How to beat Charlie
- Stay grouped so a cocooned teammate does not decide the fight alone.
- Pressure her while the yo-yo is out. She has only one ammo.
- Dodge the cocoon shot sideways. It is a single projectile.
Common mistake: Committing to a fight while Charlie still has her Super. She removes your best brawler from it.

PestilenceGame plan
Charlie throws a yo-yo that damages enemies on the way out and on the way back. Her Super traps an enemy brawler in a cocoon for a few seconds, removing them from the fight. She wins fights by taking one enemy out right when it matters.
- Cocoon the enemy's most important brawler right before a fight or an objective push.
- Aim the yo-yo so the return path also crosses enemies.
- Use the cocoon to save a teammate by trapping the enemy about to finish them.
