Game plan

Ash is a high-health tank with a Rage bar that fills when he deals or takes damage. The more Rage he has, the faster he moves and the harder his piercing broom attack hits. His Super sends out robot rats that chase and explode. He grows stronger the longer a fight lasts.

  1. Build Rage before committing. A full bar makes you fast and deadly.
  2. Send rats ahead of you to soften targets and charge Rage.
  3. Stay in fights. Taking damage fuels your Rage.

Drafting Ash

When to pick
Pick Ash in Brawl Ball and Hot Zone, where long fights fuel his Rage.
Who to pair with
Pair him with long-range damage that covers him while his Rage builds.
Ban or not
Rarely worth a ban. Kite him and avoid long fights that fill his Rage.
