Guide
(NOTE 1: 'Friendship is Great' gadget is extremely useful not only for quick heals when you don't have ammo at the moment, but is also useful to counter assassins. For example, you can easily create space with an Edgar if he decides to super on you.)(NOTE 2: Opponents cannot see Berry's puddles in bushes, so you can create traps causing tons of damage.)(NOTE 3: If not healing teammates or self, Berry is better utilized as a controller on his best modes than an artillery because of how long his puddles last on the ground and their minimal burst damage compared to other throwers such as Dynamike and Larry and Lawrie.)
Game Modes
Hot Zone
Berry is very dependent on comps to shine, so letting your tank take all the damage and staying on the backlines to heal with Berry help control the area, and passively charge your super in the process. Super is used in Hot Zone for area control, last-ditch efforts to keep a teammate alive, or can be used aggressively (only when you are high HP and opponent is low HP, good criteria to kill confirm). Make sure to stay in mid lane behind a wall for maximum potential.
Gem Grab
Gem Grab's maps are usually constructed of lane-dependent maps (ex. Hard Rock Mine) meaning holding chokepoints is the key to victory. Berry's main attacks last on the ground longer then any other thrower (yes, I know he is classified as a support) in the game, meaning you can hold off brawlers from making it to the gem spawner for a sufficient amount of time over the course of the game. Berry's heals are also extremely valuable when a gem-holder needs to be protected (ex. poison dmg, fire dmg, barbed dmg, etc). As mentioned with Hot Zone, Berry's super can be used defensively and aggressively. Pro Tip: In Gem Grab, when protecting a gem-carrier, you can use your main attack or super to pretend to heal the gem-carrier in the opposite bush relative to where they actually are. This can trick the opponents into attacking the bush where you were 'healing your teammate', allowing your team to stall and (hopefully) win the game.
Heist
Same tips from previous modes apply to Heist, but the 'Healthy Additives' gadget is better here because it makes Berry's next main attack last for 100% (6 sec to 12 sec w/ gadget), causing massive damage on the opponent's safe (20% or 15,840 dmg per gadget).
Works Well With
Frank
Tanks in general, especially Frank (as he has the highest HP in the game) are impossible to kill with Berry's constant healing.
Kit
When Kit latches on to your Berry, you can infinite-heal with Kit's 'Cheeseburger' gadget and Berry's main attack, super, and 'Friendship is Great' gadget. Combining the insta-heal with Kit's yarnballs makes the duo a force that is almost impossible for other brawlers to take down.
Buster
Buster is another prime tank option with Berry.
Ash
Ash is another prime tank option with Berry.
