I suggest only going out 2 ramps, and then placing a wall towards the original 1x1.
Here I am just going to give a couple easy tips and techniques that are helpful when in build fights/you need to build. #1- The double wall & ramp technique: building 4 walls around you can take a lot of time and use up all of your materials. If you often get caught under another player after they build up twice as fast as you do, consider using this tip (NOT FOR LONG TERM BASES). To do this, simply place two perpendicular walls in front of you, and then a ramp (switch the direction of the ramp back and fourth every layer you go up) Visual: Imagine you are the ` and are against a player in the bottom right of your screen. |_` Build walls in that formation and then place a ramp, so that you only have to place 2 walls instead of four, and barely have to turn. Many people already know this, and yes, it is a basic tip. #2- The double ramp technique. If you get in a build fight and happen to lose the high ground, many time you will be directly under a player. This tip works best when a player if right above you, and they will be unable to see/shoot you at all. Place a normal ramp out from the 1x1, and then one above you as well. As you go, continue placing ramps above and below you. This makes it impossible to see you, and they have to shoot through 2 ramps to knock you down. I suggest only going out 2 ramps, and then placing a wall towards the original 1x1. From here, you can play a another ramp and then push back towards them.
