Dunk City Dynasty Tips and Tricks to Dominate Your Opponents and Win Matches

Let’s begin!

Play From Anywhere and With the Best Experience on BlueStacks

Dunk City Dynasty was released only in the Philippines, which is a bummer considering it’s an excellent basketball game. Luckily, if you play Dunk City Dynasty on PC with BlueStacks, you can surpass this regional restriction and enjoy this game from anywhere in the world, simply by installing the game via APK.

However, there are many other benefits to playing on BlueStacks, such as getting access to the best graphics and visuals, as well as being able to play on your large computer monitor, instead of gaming on your cramped phone screen. Additionally, BlueStacks gives you access to a plethora of tools to further enhance your overall gaming experience, chief of which is the Keymapping Tool, through which you can play using the best keyboard and mouse controls, or even your gamepad.

Check out our BlueStacks usage guide for Dunk City Dynasty if you wish to learn other ways in which our Android app player can help to improve your experience.

Learn to Transition From Offense to Defense And Viceversa

Matches in Dunk City Dynasty are fast-paced and can switch from attack to defense in an instant. As such, you must always be prepared to transition to the appropriate roles as the situation demands. After all, there’s nothing worse than being caught flat-footed after a rebound, only to leave your mark wide open so they can dunk on you, or worse, so they can shoot a free three-pointer.

As a general rule of thumb, you always want to stay on top of your mark if you’re on the defense. You can always tell who you’re supposed to be marking since the enemy will always have a green cone underneath them, which represents their interference range. As long as you stay within this area, you’ll be blocking and interrupting the enemy’s moves and shots, respectively. 

On the flipside, the offense aspect in Dunk City Dynasty is more involved and complex, since it depends entirely on the character you’re currently using. As such, some players are better at driving and passing, while others are adept at dribbling and pushing through enemies to score. Similarly, some characters are better at shooting, while others are more adept at bobbing and weaving to set up layups with precision.

When it comes to scoring in Dunk City Dynasty, it all boils down to knowing your character. Speaking of which…

Study Your Favorite Characters Closely

Dunk City Dynasty is more like a MOBA than a traditional basketball game. As such, knowing what each character can do and what to expect from them will be pivotal not only for learning how to play them, but also in setting up plays with your teammates, as well as for learning how to defend against specific players. In other words, you need to learn about the characters’ passive and active skills, much like you would in games like Mobile Legends or League of Legends.

While your overall knowledge of basketball will come into play here, since it’s important to know about the different positions and their roles within their teams, knowing what each individual character can do is just as important. Luckily, we’ve already prepared an article about the different positions in basketball that will help you get familiarized with this topic. Similarly, we’ve also prepared a Dunk City Dynasty tier list where you can get an idea of most of the characters in this game as well as what they can do.

Play With Your Team

This one might sound fairly obvious, but it’s easy to forget that you have an entire team collaborating with you, especially when you’re handed the ball and have to think fast on how to proceed. The truth of the matter is that teamwork is crucial for winning in Dunk City Dynasty, especially if you’re playing a support character. While there are some positions that revolve more around playmaking, such as PG and C, there are specific characters that have skill sets more suited towards protecting the ball and setting up plays, even within more offensive positions like SG or PF.

This goes back, once again, to learning about what each player can do, in order to make full use of their kits and unleash their full potential. With that being said, if you’re looking for the best characters for playmaking and support roles, then we strongly recommend unlocking Jokic, Capela, or Doncic, among others.

Keep Your Characters Upgraded

Even though Dunk City Dynasty is a basketball game first and foremost, it also has important RPG elements, in the sense that you can take your unlocked characters and upgrade them to enhance their stats and skills. In this sense, even if you unlock top tier characters, you’ll still need to upgrade them if you want to optimize their performance.

There are several ways to upgrade your characters, with the most common of which being leveling them up. To achieve this, you can spend Training Drink items to level up your characters, which in turn will increase their base stats and make them better in the court. And once you reach the current level cap, you’ll need to spend Advanced Drill Tickets to increase their star level, which will boost their stats and increase their level cap.

As you progress through the game, you’ll also unlock the enhancement and partner categories, which will let you upgrade your players in other ways. Nevertheless, the important part is that you keep your characters as upgraded as possible at all times, especially if you’ve already selected a player as your main.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll have a better start in Dunk City Dynasty, and will be able to win most of your matches with ease. Feel free to share your own tips in the comments below!
