Mastering the tag system is crucial for success, whether you’re playing against the AI or battling your friends. So, let’s get started and turn you into a tag team champion!
Understanding the Basics of Tagging
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let’s establish the fundamental concepts of tagging in Wrestling Revolution. This is your foundation, and it’s essential to get it right from the start.
The Tag Button: Your Gateway to Teamwork
The first thing to understand is the tag button. This is your primary tool for swapping wrestlers. The specific button varies depending on your platform (mobile, PC, etc.), but it’s typically a prominent button on the screen or keyboard. Find your tag button and get comfortable with it; you’ll be using it a lot.
Tagging Rules: When Can You Tag?
Tagging isn’t always available. There are specific rules you need to follow:
- Your partner must be in the corner: This is the most crucial rule. Your partner needs to be standing in their designated corner to be tagged in.
- You must be close to your partner: You need to be relatively close to your partner in your corner to initiate the tag.
- No illegal tags: There are some situations where tagging isn’t allowed, such as if the referee is distracted or if the match rules specify no tags.
Referee Awareness: The Third Man in the Ring
Pay attention to the referee. The referee plays a crucial role in tag team matches. They enforce the rules, count pinfalls, and can get in the way. If the referee is distracted, it might open a window for illegal actions or a sneak attack.
The Controls: Mastering the Tag
Let’s break down the controls for tagging, as this is the core mechanic of tag team wrestling in Wrestling Revolution. The controls are relatively simple, but understanding them is key to executing your strategy.
Mobile Controls
On mobile, the tag button is usually displayed prominently on the screen. It is typically a button located near the movement controls or the attack buttons. Tap the tag button when your partner is in the corner and when you’re close to them to initiate the tag.
Pc Controls
The PC controls are usually mapped to a keyboard. The default tag button is often the ‘T’ key, but you can usually customize the controls in the game’s settings. Test your tag button before you get into a match to avoid any confusion.
Practice Makes Perfect
The best way to get comfortable with the controls is to practice. Start a simple tag team match against the AI and focus on tagging in and out. Get a feel for the timing and positioning. The more you practice, the more natural it will become.
Developing Tag Team Strategies
Tagging is more than just pressing a button; it’s about strategy. Effective tag teams have a plan. Let’s explore some common strategies you can use in Wrestling Revolution.
Offensive Strategies
Offensive strategies are all about putting your opponents on the defensive and controlling the pace of the match.
- Quick Tags and Double-Teaming: This is a fundamental strategy. Tag in, hit a quick move, and tag out. Repeat this to wear down your opponent.
- Setting Up Double Team Maneuvers: Coordinate with your partner to perform double-team moves. These are often more powerful and can lead to a pinfall.
- Isolating an Opponent: Target one wrestler and keep them isolated in the ring. This prevents them from tagging out and allows you to wear them down.
Defensive Strategies
Defensive strategies are about protecting your partner and yourself from harm. (See Also: How To Exercise For Arm Wrestling )
- Saving Your Partner: Tag in to break up a pinfall or save your partner from a submission hold.
- Drawing the Referee’s Attention: If your partner is in trouble, try to distract the referee to give your partner a chance to recover.
- Strategic Tagging Out: Tag out when you’re injured or when your opponent has the momentum.
Mixed Strategies
The most effective tag teams combine offensive and defensive strategies.
- The ‘Hot Tag’ Strategy: Your partner is getting beaten up. You’re fresh and ready to go. You get the hot tag, come in with a flurry of attacks, and turn the tide of the match.
- The ‘Trading Blows’ Strategy: Both teams trade blows, tagging in and out frequently to keep the energy high.
- The ‘Control and Dominate’ Strategy: Isolate one opponent, wear them down, and prevent them from tagging out.
Advanced Tag Team Tactics
Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you can start experimenting with advanced tactics to gain an edge.
Timing Is Everything
Pay attention to the momentum of the match. Tag in when you have the advantage and tag out when you’re in trouble. The timing of your tags can make or break your strategy.
Communication Is Key (even Without Words)
Even if you’re playing against the AI, you can still develop a sense of communication with your partner. Pay attention to their actions. If they’re setting up a move, anticipate and support them.
Using the Environment
Wrestling Revolution offers environments that can be used to your advantage. Use the ropes, turnbuckles, and outside the ring to your advantage. Double-team moves, like Irish whips, into the turnbuckle can be devastating.
Exploiting Weaknesses
Identify your opponents’ weaknesses. Do they have a weak submission game? Target them with submission holds. Are they slow? Use quick strikes and tag team maneuvers to wear them down.
The Role of Special Moves and Finishers
Coordinate your special moves and finishers. If you and your partner have finishers, try to set up a double-team finisher for a guaranteed pinfall.
Tag Team Chemistry: Building a Winning Partnership
The best tag teams have chemistry. They understand each other, anticipate each other’s moves, and work together seamlessly. Here’s how you can build that chemistry in Wrestling Revolution.
Playing with a Friend
The best way to build chemistry is to play with a friend. Communicate, strategize, and learn from each other. Over time, you’ll develop a natural understanding of each other’s wrestling style.
Playing with the Ai
Even when playing with the AI, you can still build a sense of teamwork. Observe how your AI partner fights. Anticipate their moves and try to support them. You’ll soon learn their tendencies.
Experimenting with Different Wrestlers
Try different wrestler combinations. Some wrestlers have better compatibility than others. Experiment to find a partnership that works well for you.
Adaptability
Be adaptable. The best tag teams can adjust their strategy based on their opponents and the flow of the match. Don’t be afraid to change your approach if something isn’t working. (See Also: How To Be More Explosive In Wrestling )
Common Tag Team Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced players make mistakes. Knowing what to avoid can make a big difference.
Poor Tagging Timing
Don’t tag in at the wrong time. Tagging in when you’re vulnerable can lead to a quick defeat. Wait for the right opportunity.
Neglecting Your Partner
Don’t focus solely on yourself. Tag team wrestling is about teamwork. Support your partner and work together to win.
Ignoring the Referee
Pay attention to the referee. Ignoring the referee can lead to disqualification or missed opportunities.
Over-Reliance on One Strategy
Don’t get stuck in a rut. Be prepared to change your strategy based on your opponents and the flow of the match.
Lack of Communication
Even when playing with the AI, communication is important. Try to anticipate your partner’s moves and support them.
Mastering Tag Team Match Types
Wrestling Revolution offers various tag team match types. Understanding the specific rules of each match type is crucial for success.
Standard Tag Team Match
This is the most common match type. The rules are simple: tag your partner, wear down your opponents, and score a pinfall or submission.
Steel Cage Tag Team Match
The steel cage adds a new dimension to the match. You can’t escape the ring, and the walls provide opportunities for brutal attacks. Use the cage to your advantage.
Ladder Match
In a ladder match, the objective is to retrieve a championship belt hanging above the ring. Coordinate with your partner to set up the ladder and retrieve the belt.
Elimination Tag Team Match
In an elimination match, teams are eliminated one by one until only one team remains. Focus on eliminating one opponent at a time.
Triple Threat Tag Team Match
This match features three teams. It can be chaotic, so it’s essential to stay aware of your surroundings and the actions of all teams. Watch for opportunities to take advantage of the chaos. (See Also: How To Make Someone Tap Out In Wrestling Revolution )

My Partner Isn’t Tagging
If your partner isn’t tagging, make sure they are in the corner and close to you. Check your controls to ensure you are pressing the correct button.
I Can’t Tag
If you can’t tag, check the referee’s position and the match rules. Make sure you are not in a situation where tagging is illegal.
I Keep Getting Beaten Up
If you’re getting beaten up, tag out when you can. Focus on defensive strategies and try to wear down your opponents.
My Ai Partner Is Doing Stupid Things
Unfortunately, the AI isn’t perfect. Try to adapt to your AI partner’s actions and support them as best as you can. Sometimes, the best strategy is to carry the team.
