There’s always those Creams that stay near the EXE. There’s always that one player who picks cream for Hardcore. There’s always that cream that doesn’t heal, just runs away.
As a former Cream main, NEVER heal anyone mid chase, even if you are hidden. Chances are, they will get hit and the heal will be wasted. Eait to heal someone while exe is busy wity someone else. Make sure,if exe is in your fov, that he doesn't see your animation, as he will most likely drop anyone he's chasing and go after you. You should never heal people who go near exe and just eat hits, or limit trying to heal everyone. Pick one person you think you need on the team (presumably one of the stunners -Tails, or any Sally that doesn't waste their shield as soon as the game starts) And keep healing them until thwy're good. Beware of who ypu heal, cause if theyre not Amy, Eggman, Knux, maybe Shadow, or Sally, you are open to ambushes when healing.
I'd like to add something as well. Cream can also be a useful distractor of the EXE. If your juking skills are pretty solid, you can easily preform jukes on EXE then flee the scene to waste even more time. I'd really only recommend this if you're the one with more health than the majority of your party. As long as you have a good stunner as well, Sonic's time can be wasted without him realizing. Then again, you might need a more skilled group of people for this, especially stunners. If they miss, they can easily screw you over with false hope.
I see your argument, but I think it is best if cream stays out of the way of the EXE. While having good dodging skills is important, it is best if a different character distracts the exe. Cream is currently the only character in the game who can heal lost HP, which arguably makes her the most valuable character in the game. What do people usually do with very valuable things? They tuck them away and keep them as safe as possible. Only letting them out when they are confident no damage will be received and maximum efficiency is obtained. This concept should be applied to Cream in her gameplay.
Small correction Creams speed boost is actually faster than Sonic (not sure on his invs speed) buts it’s not that much faster than him so you can still make distance from him but he does catch up rather quickly once the speed boost ends, other than that great guide!
You also can heal your teammates safely when they highground/lowground. In highground situation you can be under highground or close to highground where your teammates are if that's possible to safely heal them. Lowground situation is same but you are in highground
as a professional rabbit main, it pains me knowing you forgot to add how cream’s speed boost unintentionally makes her hit box so much jankier because of lag.
As The Person Who is Still Trying to Main All Characters (yes its me, Jesica,) I Already Knew most of theese things, but Its Useful still, I personally don't Play as Cream as Much now Cause i think the gameplay is a bit Boring for me, But if the Team Needs a Medic, i become medic! And a Tactic for healing People is Also Hiding Behind a Wall, and for exmaple in The KindAndFair Map, you can Hide Under The Bridge at the hotSpot Area. (And For the Fact that I'm trying to main All Characters, I got better at Shadow, Pretty Good at Amy just gotta get better at actually Stunning, i will Recheck my skills as Eggman Maybe, and I dont understand Knuckle's Hitbox For now, so i leave Him for Last, And sometimes when no one choose's Tails, i Learn Snipe-ing) Anyway, Good Day For Whoever Reads This because this is kinda Long- (and I'm not english, So i bet there are grammar mistakes, sorry-)
I think cream is very good for distraction and supporting in general. I usually put cream in frontcourt or midcourt because i always start distracting exe once i got the speed boost ability cooldown finished and it helps the team run away + if your good at juking like any other character you can escape from exe and probably juke him until the speed boost cooldown finishes then actually escape, if a teammate is low i just go for the heal even if they just collected a red ring (i am really a team medic and distraction)
Shadow has a few good spots to dash from on each map, but unless you know where they are, then dashing will only be delaying the inevitable while Sonic.exe is chasing you.
I like Shadow as much as the next person, but it's hard to label him anything other than a liability because he has very little team viability. Based on my experience, most have trouble mastering the block mechanic so they will stand still waiting for the exe to hit them, but experienced players know it's a trick and will wait for you to block then attack right afterwards.
@JustGauge All abilities do not necessarily delay the inevitable - it depends on the situation. Any character can be "insane" it all the depends on the skill level of the player. There is never a bad character, only a bad player. However, it is true that some characters synergize better than others, nonetheless.
For me one time I was playing Cream in hardcore I was keeping my distance away from the ExE but also healing my teammates as well until I was the last one standing and I was say cream for me is my favorite because of my juking abilities with the speedboost but Cream does get targeted alot
To be honest, cream is an okay character just because shes being targetted, compared to shadow. And i still prefer shadows dash over creams speed boost, thats why shadow is my main
I just wanna say that some Cream mains just sit in the back of the map never healing ppl. Idk why ppl do this and If I see a cream or shadow doing this, I always go for them bc it's not affecting the team tbh
I love these guide videos so imma js suggest a guide video Idea A knuckles of sally guide video. A Sally guide because some Sally's don't know how to give shields, give shields to random ppl that don't need it and js use the shield when exe isn't around. A Knuckles guide because some don't know how too block or simply js punch thin air. But again this is js am idea you don't have to do this I'm js suggesting a video idea but have a great day and keep making awesome videos👍
(4:06) You read my mind, but I have another question, is it worth it tp use Cream in the Hemorrhage mode? Cuz' everyone is slowly bleeding and well you just said that using Cream in the Hardcore mode is useless, which is true though, but still, would it be useless aswell to use Cream at Hemorrhage mode?
My method (as a Cream main (note: I apologize for any annoying fellow cream mains I'm trying my best out here)) is to SAVE THAT SPEED BOOST. I only use it when sonic comes after me, as it is a good tool to lure him away from the rest of the party or to an available stunner as well as escape. This works especially well when a teammate is downed, as leading sonic away will give another teammate time to revive them with less chances of dying
tbh when I use eggman I just play on hill zone and I go on the top bridge and I absolutely spam electricity on exe. if I'm in a bad situation I can jump off one platform and do a longjump with the jetpack to another one.
in cases in hardcore its good to have mobilty thats why i use cream sometimes my main is tails i use him in hardcore but sally made for hardcore we need the defense
Cream being backcourt makes the most sense, cream is a healer and the only one at that, so cream needs to be safe, and being midcourt or frontcourt could end up getting cream killed easily, you want your teammates to go to you instead of go to them as healing holds you still, so you will need ad much time as possible
