Fortnite Terms

Greyside

Side or area of build that is harder to grab to reset an edit, due to more open space and less materialized build real estate. To LEFT CORNER- make sure greys are on left side

Mirror Rule

Since boxes mirror, when goin into another box through edit and turning around, the edit will be on the opposite side as it was when compared to the box you were in. It doesn't matter what direction you turn and look at it or try to grab it, it'll be in the same place, the opposite of where it was previously. Greysides and jelled sides switch If a side is open/grey, same side will be to close/real estate to grab edit

Square Rule

Since every build piece has the same perimeter sizing, every piece has equal potential to become a box. Fortnite maps/islands can be broken down into x amount of possible boxes (where x is a random variable depending on overall size) This means typically anywhere you can build, you can turn it into a box, if it's cutoff by a hill or something, additional box pieces will connect same way/distance/with same perimeter/base so going up or down a layer may provide a full box

R.E.G.Block (1/3rd Surprise)

Standing 1/3rd from front of box will disable an opponent from being able to R.E.G. You will automatically be phasing at this point (they can't edit) so make sure to shoot first, Front foot on metal bolt, half broken wood stick, dark brown wood, or before small wooden gap

Landing Layer

A layer a player lands on which will need to have its sides walled off/sideblocked/ squared off/ thwifo'd/ etc. before continuing in order to stay safe. Useful when tunneling after quickly changing position. IE rotating top ramp of double ramp into a tunnel or doing a dash into a tunnel. Can turn a dangerous rotation move into a highly effective and technical one

Has a certain tempo and looks effortless when performed properly. Needs a lot of left right mouse movement with downward dip inbetween *May be used to dash continuously

Instant box advantage

If opponent doesn't have ramp or cone real estate in their box, one can gain box advantage by TAKING WALL, EDITING IT OPEN, PLACING RAMP/or cone, EDITING RAMP/or cone, switching wall edit and/or taking shots. One can chase an opponent in this manner and keep gaining playable real estate

Playback builds/layer

Jumping up or up and over mid ramp to gain an extra layer without moving forward. Similar to backend side jump, good for creating angles and distance

You can't stay in a box in which an opponent has real estate and also has/has placed trap(s). If opponent is slow and doesn't use traps, it may be possible to challenge even when they have real estate in your box. You must focus on shots/positioning in this case. REG-Loss does not mean the fight is lost or death is inevitable

RunTun

IE 4 square ramp edit in opponents box or ramp above you, Back Bend in Reverse/half ramp to reverse full) People may see your pencil and that builds are out, but they can't see that you've selected! Its important to note that it's unnecessary to reset edit when using this method.
