**I know did not play Horizon in the video. Right before I started, I decided last minute to use Wattson as I thought would be a better pick as she is more difficult to get in and out of a fight** I hope you find this video truly helpful and leave a like if you want more of it! Today's video is real gameplay of 5 back to back games solo on Apex Legends. This is the real results of solo queuing. Not fancy gameplay. But to showcase the reality when you solo queue and what happens. The goal is to educate and provide tips on what happens during the hard parts of Solo queue no fill. We did have a decent round 3, But not everything round is perfect. Sometimes RNG comes into play. That is is okay. I edit parts down very slightly to save time on getting to the tips and some of the action.
This was honestly the most helpful thing I have ever watched, most videos just talk about how to take very specific fights and they only voice out how they outplayed a squad, but you really got the whole big idea and taught me the overall mindset on how you should play, so thank you so much for making this videos
@@Windspren agreed I think the mindset is really the hardest hurdle here and it’s explained really well. Also, it’s encouraging to see that not all the fights he takes are super clean. Usually the 1v1 where both sides are aware of each other and start with similar hp, the winning side is badly wounded. Or that a decent chunk of the kills were on enemies that were surprised, already knocked, or low hp - which is impressive because it shows how powerful game smarts are and that you don’t necessarily need to be an fps god to achieve good games. Though, his movement mechanics are on a whole other level. If I can focus on learning his game sense and movement mechanics, I think that would carry an average player like me incredibly far.
@@user-ck7hc9ui5m yeah I always wanted to get better at taking on squads solo but I wanted to also try to keep my k/d better bc I thought I would show that I’m good but then recently I remember the phrase “live like you’re poor until you’re rich” I shouldn’t care about having a 1.5kd drop to .9 if the end justifies the means.
@@iamabotdude5545 I find that with my kill go win ratio. I get a lot of high kill games I find going for kills the most fun. I lose mostly to third party in the end or being caught out healing. I could play smarter and get more wins but I enjoy how I play even if the ratio makes me look a little worse
I've starting solo dropping duos as trio I'm no where near that good. I was afraid of my kd dropping but now that I'm fully focused on ranked as long as that's high it'll level out the deaths from solo que. I'm hoping to keep this solo challenge going for the rest of this season in hopes of it helping me in the future.
I've been playing solo no fill for the last 9 months or so. I started out of frustration with team mates, played duos no fill and managed to get a win and never stopped. The satisfaction you get from wiping a squad solo vs trios is better than any ranked experience.
Got a good video on Seer going out tomorrow. been hearing everyone's thoughts about gameplay being good guides. Going to upload 17 elimination and 4,300 damage as seer and break down tips but also mistakes I made even during good gameplay.
I really like that you not only call out your good decisions to showcase why they were good, but also aren't afraid to call out your mistakes, even minor ones. The hesitation you talked about during that one encounter in the final round is something I struggle with, so seeing a position I've been in countless times AND ALSO having you put it into words as to *why* it's a mistake was amazing and really got me thinking about it. Thanks for all the educational content.
After digesting this video multiple times I’d like to personally say thank you so much, I play Crypto I’m not horrible at all I have a 1.5kd but I’ve always struggled with decision making split second and this taught me how to properly commit and take a fight, disengage and reposition, most of all was capitalizing on mistakes the enemy makes such as Isolating enemy teams and forcing teams into favorable positions for myself. Daz Truly bro you are goated finally after 2.5k kills on crypto you’ve helped me get my 20 bomb and 4k it’s so euphoric when you see your hard work to improve pay off
I did this yestarday and kept dying but eveytime i would die i learned something new. Then outta nowhere every thing clicked😂. Got a 9 kill game with valk and 2k damage. I was winning fights and makin plays. I died because i ulted onto a team but by the end of it i knew i had improved. Shit really does help
Great video! I read the exchange you had about the guy who said only hot drop to get better. I 100% solo and struggling with engaging too deep putting me in the middle of the fight instead of what you demonstrated. I also loot too long, don't decide to engage or disengage quickly enough. I also struggle with realistic expectations when every video is a 20 bomb 4k damage win from a lot of creators. Makes me wonder why it doesn't happen to me often enough. Showing 5 straight games is reassuring that I'm not terrible. To me the drop and fight fast is the easy part. The hard part is once everyone is holding hands, purple and red armors, and my squad is dead. Thank you!
Thanks, this is useful. I've been wanting to try the game but due to having quite a bit of social anxiety (and worrying that I'll just sabotage the team by some weird screw up or - other often illogical fears of failure) I haven't dared to hop on to play with strangers, so this at least lets me try it out and the only person who pays the price for my failures is me haha. Maybe even find it in me to build up some confidence and queue with others
This play style will definitely keep you alive but when you do play with randoms keep in mind a lot of times they’re brain dead. They will push right in between two squads then blame you for there death. Once you got solos down then you can be confident in your own plays. That way you won’t take it to heart when they inevitably blame there team for there own stupid choices.
I was the same as first. Just play trios and mute your team for a while, though you will find most won't even talk, especially if you don't talk to them. Don't mute pings and communicate on text if you can. I wouldn't recommend duos as you make up 50% of the team so your decisions matter more. You could also try playing pub arenas, just to get experience playing with others. People are usually just warming up for ranked arenas or BR and most people mess up a round here and there. Arenas has crappy matchmaking so expect complete idiots and often cheaters. These things can often overshadow any flaws in your own performance and allow you to relax a little. If anyone does get annoyed with you in arenas, just tell them to play ranked if they give so much of a shit. Whenever Control is an available game mode, take advantage of it. No one within your team of 3 ever communicates besides through pings. I recommend playing with others (unmuted) as soon as you can though as it makes a huge difference in how much you learn about playing the game. I had a 0.3 KD the first season I started playing, when I was only ever playing with my girlfriend. The following seasons I also played with randoms and have got so much better at the game. I can't carry a squad yet so my winrate still sucks as randoms do tend to be unreliable, but my KD almost doubles every season. That's down to playing both pubs and ranked with randoms, solo and with a premade. I still don't talk to randoms via mic unless they seem nice, but playing with other people is important for learning the game, as it is a team game after all.
Lol randoms are more likely to sabotage you. If you do queue with good players, they will just carry you. They're not gonna care about your lack of experience
been playing solo no fill since I started (season 10) I can say you get a lot better than other people that don't solo fill, but you might have a weak win percentage
yeah i look at my 6x games and 560 wins and i get sad, but ik i’m not bad.. it’s just solo q really. can be hard. I’m thinking i’m gonna start solo q because i think it will help me get a better mindset, knowing IM the one who messed up and i have nobody else to blame. If you want to play my username is Tuhfrr.
Very interesting, thanks. I always feel that I'm being too shy when I want to back out of a fight that I don't feel, but seeing you do the same feels like validation, a little bit at least.
It comes down to a bit of RNG, game three was the cleanest and staying in the action. Others were difficult to find a good moment. Especially the first game. Its pubs, but as you can tell my lobbies were littered with preds abd master level players. So its like playing ranked solo.
@@Dazs i have won a few nofill, because I know how to play smartly, but my problem is the opposite: since my aim has stopped improving a while ago, I don't push enough fights in ranked because I am too afraid that I will lose them. So I am stuck playing for placement, and hoping for one or two KPs.
I think when you pushed in 6:40 We couldve thrown in arc star when dropping Or just throw the arc and wait for him to move If his teammate doesn't block the arc with the knockdown shield
You’ve earned yourself a new follower sir! Love the live commentary education. I love Apex but struggle with success due to a lot of the things you point out. I follow a lot of great Apex content creators but not many of them break down their thoughts in live games. I find it actually more entertaining than watching people slay out and stay silent. I also find it very helpful. Keep up the good work!
This video is no where near perfect either, which is the point. Wanted to show games of a normal reality, than uploading some 15+ game of good RNG. just showing the real RNG that can happen.
Great content Dazs. I'd say one of the biggest reasons I was able to jump to Masters was because I play a ton of solo no fill, and still do. It's hands-down the best way to improve game sense, along with spending time on aim training, but unfortunately it's too daunting for most players. But for those who really want to improve at the game though, it is the way to go! Even better, don't use an easy escape legend like Wraith which so many people resort to doing. Wattson, Bloodhound, Fuse, etc. are fantastic for getting as much as possible out of the solo no fill experience.
@@nozomu8686 If your aim is decent, in other words you can win most of your 1v1 encounters, then I'd recommend starting right away with trios no fill. Duos is easier, but it's also less realistic to the game's 3-squad nature, so I don't recommend duos for optimal learning.
I really loved to hear you analyze when to push and loot. Rant in the beginning emphasizing why to move a lot really made my eyes open. I've never seen gameplay like that before where someone analyzes should you push or not and why. I find it helpful to hear those time constraints you have in decision making. Those help a lot and it is easy to understand that few seconds really make the difference. That's when opponent has time to pop a shield or battery. Throwing nades helps a lot in that. It was great to witness how you did rotate around enemy teams to get different angles to engage. I've struggled with that. It was very helpful to notice how you took streak of five games to see how things work out. Other streams usually try to see everything from one game. Thank you for the stream! 🙂
Hahah, really fun watching your damage counter go up on the banner above you as you fought that team at 24:05. This video is super helpful, appreciate you taking the time to make this kind of content.
Great video. Hearing your live thought process and that tip about hard disengaging was really helpful. Actually won my first solo game after watching this. Got 15kills and 3.6k. Too bad i couldnt get my first 4k or 20 bomb for wraith but ill take the win.
For those of you saying and thinking "just hot drop in pubs to get better" - I 100% agree But I want to reinforce the fact Dazs cleary states in the first 25 seconds of his video that he's teaching us how we can clutch up as a solo* no-fill and improve our 'game sense' efficiently. Although I enjoy ego-challenging every player I encounter, the reality is that my aim/mechanics just aren't as good as theirs. I'll stay working on it but there's actually a lot more ways we can improve at this game outside of 1v1s and hot dropping. Also, this is NOT a camp in the end-zone...where you don't fight until the last ring strat - by any means. What I'm trying to say is that Dazs is showing us a great example of how we can apply the right decision making to win our fights against full 3-mans who have the same skill level as us, if not better. And he's doing it as Wattson vs a legend like Octane/Wraith etc. If you're a verified movement god or you're an aimbot since it's coded into your nervous system then do whatever you want because you'll always stomp over 90% of the lobbies you're in. But the vast majority of us aren't...even though we like to believe we are! 😂 Regardless where you fall on the spectrum...there's actually a lot good nuggets in this video if you pay attention. I'd challenge you guys to try pulling this off as a solo - still having presence...just knowing when to engage...when to disengage...but don't use a movement legend!!!
Try to get as much damage/kills as you can but only play 5 games like Dazs did and live with the results.
Amazing video just subscribed. How about a full series on this but with all the legends? It was amazing to see your though process with Wattson, but playing solo with other legends would probably give you a different gameplan in some situations.
I absolutely love it when i wipe a full squad solo as the adrenaline rush and thrill that comes with it feels amazing. Not so much though when you get insta beamed by a L-star early on
Great video i learned a lot here but an extra tip i would highly recommend especially for no-fill players is utilizing your grenades as much as possible. In the first game at 6:40 you had an amazing oppurtunity to throw the arc star you had to not only finish your knock but also force his squadmate out of cover. Where you could have got the 2nd knock while still maintaining height advantage rather than jumping down straight away. The arc star could have potentially been a very defining factor in winning that fight as i'm sure you would have rolled through the last guy with ease
I swear watching this video just really unlocked something in me. I have been playing for so long. I have 10k games played and I have my good days here and there. But I was taking note of a lot of things you were saying especially the hard engage/disengage technique and my god I had some exceptional gameplay yesterday compared to normal. Thank you so much for this video. And it goes to show even people as good as you still get shit on from time to time lol.
The general game-play is the exact same I follow in no-fills, however I don't do nearly as well because of loot greed, questioning my own calls, and lack of confidence when going into fights. Seeing someone play and highlight these small nuances is very helpful in polishing my game-play and improving on the small things. Thank you so much for this video, would also love to see some solo Loba no-fill game-play.
I've played a couple time and I was pretty proud of how I did and I definitely surprised myself with how well I did. I 1v3'd some squads but my problem with solo trios or duos is the stress man it can almost suck the fun out of the game lol. I do enjoy the challenge though and it definitely can get you better at certain aspects of the game.
I only solo in trio. I'm a pro solo - I always get in top 5, usually top 3, 2nd place is very common, so here is my advice #1) Valkyrie #2) fly out after the last of teams have drop out #3) if you find yourself forced to drop with other teams, head for a jump tower and fly out (and some will chase you, so don't make it look like that's your intent until last second, then drop away, and fly up to jump tower - they don't have a weapon yet) #4) collect at least 1 ultimate accelerants (ideally 2), #5) stay away from direct fights - only 3rd party if you are at a distance and there is a way out or around the belligerents #6) never give away position until you know an acceptable route out of #7) get skin that camouflage, nothing fancy, use light green, easily hide, hard to see - all weapon skins dark/black/gray skins (or dirt brown/light greens) #8) don't be afraid to sit out the clock, waiting in the bushes (watch a UA-cam video while waiting), #9) no shame in hiding - if placing in 2 or 1st place is what you want #10) hiding is a whole different kind of skill, trust #11) you will get 1st place by luck - there times the last team(s) find themselves dying outside the ring closure - last ring(s) kill fast #12) have fun PS #13) new to game, use the Evac Towers - best deal is to have one, find another, use it, grab the new one you just found ;)
I am so glad this popped up today. I solo no fill because I usually regret the random experience. I use Valk as a crutch but I am working on Horizon or Ash instead.
Just here to write that playing Newcastle or Gib in a trio feels just like this, you can't run away from the team, you gotta fight, you gotta rotate around with a team that CANT defend you, you gotta make choices, and COMMIT.
Maybe revenant guy knew you was solo by counting the kill feed, ggs brother I could watch you do 5 matches and talk through it like this every day honestly
I might be late to the party, but thanks for this! Started playing Apex recently (looking for safe haven from Overwatch 2) and I enjoy it so far but I can definetly improve!
OMG I am currently soloing with wattson because I want to get 1000 kills with her (as I barely play her) and searched up for solo tips and here you are doing Solo with wattson
Thank you thank you thank you!!! You have so much amazing educational content and I’m so excited to get through everything and then apply it to my own play style and content. Much love!
I like playing games of no fill trios it gets your mind thinking about positioning and makes you think about your situation knowing that you don't have your tramates as a safety net
Thank you so much for this great guide! Your explanation is helping me a lot! No fancy gameplay but only the reality of solo queue. 🤟 This will help me a lot when I solo Ranked.
Wow very cool video! Such great info, also commentating over your game play is a great way to teach, it like a hands on approach and very unique compared to other apex YT channels. Thank you!
I won my first duo no fill the other day as Wattson, but admittedly I just started playing no fill. If the lobbies you are getting are too hard, just quit playing for a while and come back. The games matchmaking system will try to keep you engaged and tracks how many hours you play before you quit and will give you easier lobbies when it's near the time you quit. If you endure sweaty lobbies for hours and hours, the game will keep giving you hard lobbies.
I’ve been a Revenant main since season 4. Once I started doing solo no fill I instantly stopped playing him because I would get beamed so easily. His larger hit box never really affected me when I had a team on my side defending me, but as soon as I played by myself I just couldn’t escape the one mags
Going into this knowing that I end many fights realizing I should have disengaged. Also, winning and losing a lot of head on fights that I should have been more tactical with. Hoping to learn some mindset changes!
once again on that 1st game you played in, you had the chance to lead your push with a arc star but you decided to just jump at the player reviving and got killed. You always forget your nades Dazs lol
Hey Dazs, thank you so much, i just tried to start no filling and was kinda hesitant, but this will sure come in handy and it's a very helpful video, keep it up
Idk bro , I only play ranks , I go for the kill every time , it's disrespectful out here , your time half the time will run ' just one person ' in leave you just to hide until they get killed 😭 ranked is toxic 'im a typical diamond player 😔🤣😔 love your dedication & content for the Apex community tho ! Keep grinding ✊🦾
At 7:10 u could’ve thrown ur arc to either force damage from height or force him to rotate from cover so u could poke and make for a better push good stuff tho
I play in Australian servers as that’s where i live, and I gotta tell you, from all the games I’ve played and all the different countries servers I’ve played it in (usually because of friends who don’t live in Australia) Australia by far has the single lowest iq average players that I’ve ever seen. It’s truly mind blowing how both sweaty yet unbelievably stupid the people in these servers are. So as a byproduct of this, the ability to identify these people as teammates is abysmal. Their use as teammates simply doesn’t exist. So I basically only play solo. And yes, you can tell me that I play Solo too much and the teammates probably improved since then but the teammates in any game in Australian servers have been equally bad since early cod days they definitely aren’t improving any time soon. So videos like this are extremely useful
**I know did not play Horizon in the video. Right before I started, I decided last minute to use Wattson as I thought would be a better pick as she is more difficult to get in and out of a fight**

I'd love for you do to a walk through on a duos.
When solo, always stay in a positive or neutral mindset on what youre trying to do, constant deaths on drop should not be a bothering point
right, i feel solo q is gonna make you better but prepare for that KD drop.

do you recommend starting with duo no fill?
@@nozomu8686 If your aim is decent, in other words you can win most of your 1v1 encounters, then I'd recommend starting right away with trios no fill. Duos is easier, but it's also less realistic to the game's 3-squad nature, so I don't recommend duos for optimal learning.
@@kennylum6455 alright, ty!
I really loved to hear you analyze when to push and loot. Rant in the beginning emphasizing why to move a lot really made my eyes open.
I've never seen gameplay like that before where someone analyzes should you push or not and why. I find it helpful to hear those time constraints you have in decision making. Those help a lot and it is easy to understand that few seconds really make the difference. That's when opponent has time to pop a shield or battery. Throwing nades helps a lot in that.
It was great to witness how you did rotate around enemy teams to get different angles to engage. I've struggled with that.
It was very helpful to notice how you took streak of five games to see how things work out. Other streams usually try to see everything from one game.
Thank you for the stream! 🙂
Hahah, really fun watching your damage counter go up on the banner above you as you fought that team at 24:05. This video is super helpful, appreciate you taking the time to make this kind of content.
Great video. Hearing your live thought process and that tip about hard disengaging was really helpful. Actually won my first solo game after watching this. Got 15kills and 3.6k. Too bad i couldnt get my first 4k or 20 bomb for wraith but ill take the win.

For those of you saying and thinking "just hot drop in pubs to get better" - I 100% agree
But I want to reinforce the fact Dazs cleary states in the first 25 seconds of his video that he's teaching us how we can clutch up as a solo* no-fill and improve our 'game sense' efficiently. Although I enjoy ego-challenging every player I encounter, the reality is that my aim/mechanics just aren't as good as theirs. I'll stay working on it but there's actually a lot more ways we can improve at this game outside of 1v1s and hot dropping. Also, this is NOT a camp in the end-zone...where you don't fight until the last ring strat - by any means.
What I'm trying to say is that Dazs is showing us a great example of how we can apply the right decision making to win our fights against full 3-mans who have the same skill level as us, if not better. And he's doing it as Wattson vs a legend like Octane/Wraith etc. If you're a verified movement god or you're an aimbot since it's coded into your nervous system then do whatever you want because you'll always stomp over 90% of the lobbies you're in. But the vast majority of us aren't...even though we like to believe we are! 😂
Regardless where you fall on the spectrum...there's actually a lot good nuggets in this video if you pay attention.
I'd challenge you guys to try pulling this off as a solo - still having presence...just knowing when to engage...when to disengage...but don't use a movement legend!!!
Try to get as much damage/kills as you can but only play 5 games like Dazs did and live with the results.
As a Crypto main trying to improve, this video changed my life. Thank you
As a solo q player I really hate when I get damaged once and get this annoying text " sonar detected" and that's when ik I am messed up
Honestly this video helped a lot I tried solo duo today and I'd didn't win but I got some good damage and survived for a while
fantastic guide as usual Daz! id love to see this as a series.
Amazing video just subscribed. How about a full series on this but with all the legends?
It was amazing to see your though process with Wattson, but playing solo with other legends would probably give you a different gameplan in some situations.
Keep it up, these videos are awesome! Love your commentary.
I absolutely love it when i wipe a full squad solo as the adrenaline rush and thrill that comes with it feels amazing. Not so much though when you get insta beamed by a L-star early on
Omg thank you so much for this guide this is all I do
lmao
We all solo queue :O
@@Dazs omg you replied, yayyyy
i love the feel of this video
it feels like old 2005 2009 games
like its a bit streched
New Dazs video drops are always a delight
This one is longer, but its dedicated to really help you improve. Also on Wattson :D
Great video i learned a lot here but an extra tip i would highly recommend especially for no-fill players is utilizing your grenades as much as possible. In the first game at 6:40 you had an amazing oppurtunity to throw the arc star you had to not only finish your knock but also force his squadmate out of cover. Where you could have got the 2nd knock while still maintaining height advantage rather than jumping down straight away. The arc star could have potentially been a very defining factor in winning that fight as i'm sure you would have rolled through the last guy with ease

I swear watching this video just really unlocked something in me. I have been playing for so long. I have 10k games played and I have my good days here and there. But I was taking note of a lot of things you were saying especially the hard engage/disengage technique and my god I had some exceptional gameplay yesterday compared to normal. Thank you so much for this video. And it goes to show even people as good as you still get shit on from time to time lol.
This is gonna be a really useful video I will be watching it often to learn. Great Video, Dazs
Glad you think so! :)
I went into a solo game and I opened up this video in the background, so that I could watch it later. I won that game.
When he said “I’m crying” at 1:52 had me crying 😂😭😭😭
It's ok this was a really useful guide for Watson and I enjoy your guides on Apex characters
The general game-play is the exact same I follow in no-fills, however I don't do nearly as well because of loot greed, questioning my own calls, and lack of confidence when going into fights. Seeing someone play and highlight these small nuances is very helpful in polishing my game-play and improving on the small things. Thank you so much for this video, would also love to see some solo Loba no-fill game-play.
Honestly the party analogy really hit, there’s a reason I hate solo queuing after all lol
Bro I solo que often and I’m shook by your underutilization of grenades. So many lost fights by no nade usage. Nades are also awesome for confusion.
I've played a couple time and I was pretty proud of how I did and I definitely surprised myself with how well I did. I 1v3'd some squads but my problem with solo trios or duos is the stress man it can almost suck the fun out of the game lol. I do enjoy the challenge though and it definitely can get you better at certain aspects of the game.
Yeah it gets too stressful! 😅👍🏽
I beat a squad of three regularly enough, but for me it’s a team based game!
3 minutes in and I already learned something while other UA-camrs just rant about the same thing for 10 minutes
I only solo in trio. I'm a pro solo - I always get in top 5, usually top 3, 2nd place is very common, so here is my advice #1) Valkyrie #2) fly out after the last of teams have drop out #3) if you find yourself forced to drop with other teams, head for a jump tower and fly out (and some will chase you, so don't make it look like that's your intent until last second, then drop away, and fly up to jump tower - they don't have a weapon yet) #4) collect at least 1 ultimate accelerants (ideally 2), #5) stay away from direct fights - only 3rd party if you are at a distance and there is a way out or around the belligerents #6) never give away position until you know an acceptable route out of #7) get skin that camouflage, nothing fancy, use light green, easily hide, hard to see - all weapon skins dark/black/gray skins (or dirt brown/light greens) #8) don't be afraid to sit out the clock, waiting in the bushes (watch a UA-cam video while waiting), #9) no shame in hiding - if placing in 2 or 1st place is what you want #10) hiding is a whole different kind of skill, trust #11) you will get 1st place by luck - there times the last team(s) find themselves dying outside the ring closure - last ring(s) kill fast #12) have fun PS #13) new to game, use the Evac Towers - best deal is to have one, find another, use it, grab the new one you just found ;)
Thanks for the tips
the first game you could have used your arc star to finish off the kid you shredded but you didnt realize you had an arc star but i love this vid.
I am so glad this popped up today. I solo no fill because I usually regret the random experience. I use Valk as a crutch but I am working on Horizon or Ash instead.
I’d love to see another one of these but with crypto, maybe solo legend guides/tips!
They should make a solo mode where everyone is a solo that would be fun
This is good for when your team dies and you're the only one left when it's impossible to recall them back
I’ve never thought to use other teams like that. I usually just try to avoid everyone. Chaos is a ladder indeed.
Followed his instructions and my first game after this vid got a W. 6 kills with 1400 dmg. Goat level advice Dazs
Just here to write that playing Newcastle or Gib in a trio feels just like this, you can't run away from the team, you gotta fight, you gotta rotate around with a team that CANT defend you, you gotta make choices, and COMMIT.
VERY good and informative video
really appreciate the content. For those trying to learn this is really valuable information.
Maybe revenant guy knew you was solo by counting the kill feed, ggs brother I could watch you do 5 matches and talk through it like this every day honestly
I might be late to the party, but thanks for this! Started playing Apex recently (looking for safe haven from Overwatch 2) and I enjoy it so far but I can definetly improve!
This kind of video was really informative. Please make more like this.
OMG I am currently soloing with wattson because I want to get 1000 kills with her (as I barely play her) and searched up for solo tips and here you are doing Solo with wattson
29:42 no no, that's the right analogy.... for me anyways 😂.
eyyyy appreciate it
Thank you thank you thank you!!! You have so much amazing educational content and I’m so excited to get through everything and then apply it to my own play style and content. Much love!
I like playing games of no fill trios it gets your mind thinking about positioning and makes you think about your situation knowing that you don't have your tramates as a safety net
Thank you so much for this great guide! Your explanation is helping me a lot!
No fancy gameplay but only the reality of solo queue. 🤟 This will help me a lot when I solo Ranked.
Great tips! …It’s like a party…so relatable for me 😅
Wow very cool video! Such great info, also commentating over your game play is a great way to teach, it like a hands on approach and very unique compared to other apex YT channels. Thank you!
This video was so helpful! thanks a lot ♥
Path and octane be like “fences? What fences? I didn’t see any fences?”
Last round was my favorite honestly
I won my first duo no fill the other day as Wattson, but admittedly I just started playing no fill. If the lobbies you are getting are too hard, just quit playing for a while and come back. The games matchmaking system will try to keep you engaged and tracks how many hours you play before you quit and will give you easier lobbies when it's near the time you quit. If you endure sweaty lobbies for hours and hours, the game will keep giving you hard lobbies.
another legend that could be useful for teaching is crypto as the drone can get a cool area shot
After watching this video my 2nd game in my 60 hours of playing I finised 1st and 2k damage thanks!
Thank you, this helped me quite a lot
love this video thank you so much
29:46 😂😂 that was not a bad analogy
12:03 litterally what i was thinking as soon as you took the damage
This is super educational DAZ!!! More of these videos please !!! Still struggling haha
One of the most useful apex vids I've watched. Subbed!
I’ve been a Revenant main since season 4. Once I started doing solo no fill I instantly stopped playing him because I would get beamed so easily. His larger hit box never really affected me when I had a team on my side defending me, but as soon as I played by myself I just couldn’t escape the one mags
Who did you switch to for solo, no-fill?
Thank you Dazs, your advice, tips and tutorials really help me!
You a real Legend sir!! With pred dive trail and solo no fill with wattson is not going to be easy!!
thanks Dazs for your educ videos
Going into this knowing that I end many fights realizing I should have disengaged. Also, winning and losing a lot of head on fights that I should have been more tactical with. Hoping to learn some mindset changes!
in the first game you could've thrown your arc star and then dropped more to the right to hopefully catch the loba dodging the nade
Facts! I need to use my grenades better!
once again on that 1st game you played in, you had the chance to lead your push with a arc star but you decided to just jump at the player reviving and got killed. You always forget your nades Dazs lol
Hey Dazs, thank you so much, i just tried to start no filling and was kinda hesitant, but this will sure come in handy and it's a very helpful video, keep it up
I swear I have to watch this in season 17 because rank teammates suck now.
Dude this is so helpful.
Thank you so much
Would love to see more stuff like this
Really great video Dazs I enjoyed it and learned quite a bit bro
Really insightful. Im new to aplex and trying to learn. Thanks
Idk bro , I only play ranks , I go for the kill every time , it's disrespectful out here , your time half the time will run ' just one person ' in leave you just to hide until they get killed 😭 ranked is toxic 'im a typical diamond player 😔🤣😔 love your dedication & content for the Apex community tho ! Keep grinding ✊🦾
Thanks for the guide helped out quite a bit keep up the good content
When bad positioning pays off - revenant
At 7:10 u could’ve thrown ur arc to either force damage from height or force him to rotate from cover so u could poke and make for a better push good stuff tho
at 6:40 when u down the player behind cover u had an arc star you could of used it and force loba to leave cover or eat the arc star
I literally never do this but this video was so fucking good i had to sub
No way u liked this!!! Id love to play games with you :)
great video, learned a lot from game 3 thank you!
you should create more videos like this
I play in Australian servers as that’s where i live, and I gotta tell you, from all the games I’ve played and all the different countries servers I’ve played it in (usually because of friends who don’t live in Australia) Australia by far has the single lowest iq average players that I’ve ever seen. It’s truly mind blowing how both sweaty yet unbelievably stupid the people in these servers are. So as a byproduct of this, the ability to identify these people as teammates is abysmal. Their use as teammates simply doesn’t exist. So I basically only play solo. And yes, you can tell me that I play Solo too much and the teammates probably improved since then but the teammates in any game in Australian servers have been equally bad since early cod days they definitely aren’t improving any time soon. So videos like this are extremely useful
thanks for the guide, love it!
