ollie& #39;s tips for practicing baby seers; a thread by a midtier eli main
-eli& #39;s ability sends out his owl (im calling her poppo) to find your teammates at the start of a match. depending on the size of said map, it can take her around 35-55 seconds to find everyone and return to your shoulder. thats nearly a whole minute where you& #39;re itemless.
-when poppo finds and circles a teammate, an eye symbol (pic below) will appear on said teammate& #39;s profile in the top right corner. the order of the eye symbols appearing corresponds to their distance from you-- so if perf& #39;s profile gets an eye symbol first, she& #39;s closest to you.
-maps that take poppo 35-40 seconds to circle, depending on the spawn points of your teammates: church, sacred, arms, asylum, eversleeping

-bigger maps like moonlit, lakeside and cave take a minimum of 55 seconds to circle, and thats if your spawns are already close together !!
-if you get caught before poppo can return to you: pick a god, pray n try not to eat a hit before she comes back !

-if you get caught with her already on your shoulder: try to fill the rage meter as much as possible before taking a first hit. that way you& #39;ll have the 1st poppo-
from game start, and a second one already close to loaded !!
-a rlly useful ping to bring if you& #39;re playing with randos/are not on vc is cipher machine primed !! eli can see the hunter for the first 5 seconds of a match, so a seer pinging cipher primed early game can mean 2 things:
>the hunter is a joseph-- quick, hide!
>the hunter--
can terrorshock or jumpscare in general (wu chang, dream witch)

-personally I use & #39;cipher primed& #39; for joseph and & #39;hunter is close hide& #39; for jumpscare hunters

-theres also a third code i use for when im teamed but no vc: & #39;the hunter has changed target, beware!& #39; for campers like-
soulweaver, guard 26 and feaster !!

*im not sure if randos will recognize what & #39;hunter is close& #39; and & #39;hunter changed target& #39; are codes for, but cipher primed is pretty well known among midtiers! if you have a team, work out some ping codes- it& #39;ll help you lots if you can& #39;t vc !!
on sending owls, for me at least !!

-if I& #39;m playing with randos, I owl after first save/if they ping help me
-if I& #39;m with friends in vc, i owl after first hit

IF U OWL AFTER 1ST HIT: to make the most of your spectate time, count to 8 and spec when you see them take a hit (5 if-
its a wuchang/bq/soulweaver/geisha bc they have good gap closer abilities).

IF U OWL AFTER 1ST SAVE: start ur spectate on the chaired person when you see/are told that the rescuer is in their sights. many hunters go for that instant save hit so unless they branch off to double--
hit the rescuer, owl the chaired person the second they& #39;re saved.

-IMPORTANT !!! IF THERES A MECHANIC ON THE TEAM, TRY YOUR BEST TO OWL AT FULL HEALTH-- YOU NEED TO DELAY HER INJURY DEBUFF FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. If there& #39;s a mecha on the team and someone pings hunter& #39;s near--
count to 3 and spectate them right away.

-dont be selfish with poppo !! I feel like this goes unsaid already, but if you& #39;re not first kite then poppo is going to the kiter. if you& #39;re sitting pretty on the cipher don& #39;t hoard her to yourself-- you& #39;re a support type for a reason.
!! on timing when owling yourself and others !!

-if you& #39;re not confident with your instaowl game yet, owl when you feel like the hunter& #39;s getting a liiiitle too close for comfort. if its a white wu don& #39;t let him get too close but ofc thats common knowledge by now!

-its okay if-
you don& #39;t instaowl all the time, just be wary of owling too early! if you owl too early there& #39;s a chance that the hunter will just wait for your poppo to fly off and use her protection time to close the gap quicker!

-don& #39;t be too discouraged while practicing! learning how to--
instaowl can take a lot of time and practice, let alone predicting blink and double hits but I promise you it& #39;ll pay off *so much* when you do learn !!

that& #39;s pretty much all the tips I have, goodluck baby elis !! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">
