I have played Sableye for a while now. I would say, it's not the type that should join a skirmish right away. You are supposed to be an outlier. Circling around the opponent team and only dive when they're focused on your teammate so you distract the enemies. Even that sign that they see when you are around makes them go paranoid. If you are among the first one to show, enemy team will most of the time attack you because Sableye is annoying, coupled by its fragility it will not last long. Just dive in when opponents are occupied, use normal attack to inflict fear, then follow it up with confusion, but if you think you are safe then go normal attack, knock off, then confusion. After all those, just run, unless you are very sure you can make a kill. Maximize the effect of your passive and your opponents will hate you until the end of time.
It's very apparent with it's unite. You're not supposed to engaged in team fight and only play in the background. That being said, almost all Sableye player took it very literally and do nothing but back cap all game.
@@blameitondanny Well yeah, it's correct. Afterall, Sableye is a support character. It's role as a support is to distract the opponents and help lose their momentum, so it's still important that it joins team fight to throw crowd control every now and then. :)
@@blameitondanny i think alot of players just waste the information sableye gives them. if sableye is backcapping, you have vision on that part of the map, same for jungle invading, offlaning, and dropping the fake energy on the ground, which non sableye players will be oblivious to the amount of damage and vision that can be racked up with good placement making a considerable difference to your teams teamfight, without even being there. It might look like your sableye is scoring, but i can assure you if there winrate is over 50% (most sableye in masters are) they are most definitely doing a lot more than that.
"I can't get out, how do you live on this pokemon?" Haha you don't. You can try to survive by using the 2nd hit of Knock Off or you can try to wiggle your way out with movespeed. But generally if you just unga bunga on Sableye without a plan, you'll do nothing but feed. This Pokemon rewards game knowledge and timing more than you think.
I mean you could read the move description knock off slashes forward and back usually you have to use it again before the move finishes to guarantee the third hit.
When you start, go straight for the goal, score what you got, and use theif and clever positioning to steal and score points, expect to die, but the enemy will have less exp, leaving the middle indeedees for your teamate, you are the distraction, the menace, and use x speed to get out fast! I also recommend attack weight, float stone, feint attack, and either the res.guard, aeos cookie, or score shield. Hope this helps anyone!
Decision making is key to this pokemon, you pop out on opportunistic time esp if there is a 1on1 situation or if you are more than the enemy (numbers win the battle). You basically play outside your team and act as bait or distraction. What makes him strong is he is a scoring/control specialist
I love this build. This is a deceptively challenging build to play as it requires have decent enough macro to figure out when to team fight, when to score, when to get vision, and when to invade. The main purpose of this build isn't really to survive (though if you can that's a plus), it's more to provide vision and run interference for your team. Unless your team is stomping super hard, you're usually the lowest level and provide very little XP. So, choosing the right enemy to stun to help your team in a fight is worth potentially dying. I particularly like this build because if your team is terrible, they will die alot, and that will leave lots of Aeos coins on the ground, you can use those points to try and give your team a point lead at Ray, so you force the enemy team to have to engage instead of your team having to.
On the rare times I play Sableye, I opt to play Feint Attack for vision control. There really isn't another Pokemon that can literally place down wards, and I'm surprised that no one else takes advantage of that
Sableye main here. Shadow Sneak and Feint Attack is the better moveset in my opinion. Shadow sneak is such an underrated move. The fear followed by the boosted basic attack damage combo on shadow sneak is insane. Plus added healing and speed. I feel Shadow Sneak and Feint Attack is extremely underrated and not played correctly. You should definitely try it.
Man I actually love sableye in scarlet and violet he’s a good support and has access to some crazy support moves on real pokemon this game really needs more unique supports
Imagine instead of the fear ability it was like a ability that makes a clone that acts like a player and just runs around and you can swap with it like every 45 seconds and it can’t die plus if damage you receive and slow or attack reduction
Pre sableye nerf, I was playing it as an attacker and I managed to get the first ribbon and maintain a 50% + win rate, they're actually fun under the right player
We need more videos telling people what to do when Playing characters they are currently being told to or not to play. Because even if a character is "broken" people still mess it up.
Since I'm a Sableye main it's actually easy to counter another Sableye and Dragapults cause I've learned the Art of Phantom movements, and honestly, this Mon has gotten so many nerfs Yet its Still Cracked.
I hate playing Sableye but my friends like me queuing with them as the gremlin. I don’t heal like a supporter or buff i just annoy and cc the enemies until they grief and rage out. By that point they make foolish moves.
This season made me go into my joker arc, so I played 14 ranked games in a row as Sableye this weekend. I went 12-2. After I was disgusted enough with myself, I stopped and went 4-5 in my next non sable games. Guys, I might just be bad and a Sableye main now.
Yeah, Sableye definitely does feel good but I don't use this item build. I prefer Weight, Exp and Guard and Eject. Much better at supporting others while also being annoying. Besides, this guy completely takes away Aeos coins and makes stackers really hard and I actually did that. I was evil tbh. Unlike others, I would never invade with Sableye. That would be dishonourable and cringe on my part.
does score shield even matter? I mean I guess it prevents the jump pad from stopping your score and I suppose it can block a comfey auto attack but apart from that..
God. As a sableye main this is the cringe build. And i hate it I opt for a different approach with sable, using the "fear" from his passive auto to the fullest. I go leftys + claw + resonant shield. Shadow sneak and feint attack and 6 brown, 4 greens, 2 blacks The objective is to damage the enemies with the boosted auto from your passive while causing CC to disrupt key attackers. The cringe scoring build is so far bellow this playstyle is insane. Inusually get 40-50k damage consistently, with 15+ assists,
Most of your deaths were skill issue tbh, it is totally possible to play Sableye correctly by not rushing to group fights and picking the right enemies to stun/confuse. Sableye is a good pokemon
So CrisVillains is the canon now huh? You might've hated it, but I'm sure you also enjoyed it. And hey, at least you had EXP Share on, unless most Sableyes in soloQ lol.
