Guide
When it comes to Shade, she's most likely one of the most difficult assassins to play, too many counters, not enough range, not enough super duration and all that, but I'm here to (potentially) make playing Shade easier for some people.The necesity of her gadget: Shade's dependant on her gadget, without it you'd have to spend half the game charging your super, some effective ways to use her gadget are to charge your super (the most effective use), or to confirm a kill if they get away somehow, this is also why the gadget recharge gear is very useful, not to a point where Shade's useless without it, but very useful nontheless. The risk of her Star Power: Now, most people would recommend to use hardened hoodie for Shade, but for a brawler who can hide behind walls while in her super, it really isn't as needed as advertised, this also make for another use of her gadget, if you're close to someone you can use the gadget, hit the center (if skilled), and close the gap between the two of you, his speed buff lasts around 1 second, so make the most of it.How to use her super: While I think this should be obvious, you should use Shades super to either chase an enemy with the speed boost and kill them, escape a tough situation, or go for a whole team while using the walls to basically be invincible, pairing this with her gadget and Star Power makes for a very efficient assassin if played well.(And for the obvious stuff, don't engage on a wall breaker with your super, or a tank without it)
Game Modes

Brawl Ball
Most BB maps have a lot of walls, use them to your advantage to charge your super and get some easy kills, or use the speed boost from the super to get an easy score. (Fun fact, with the ball and the super, if you throw the ball at wall while phasing through it with precise timing, you can make the ball pass through the wall too!)
