The Thickest One to rule us all – Shugoki Guide
Since Season 5 and the parry/guardbreak reworks Shugoki has been absolute trash tier. No mix ups, no soft feints, nothing. But that finally changed in Season 9. The Thicc Lad got a rework and now he’s a god among men. They gave this boy a whole new kit! New animations, new movesets, and gave him everything he didn’t have before. Soft feints and charged heavies and a viable demon’s embrace, oh my! No more passive hyper armor bs, but hyper armor on. every. attack. The headbutt now chains into attacks, the throws can transition to hugs, its everything we dreamed it would be. Now go, followers of the Thicc One,…

She’s earned her stripes a s a Viking, hitting every criteria needed. She’s brutal, deadly, and shouts at the top of her lungs. And shes got the horns, so… So Valkyrie is a Hybrid assassin/vanguard hero, and to date the only hero with a deflect and a standard guard. That’s two pluses already. Shes also got dodge lights in every direction and, I make no exaggeration, every variation of light and heavy combo. Triple heavy? Check. 2 lights and…

Breathe ’em and Weep – Gas Tactics for Caustic
Today, you learn how to play our one true lord. Beautiful. Now join me as a Caustic main, and reign terror and confusion on your enemies. Caustic is a Large-Rig character, meaning, like Gibraltar and Pathfinder, he’s one of the easier legends to land shots on. While this is a disadvantage, it shouldn’t come into play very often if you play him right. Caustic’s kit consists of gas traps and a gas grenade, and an immunity to his own traps. He can have 6 (SIX!) Traps down at a time, with a maximum of 3 ‘charges’ that refill when he throws them out. His ultimate is the grenade, a throwable…
