Ronaldo: Kick’n’Run Football Beginners Guide: Tips and Tricks
Here is a bonus section in our Ronaldo: Kick’n’Run Football Beginners Guide for budding surfers and soccer enthusiasts to be a champ in this title and climb up the online leaderboard in no time. What follows next, are some useful tips and tricks from our experience of playing the game.
1. Log in every 4 hours to capitalize on the free Penalty kick
On their home screen, players will come across the Penalty Kick section. This section is more of a freebie section where you can take a penalty kick with Ronaldo every 4 hours. The best part is, that there would be no one to defend the goal. Loads of prizes including power-up items, in-game Tickets, and a handful of cons would be lined up for you inside the goal box and a cursor would speedily navigate through those rewards.
You need to time your tap such that it coincides with the cursor while it navigates through the reward you would wish to earn from that kick. Ronaldo will be kicking exactly in that location where you stop the fast-navigating cursor.
You can take two penalty kicks every 4 hours, one free, and one after watching an ad. So, make sure you are capitalizing on this section and not missing out on the freebies, as you will be requiring loads of coins to enter the online multiplayer mode, and tickets as well to quickly revive the soccer star in the multiplayer modes especially.
2. Capitalize on the Daily Challenges to earn Coin rewards
Similar to the popular Endless Runner title, Subway Surfers, Ronaldo: Kick’n’Run Football, comes with Daily Challenges wherein, you have to collect certain alphabets while you are running down the streets with Ronaldo and complete a word.
Upon completing, the Daily Word Challenge, plenty of in-game Coins will be awarded each day as a reward. So, make sure you are playing the regular/offline mode daily, as well as completing the Daily Word Challenge to capitalize on the rewards.
3. Do not miss out on any scoring opportunity while running
Since this endless runner title comes with a combined package of running and soccer, make sure that you are not missing out on any scoring opportunity while on the run. A dead-end Sign would often show up on your way. That is precisely your target/goal. You must tap on your screen once this sign shows up to score a goal.
Make sure that you are tapping on your screen whenever this shows up on your way or else you will crash into it and the run will come to an end. Even if you see that this sign is showing up on a parallel lane, switch to that lane by swapping in that direction to maximize your goal scoring, especially in multiplayer matches where you need to score as many goals as possible during your time-limited run.
4. Avoid tackles from rival players by switching paths at the very last moment
As you run down the streets, rival players would look to end your run by tackling/colliding with you. After frequent intervals, you will find a rival player running towards you from the opposite direction. Make sure that you switch tracks at the very last moment to get past his defense.
Ideally, the rival player coming towards you would be visible from a distance. If you bow out of that path and move to a parallel track/lane immediately, then your rival player will get enough time to switch tracks and block your way.
So, delay your move till the last moment and swap to the left/right direction only when the rival player is near or has already started to perform a sliding tackle. This would deny him any chance of switching over to another track/lane and blocking your way.
5. Utilize Special Power-Up Items whenever available
With the help of unique equipment that can be found throughout your run along the streets, you can kick and bash your way through obstacles and rack up tonnes of points.
This will help you progress in the online multiplayer leaderboards, get new equipment, and, in the end, become a global football or soccer celebrity. So, make sure that you keep swapping lanes and collecting these booster items.
