Game plan

Sprout lobs seed bombs over walls that bounce and explode on contact or after a short delay. Its Super grows a temporary wall where it lands, which can block paths, cut off enemies or protect teammates. Sprout reshapes the map in real time.

1. Bounce seeds off walls to reach enemies around corners.
2. Use your Super to block the goal in Brawl Ball, cut a choke point or trap enemies.
3. Stay behind walls. Sprout has moderately low health.
