Guide
Shade is a ghostly melee brawler who hugs enemies through walls, dealing more damage to the enemy at the center of the embrace. Being able to hit enemies beyond a wall is great for pressuring cover-reliant opponents, and his high mobility suits a hit-and-run style. Aiming for the center hit while closing distance is the core of his damage.
His Super turns him intangible to pass freely through terrain with a move-speed boost. It is a two-way engage and escape that punches through walls into the backline, or crosses a wall to slip out when behind. He is strong at ambushing key targets via unexpected routes.
Pair his gadget and star power from his kit to strengthen mobility and survival by map. He is most threatening on wall-heavy Brawl Ball and Hot Zone maps where both his wall-piercing attack and pass-through Super come alive.
