# Shoot

## Overview

When your team holds the ball, the Shoot button is your main tool for taking a shot at the net, and it gives you a lot of control over the game. Shooting requires strategy and skill, as you calculate the risk and reward of taking a shot. Score a bucket and earn points, but miss and risk losing possession of the rock. This is the primary skill-based mechanic in the game with a QTE (quick time event) when taking the action.

* Summary: An instant action that lets the player shoot the ball
* Category: Offensive
* Activate: Press and release Action Bar
* Key Boosts: Shooting (far shots) and Finish (Close Shots/dunks)

## **Blocking:**

Remember, the opposing team can block your shot, which adds a thrilling element of risk to the game. Blocking is button-based, and depends on the position of the opposing Kongs and their Defense Boost level.

* Is an opposing Kong within 2 meters of the ball's flight path (yes/no)
* What is the Defense Boost of the Kong in position? Kongs with high Defense have a better chance of blocking the ball.
* What is the Shooting / Finish Boost of the Kong shooting the ball? Kongs with high Shooting / Finish have an better time making a shot.
