Guide
Carl is a mid-range brawler who throws his pickaxe like a boomerang and re-throws it once it returns. He can hit twice as it goes and comes back, so the distance sense to land both passes decides his output. High health suits pushing a lane.
His Super spins at high speed, dealing continuous damage to nearby enemies. He can move while spinning, making it strong for churning through the enemy line or holding an objective. Spinning amid charging or grouped enemies maximizes area pressure.
Use the Grappling Hook or Heat Ejector gadgets to add mobility or firepower as needed, while the star power is a choice between Power Throw for faster pickaxe throws or Protective Pirouette to reduce damage while spinning. He is strong on Gem Grab and Brawl Ball maps with frequent close-to-mid fights.
