Having a strong teammate on your side will discourage the cells from the majority team to overlap you (because they might lose the battle if your teammate feeds you).

If you're big and find another big teammate, try to stick together, or at least remember in which direction your teammate has gone in case you're in trouble. Also, don't hesitate to throw a virus if one of them get too close. The big cells from the majority team won't follow you in a virus forest, that's too risky for them.

Also, if you find a forest of viruses, remember where it is, and come back to it in case you're chased, before you're surrounded. When all cells are on you, ready to overlap you, a way to survive (longer or even escape sometimes) is to stay between 2 cells of the dominant team, avoiding the viruses and the cells that can split-kill you. While they are busy with you, your teammates can grow their mass more peacefully, and you'll benefit from this when you restart. If you're big (1K+) in a dominated team, you'll be chased as soon as they see you. Be ready to sacrifice yourself for the team (if you're small, that's not a big deal).

The most efficient thing you can do to help a teammate, is to send a virus to explode its chasers. They're chased by many cells from the dominating team, and they won't survive very long without your help. If you're small, try to grow your mass, but most importantly, help the few of your teammates who managed to get big (1K+). This is your best chance to get a fair mass (1K+, this is usually called a 'breakthrough'). Always keep an eye on over-splitted cells from the majority team. If you're in the minority team(s), things are quite different. They collaborate more and more until they can make a come back. The cells start to know each other after a while, and a sort of friendship emerges between them. To the contrary, the team spirit in the dominated teams tends to grow little by little. Also after a while dominating, the team spirit (helping each others, rewarding those who helped you) is going away little by little. Because some cells from the majority team get bored, leave dead cells on the map (easy food for the opponents), or make mistakes (split too much), there's always a breakthrough happening (a cell from the minority team getting big). Keeping a map dominated for a long time (1 or 2 hours) is very difficult. Most people think that playing in the dominating team is easier than playing in the minority teams. This happens only at the end of a map (closing map, when no more new cells are accepted). In several instances, one team has completely wiped out the other teams, controlling 99-100% of the mass. So a common technique to eat a 1K+ cell, is to overlap the cell, and wait for your teammates to feed you until you can absorb it. Unfortunately, very few cells will be able to split-kill a 1K+ cells. Many big cells from the dominating team will chase it. From time to time, a big cell (1K+) from the minority teams will emerge (often after eating an over-splitted cells from the majority team). Be very careful to this, as this is exactly the kind of mistake the cells from the minority teams are waiting for to grow their mass. That can be quite frustrating, so we see many players splitting a lot to catch small cells. If you're in the dominating team (with more than 75% of the mass), there will be very little opposition to eat. The strategy in team mode depends a lot on how good your team is doing. However, slight shade variations of each team color exist for variety. Skins are not available in this game mode to prevent color confusion. The objective is to work together with the assigned team to dominate the map by defeating the other two teams.Ī cell cannot eat its teammates in this mode, nor can go through them. This way the team gets more players to catch up with the dominant team. Whichever team a cell is assigned to depends on which team has the least mass. In this mode there are three teams: blue, green and red. Teams Mode is one of the four currently available game modes.
