DriftBoss Tips

01Block by jumping late, not early — the shot animation is slower than it looks.
02The super shot is best used from your own half, where it is hardest to defend.
03Stay between your opponent and the basket rather than chasing the ball.
04Short taps for a soft shot near the hoop; hold for range.
