Game plan

Angelo is a fast marksman who charges an arrow by holding the attack, dealing more damage the longer it charges. Their Super leaves a toxic pool on the ground, and while Angelo stands in it their arrows also poison. Angelo can also move over water.

1. Charge your arrow fully before shooting at long range. A quick release does little damage.
2. Place your Super where you plan to stand, then fight from inside it for poisoned arrows.
3. Use water to stay out of reach. Most brawlers cannot follow you there.
