How to Play Volley Star in NTE

Understanding the three skill categories is essential for success:

Serving Phase

This phase lets you hit the ball to the opposing team. You can toss or serve. Your serve success depends on your stats—lower stats mean a higher chance of failure. During the serve animation, you can choose the direction, so pay attention to the timing.

Receive/Attack

This category includes Pass, Spike, and Block. Use Pass to send the ball to a teammate, Spike to attack over the net, and Block to stop opponent spikes. To pass effectively, stand where the ball's shadow lands and press the skill. For blocking, move near the net and press Block to jump. Spike success depends on your character's skill level, so upgrades matter.

Spike Controls

When your teammate sets you up, you can choose between Tip, Spike, or Jump to deliver your attack. These options give you flexibility in how you approach scoring.

Additionally, you can enable auto-spike to automatically attack when the opportunity arises, and switch view to change the camera angle during matches.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Not earning Star Powers? Make sure you're playing Rookie Series, not other modes.
• Can't find Tournament Rewards? Look for the rewards menu within the Volley Star lobby.
• Skills not upgrading? Ensure you have enough Talent Bread and are selecting the correct character.
