Sometimes, there are games whose success comes out of the blue. These games sweep across our editorial office in no time and are constantly mentioned. It was Hearthstone at one point, then Clash of Clans. Now, there’s barely a day here in the office that Agar.io is not mentioned. Sure, it’s a hype, but we are enjoying it a lot. In our series of tips, we are giving you some advice on how to (hopefully) play successfully through the various stages of the game (check out how to survive as a small cell here). Keep in mind, however, that luck will always be at your side. For general tips, click here!
Phew, this one’s hard. Being a mid-sized cell is quite difficult in Agar.io. Pretty much all other cells will be your enemies when you’re neither small nor gigantic. When you split into smaller parts, you have to fear other mid-sized cells. When you remain as one, you have to fear the behemoths. What can you do to continue growing in size without being swallowed by an enemy? Well, in this stage of the game, you will need some luck. You also need to be at the right place at the right time. We recommend a few things. For one: Try to avoid hanging out at the sides of the map. Here, you basically lose one or even two directions in which you can flee, making you a much easier target for other players. Only split when you are pretty sure to catch another mid-sized player. Try not to be tempted to split when other bigger players are around, as you will most likely attract their attention.
Sometimes, we recommend making use of viruses. Observe those viruses that are slightly bigger in size. These have already been fed by other players. Feed them further to shoot them at bigger enemies when possible. Keep in mind that the fragmented behemoth will attract other cells who want their fair share of the cake.
Generally, it makes sense to split up quite often as a mid-sized cell, as this is the quickest way to grow in size. Your smaller parts will also grow quicker by eating the food that lies around. Take risks when necessary, but keep in mind that this is one of the hardest stages of Agar.io.
