Mastering the Superstar Classes
Each of your Superstars necessarily represents a specific Class. In simple terms, class determines the traits possessed by your Superstar. Before handpicking your superstars for playing in the PVP modes, you must first identify which ones are characteristically stronger from your roster. Taking about Superstar classes can be broadly classified into six types:
1. Brawler (Represented by Fist Symbol)
- Superstars that conduct takedowns and mounted punches in the ring are known as brawlers.
- With their impromptu maneuvers and moves, they make the game extremely chaotic and interesting.

Explaining the Fighting Moves in WWE Mayhem
By fighting moves, we mean the basic Attacking and Defensive (Guard) move that is there in your armory. Let us know how to launch or initiate these moves with the in-game mechanics available:
1. Light Attack
The simplest yet the most effective of all attacks. To launch a light attack, one needs to just tap on their opponent. The majority of the time, you should employ this to immediately strike your adversary. Light assaults happen quickly, and because you tap quickly, you can develop special energy more quickly. When you execute this fighting maneuver, you will receive 2 or 3 more strikes.
2. Block
Another move that one needs to use more often and in the initial phases of the game. To block an attack from an opponent, one simply needs to tap and hold the left edge of the screen. When you block blows, your adversary becomes fatigued for a brief period of time, allowing you plenty of opportunity to counterattack with their special move.
3. Strong Attack
A move that you must refrain from launching frequently. However, it can be a useful addition to your armory if calculatively used. Swipe right on your screen. for harder attacks, It takes a few seconds to perfection, thereby allowing your opponent plenty of opportunity to launch a counterattack. The HP of your opponent will be depleted considerably more quickly, though, if you manage to execute a powerful assault in time. It all comes down to timing, and if you do it correctly, you can succeed.
WWE Mayhem Beginners Guide: Tips and Tricks
Here are some of our bonus tips in our WWE Mayhem beginners guide for players to get a hang of how to use their resources wisely, upgrade and level up their superstars and choose the best strategy in PVP matchmaking. What follows next are some useful tips and tricks from our experience of playing the game.
1. Resource Management
Resource Management is an important aspect from any game’s point of view. Especially in a game like WWE Mayhem where there are a variety of resources to handle, players need to be extra calculative when it comes to collecting their resources and managing the same.
- Refrain from spending level-up resources on your one-star superstars. Leveling items are a pretty scarce resource in WWE Mayhem and you will have to do a hell lot of grind to get a hold of them. However, this is easier said than done since you will have only one-star wrestlers.
- You need to utilize them in the Story Mode initially to level up and get your hands on new wrestlers and modes. So, level them up only till the point it can be done without investing class-specific resources. There is absolutely no use wasting your class-specific resources on wrestlers who are rated below two stars.
- The game provides ample resources as login rewards weekly. So, make sure you are logging in each day of the week so as not to miss out on these resources.
2. Look to cash on the Versus mode for better exposure and Rewards
As we have discussed earlier, Versus mode is an online Player Versus Player tag team or 1V1 game mode where you are matched against users online. Since it is an online mode, it’s more competitive. More competition is directly proportional to greater exposure and more rewards.
Besides having match rewards, the Player versus Player Tag team event additionally rewards users with bonus rewards on completing certain milestones or even as they go up the leaderboards. These milestones reward users with loads of Gold Bars, Cash, weights, and 2-star Lootcase Keys that can earn them their dream superstars, level them up and get other exchangeable items from the in-game Shop section. Hence, make sure you are unlocking this mode as soon as possible and capitalizing on it.
3. Play Events to grow strategically
Playing Events is like checking two boxes at the same time. The Event mode serves as a preparatory mode in assisting as you look to establish your position on the leaderboard. Before switching over to higher difficulty modes, we suggest you get your hands on the Events provided they are available at that juncture.
Besides ticking that preparatory box, events also guarantee you a huge chunk of rewards in the form of loot cases and level-up items. The repetitive nature of these events ensures that you can get back the exact level-up items every time you play. So, make sure to capitalize on this section so as to stack up ample Level-up resources.
4. Pair up a Strong Attack with two consecutive Light Attacks
Previously, we have talked about two kinds of offensive moves that are there in your armory. Using a combination of Light and Strong Attacks can somewhat negate the risks associated with launching a Strong Attack. When you launch a Strong Attack, your opponent will dash forward in a quest to distance themselves from you.
If you pair up a Strong Attack with two consecutive Light Attacks, you are denying your opponent that scope thereby leaving him overwhelmed. Similarly, in the vice versa scenario when there is an incoming attack from your opponent, perform two Light Attacks followed by a Strong attack. Combining up your attacks makes them an overpowered tool.
5. Heavily rely on Guarding as a weapon in the initial seasons
Attacks that are blocked add a little amount of damage to your wrestler’s HP level thereby bringing that down a bit. However, one must continue to use the Block tool until they block a Strong or Special Attack from the opponent. This would stun your opponent and earn you those extra seconds to go for an Offensive move or even a Special move if the HP meter of your opponent drastically goes down.
6. Master the art of Parrying
Even though the Block move is a highly powered move in WWE Mayhem, parrying can be even more effective in bringing down the meter of your opponent. Parrying can thereby get you extra time to fire at your opponent with an offensive move than blocking. Even though Blocking would suffice in the initial seasons, we suggest you master the art of parrying simultaneously, by trying it in the offline modes and then use it sometimes in place of blocking immediately before going for an Offensive action.
7. Know when to use a Special Move
If you notice your game screen carefully, there is a Special Move meter that is displayed during the match for you and your opponent both. If your opponent is overwhelmed by your combo moves or blocks his Special Move meter goes down.
Charge in with your special move only when the Special Move meter of your opponent is down or your meter level reads higher than him/her. This would completely rule out any chances of receiving a Special Attack in return and guarantee a win for you.
8. Use Health kits when the HP level of your wrestler drops
The HP level that your wrestler loses from the attacks sustained in a particular game, is not restored automatically. To play him/her in the next game, you must either bench him/her or refill his HP level. Failing to do so does not allow you to use your Superstar at its full potential.
Health Kits must be used in this scenario, to restore their HP levels. However, as we iterated earlier, resources are limited. If your wrestler has sustained a negligible drop in his/her HP level, it won’t have a massive impact on your next game. Feed him/her Health kits only when the HP level drops to 50% or below.
9. Pick Superstars based on their Class Strength
We have already discussed Superstar Classes in an earlier section. If you go through that section carefully, you will realize that each Class of superstars is effective against some other class. If you pick a Superstar with a stronger class than your opponent, your Superstar would be entitled to receiving a boost in his/her stats in this scenario and vice versa. Hence, make sure you are picking Superstars based on their Class Strength.
10. Pick Complementing players in the Story Mode games
To give your team a competitive advantage in story-mode battles, you must assign each member to the appropriate class and develop team synergy. Go to Superstars, tap a character, and then tap on Synergy in the bottom-left corner of the screen to find out which character best complements each member of your squad.
