You are the substitute.

The swapper is able to swap places with a nearby enemy every 20 seconds. The enemy that is swapped has absorption 2 applied for three seconds. The swapper is a team based ganking class that is best suited for players moving in groups and can be used to bring enemies to a location or bring yourself to a more advantageous position once held by your enemy.

  • The Swapper comes with basic tools and music disc for swapping. Swaps your position with that of the enemy. You must be standing on solid ground in order to make the swap.
  • Right click with the "Swapper" within a range of 16 blocks from a player to commence it. Once swapped both you and the enemy get 4 absorption hearts for 5 seconds. The enemy also gains 8 seconds of no fall damage, so beware.


Pros

  • Gain a higher position that the enemy is occupying, like swapping a defender off of his wall.
  • Use the slowness to run from the enemy or jump around him.
  • Gain 4 absorption hearts for a few seconds when you swap.


Cons

  • Both you and the enemy can be confused about where you end up.
  • Absorption may be beneficial to the enemy.
  • Only the enemy will gain no fall damage.

Tips and Tactics

  • Drag people out of bases (normally mid-bases) allowing your teammates to attack the victim also allowing you to attack unprepared enemies (works best with archers).
  • Teleport past walls and pits made to defend the enemy nexus.
  • Teleport enemies that try to run away such as scout.
  • Get in a group of teammates and rush somewhere. the swapper can swap, while the teammates kill the person. keep in mind that said person can not run away, due to the slowness 2 applied when swapping.
  • There are diverse designs of Swapper traps. Usually the Swapper builds itself into some solid blocks and leaves a whole, which he uses to swap the enemy into his old position. The varriations are known as: Wool Swapper trap aka regular trap, sand Swapper trap aka suffocation trap and cobweb Swapper trap aka ironfence trap.
