Game plan
Ruffs fires two parallel lasers that bounce off walls. His Super calls a supply drop that damages enemies and leaves a power-up that permanently boosts a teammate's damage and health. He makes his whole team stronger while poking from range.
- Drop your Super where a teammate can grab the power-up safely, ideally your main damage dealer.
- Bounce lasers off walls to hit enemies behind cover.
- Stay at range. Ruffs has low health and wins by poking, not dueling.
