How to beat Frank
- Use knockback, stuns and slows. Interrupting his windup cancels his attack.
- Kite him. He stops when he attacks, so brawlers that keep moving avoid most of his damage.
- Do not over-feed his Super. Shooting him without a plan charges the stun that kills you.
Common mistake: Grouping up in front of Frank when his Super is ready. One shockwave stuns all of you.

Frank has the highest health in the game. He swings his hammer in a slow shockwave, and his Super is a larger shockwave that destroys walls and stuns everyone it hits. He charges his Super when enemies damage him, and he cannot move while attacking.
- Walk into the enemy and take hits. Your huge health and Super charge from damage are your engage.
- Aim your Super at groups. A stun on two or three enemies wins the fight for your team.
- Swing only when you will connect. Frank stops moving during each attack, which makes misses dangerous.
