Game plan

Damian is a tank who punches at short range and charges a bar with each hit. When the bar is full, his next punch knocks enemies back and makes them explode after a delay, chaining to enemies nearby. His Super jumps over walls and traps enemies inside a large mosh pit where he lands.

1. Fill your bar on one enemy, then knock them into their teammates for a chain explosion.
2. Jump into the enemy team with your Super to trap them in the mosh pit with you.
3. Take hits to charge your Super. He charges it from damage taken.
