Agar.io is a game in which cells and viruses are targeted and you have to be careful to not get eaten. Here is a guide on how to be good at it.

Part 1 of 4:

The Basic Steps

  1. 1
    Avoid others at first. When you first join the game, you are going to be small. As such, avoid people and try to eat just the cells that are not players.
  2. 2
    Hide. If someone big is chasing you, hide in the green spiky circles. These are called viruses.
    • If you are bigger than the virus, you will split, so make sure to only do this when you are small.
    • If the player that is chasing you is smaller than the virus, or the same size, then this will not work.

  3. 3
    Get about 300 points. This is where it's recommended that you begin chasing other players. Be careful, though, as you cannot eat cells that are larger than your own cell.

Other strategies

  1. 1
    Lure smaller players into boundaries and trap them so that you can eat them.
  2. 2
    Press W and when smaller players go after your ejected mass, you can "unexpectedly" kill them.
  3. 3
    If you find a Mother Cell in your game, you can let other people feed it. Then just collect the food it produces without you having to eject mass.
  4. 4
    Aim to lure bigger players into viruses. However, they probably won't fall for it.
    • You can get about 120 mass and stay still directly over a virus thus hiding the virus, and wait for a bigger player to try to eat you. They will explode and you will get huge instantly.

Community Q&A

  • Question
    How can I stop the cell from moving?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You can if you put your cursor in the middle of the cell, but it will still inch forward slowly. It takes a few tries to get your cell to stay still. I only stay still when I'm in a virus, because if you are out in the open, it makes you easy prey.
  • Question
    How do I get away from a very big cell that can split?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you're small, you have speed as your advantage. And if you want, you can split to make you move farther away, but note that this decreases your mass.
  • Question
    After I split, how do I become one again?

    There's no way to merge on command. Wait approximately 30 seconds and you should come back together.

Warnings

  • Don't always trust people with names as "W = team"; sometimes they do not press W back and just eat you instead.

  • Don't fall for people that say 'Ctrl+R=Speed" etc., these commands can mess you up (They can reload page, make another tab, etc.)
    ⧼thumbs_response⧽
  • Do not ever team on FFA, or Experimental mode; you and your teammate will shrink when the Anti-Teaming penalty is activated. It is not worth it. There is Party for that: Team mode is a special server in which there are different teams signified by colors, and where you can only eat the other teams' cells. (In Team mode, your team may try to destroy your cross-teaming with a different color cell. They will not like it. Team with your own color.)
