Getting Better at TetroWars

The Basics

  1. Keep your stack flat - avoid holes and uneven surfaces
  2. Build a well - leave one column empty for I-piece Quads
  3. Use Hard Drop - much faster than waiting for pieces to fall
  4. Use Hold - save pieces for when you need them
  5. Look at the Next Queue - plan 2-3 pieces ahead

Common Mistakes

  • Stacking too high
  • Creating holes (every hole costs time to fix)
  • Ignoring T-Spins (worth more than regular clears)
  • Not using Hold

Improving Your Speed

  1. Lower DAS to 100-120ms
  2. Set ARR to 0ms
  3. Set SDF to Instant
  4. Practice Sprint mode
