General Tips

Agario Tips Cheats Strategies
  • You can split your orbs in order to try and quickly absorb smaller, faster orbs around you. However, it takes time to reform your whole orb, after a split, so be cautious of splitting when larger opponents are lurking around.
  • Always gauge the size of your prey before you target it with a split-grab. I’d advise that unless you are 100% certain that you’ll instantly absorb the other orb, to refrain from gambling, and risking splitting into a smaller cell, just to have your prey absorb your split up orbs.
  • Keep in mind that splitting can be used as an escape mechanism. If you find yourself about to be absorbed, you can split and run away with the half which you jettisoned out. Think of it as a little escape pod.
  • There are green, spiky orbs floating around throughout the play field. These will forcibly split any orbs that come into contact with it. When you’re tiny, use these obstacles to shelter yourself from larger players. Stay close to them and venture out to snatch up any idle non-player orbs that respawn in the vicinity.
  • The play field in Agar.io isn’t infinite, there are walls to box the players in. Use the walls and corners to your advantage. Corner a player and just when they think they might make a breakaway, split and cut off their path entirely.
