Asphalt 9: Legends is the latest game in the very long-running Asphalt series by Gameloft for the iOS and Android platforms. This game contains much of what the previous ones did, only moreso – hyperrealistic graphics, real-life cars, and arcade-style push-button racing that’s easy to learn, yet hard to master. Plus, you can race against real opponents in real time. Read on for some tips and tricks for Asphalt 9: Legends!
If the game is still in soft-launch by the time that you read this article, you can play it the following way. First, you need to start a new Apple ID account in the Philippines. Pick a random address somewhere in the Philippines and put no payment method. This only works for a new account. You can download the game this way, but then the game won’t let you play unless you show as being in the Philippines, so use a VPN to play from a Filipino IP address or location.
Your main method of winning is by using nitro at the right time and drifting in order to refill your nitro boosts. Use the Pulse Nitro and the Perfect Nitro whenever you can in order to get an even better speed boost than the regular nitro boosts, but if you need to use nitro many times through a series of short straightaways, then just use the regular nitro more frequently. Drift as much as you can in order to keep your nitro built up, and use your nitro so that you can get more of it, and of course, come out ahead.
One trick that you can do with the drift button is to double-tap it to do a 360 spin. These are very difficult to pull off unless you have a lot of practice, and they will slow you down even if you execute them perfectly, but when you land one, you’ll get a huge boost in your nitro bar. Don’t bother with them in a close race or when you are in the lead, but if you are far behind and are trying to make a last-ditch effort at pulling ahead, then use your 360 spins to get large nitro boosts.
You’re going to need to earn a lot of packs in order to keep up on the upgrades, so set push notifications for the free packs every 4 hours so that you can reset the timer as often as possible, and buy the premium ad packs, which can be had with either coins or tokens. You will get blueprints, which will allow you to purchase upgrades. You’ll be able to upgrade your handling, top speed, acceleration, and your nitro.
Ad packs, of course, will help you earn coins, but if you need to earn fast coins, play old races to grind for them, and also, complete the tasksand achievements in order to earn both coins and tokens. And play in different game modes, such as the multiplayer and the events, in order to get a chance at winning even bigger awards.
