Take Advantage of Trick Shots

Doing the twirls and flips and releasing the ball as you do them enables you to perform two trick shots in Knockout City. The first is a curveball which allows you to throw the ball around corners and objects to hit enemies who are unreachable with a normal throw. The second is a lob which can clear objects vertically and can be used to hit enemies that are out of your line of sight, but you know where they are positioned. Using these two moves chained together with a fake pass will make you very unpredictable. Use trick shots to your advantage whenever the opportunity presents itself.
