The Professor's Rushing Tricks for DTM by ProfessorUtonium June 15, 2015 at 8:06 PM UTC

Hi. Utonium here, or as some of you might know me as, Seth!

I developed a couple of tricks I use depending on the situation

I will hopefully update this frequently:

Young Billy needs help mining these monuments while Snoozin and Steven5703 are defending!

But The Professor is here to help!

Simple Notes: The area inside the glass is supposed to be full of stone but i kept it like that to see some other techniques

#1
The Overhang

It's pretty simple and the name suggests it
Picture: http://imgur.com/uNTLQlM
What Defenses to use it on: Flat Defenses with some or no walls
Pros: 
1: You will hear blocks breaking if the enemy tries to reach you and attack
2: You will hear blocks being placed if the enemy tries to go up to your platform
3. If you're high enough, the Players can't hit you unless you stack up
Cons:
1: Players might see you when you stack up
2: Axes

How to do it:
1. Stack up while the players aren't looking while placing a wall in front of you so they can't shoot/see you
2. Create a pathway and walls towards the monument
3. Create a wood ring around the monument for less arrow snipes

Advanced:
Bring a Staircase to do this for less snipes that hit you: http://imgur.com/EDBGPAU



#2
The Double S
The Double S means: The Slab and The Staircase

Your Choice on which you use
Suggested: I use staircases because it is harder to see my player
Defense to use it on: A Box or a walled off defense
Pros:
1: Less Sight from Enemies to see you
2: Easy Stealth
Cons:
1: Enemies can see you breaking the block to place the slab or staircase

How to do it:
Create your own box on the side of the walled off monument and encase yourself around wood.
Break the Area towards the monument

Suggested: Bring an Axe to break the block faster

#3
The Facade
Ok so this is a trick i made but I never had a time to use it (so I'm sharing it with you guys)
It is called a Facade for multiple reasons
1. It creates a fake area for players to find you
2. It creates an illusion
Picture: http://imgur.com/gt7R35L
Defenses to use it on: Any (preferably far from spawn) 
Pros:
1. It creates 2 areas you might be at when mining the monument
2. You need to kill all the players defending to make it easier
Cons:
1. Axes
2. Diamond Defenders you need to kill
How to do it:
1. Kill off all the defenders defending
2. Create a box how normal players would mine it on the bottom and stack above the monument
3. Box yourself off at the top

#4
Spam (YUM)
Picture: http://imgur.com/HGxsUly (Glass = Wood)
What to use it on: Preferably encased monuments (walls) and monuments with low defenders
Pros:
1. Hide Inside wood you spam around the monument
2. Gives you more time to mine the monument with the wood spammed
Cons:
1. Low Efficiency (Easy To Counter: Slabs/PressurePlates/CraftingTables/Buttons)
2. Axes (Always)
How to do it:
1. Spam Blocks around the monument
2. Encase yourself

#5
Distraction
Video (no picture): https://youtube.com/watch?v=f7bf_N_fH64
What to use it on: Any Defense (preferably no walled)
Pros:
1. Ability to distract enemies with block sounds
Cons:
1. Hard to do
2. Hard to Explain
3. Hard to start
What to do:
1. Find an area where you can hide from the enemy but at the same time place blocks away from you
2. Place blocks when you can and distract the enemy.
3. If the enemy goes to an edge, knock them off. If they go underground, stack up to the top

#6
Ninja
What defense to do it on: Multi Layered Defenses
Pros:
1. Ability to pick off enemy players one by one
2. Stealth
Cons:
1. Hard to do
2. Diamond Armor Defenders
What to do:
1. Go underground
2. Spleef 1 enemy at a time below you and kill them
3. Once you kill all of them, stack up and mine
Note: This is a test maneuver. I have never tried this
