Guide
Build :For the gadget, pick “Cooky Popper” This gadget is 10000000 times better than “Soul Switcher” If you are not paying attention to your health, you can kill yourself with a click of a green button! The starr power is debatable. I pick “Health Bonanza” because the extra healing is great. Either one is fine. Tips: If the Edgar, Kit, Melodie, Darryle, Berry, Collette, Moe, ect… Jump/dash on you, use super to knock the pests back and gain shield. Don’t use super on yourself if you are not below 50% health. ALSO: Don’t be that annoying Gus teammate who never uses shield on teammates. Sharing is caring!KIT BUILD COMING MARCH 3rd!!! The brawler who Juan Carlos liked…until he lost. Kit doesnt dominate the meta anymore like he used too. (If you remember the 6 power cube glitch, we have nightmares together my friend😭🙏)
Game Modes
Bounty
Easy win with Gus for Bounty!
Duo Showdown
SHIELD YOUR TEAMATE NOT JUST YOU IN DUO SHOWDOWN!!!!
Works Well With
Frank
Super on Frank when he is in the animation of super-ing! It helps a lot and lessens the chances of him getting shut down.
Darryl
Super on Darryle before he uses super too. He rolls in with shield, hits the enemy, then rolls back to Gus with 2nd super.
