Game plan

Clancy gets stronger during the match. He collects tokens to upgrade through stages, and each stage changes his attack pattern and boosts his Super, a fan of projectiles that grows in range and damage. He starts weak and becomes a major threat if he is allowed to level up.

  1. Play safe early. Your first stage is weak, so focus on collecting tokens without dying.
  2. Take fights only when your stage is high. A fully upgraded Clancy wins most trades.
  3. Fire your Super into groups at higher stages, where it covers a wide fan.

Drafting Clancy

When to pick
Pick Clancy in long modes like Knockout and Gem Grab, where he has time to upgrade.
Who to pair with
Pair him with a tank who keeps him alive while he collects his first tokens.
Ban or not
Ban him if your team cannot pressure early.

Win rate by mode
