Game plan
Doug splashes the ground in a circle around him, damaging enemies and healing teammates at the same time. His Super places a hot dog on a teammate or himself, and if they die they respawn right where they fell. He is a close-range healer who keeps his team alive and on the objective.
- Stay close to teammates. Your attack heals in a circle, so it only works when they are near.
- Give your Super to the teammate most likely to die on the objective.
- Charge your Super by healing. Constant healing keeps your hot dog ready.
Drafting Doug
