How to Win Badminton

Dictate the pace of the match

Attempt to dictate the pace of the match in your favor. Make the opposing team keep on moving from left to right and wait for the opportunity to smash.

Aim your shots on uncovered areas and execute a variety of attacks. This makes you and your team unpredictable.

Hit the shuttlecock perfectly

Make sure to hit the shuttlecock (smash) at the perfect in order to execute a strong smash. Otherwise, randomly hitting the shuttlecock will make your attack a weak return.

In addition, missing to hit the shuttlecock will make your character fall to the ground. This leaves you open from opposing smashes of drop shots.
