most likely after Beta 1.1, at which point backing into a wall should no longer detonate the beam you are struggling. I am not 100% positive of this, that's just the way it sounds.

if crushing damage was not included, then if you blocked an attack, you'd always beat it...;/
