Timebomb Duels Ping & Hitbox Guide
Ping vs Hitbox Feel
Players often say hitboxes are broken when ping is high. Tags are contact-based with network latency — your client and opponent client disagree slightly on positions. Low ping aligns registrations; high ping causes whiffs and ghost tags.
Enable Performance Stats
Roblox Settings → Performance Stats → watch Network Ping during matches. Pro video guides demonstrate toggling this overlay. Correlate bad rounds with ping spikes before blaming mechanics.
Server Hopping Workflow
Leave server, rejoin different region/instance, compare ping overlay. Repeat until stable under your personal threshold (many competitors target under 100ms).
Intentional Hitbox Play
360 spins briefly shift model position relative to touch detection tick rate — legitimate skill, not netcode exploit. Use sparingly at close range.
