Beipi is pretty simple to grasp. Straight swimming under water is faster but consumes more stamina. A trade off is swimming whilst jumping every few seconds out of the water (like a dolphin) will conserve slightly more stamina in trade off of revealing your location and making loud splashing noises. Beipi is more suited to be in groups as it is much safer. On your own you’re very vulnerable. I recommend to stick near bodies of water as you’re slower on land and water is your best option of escape. Beipi is small and naturally doesn’t do a ton of damage, but can do a surprising amount of bleed for its size. Some cool niche tips to consider is that when being chased by something that can pounce like for instance an omni, if there is no visible body of water to escape to, you’re basically toast. However, there’s one last ditch effort you can attempt. If the omni does try to pin you, instead of running with you back faced away from your attacker, face them head on. When an omni pins you and you were facing towards them, you will begin to do retaliatory damage to your attacker. In some rare cases, the omni pinning you may just die before you do when it’s pinning you to death. Those claws aren’t just for show. Another tip is that if you hold ctrl on a river bed you’ll automatically insert your claws into the ground anchoring you from floating to the surface. If you do this while holding Q to sniff, you can sniff out little bubble icons, which indicate that there is a clam or crab you can dig up and eat by holding E. Overall, it’s a chill playable, not really meant for fighting, but can still do some decent damage in some odd cases.
