Overview
Biograft is a melee Phighter that specializes in pressuring targets and chasing them down. Biograft plays like a glass cannon, dealing high damage while sporting the lowest health on the roster. Biograft's passive, Power of Biograft / Heat, increases their attack speed when using Dual Swing. It also limits their aggressiveness, as Biograft fills their heat meter by using Dual Swing, which could lead to them being left vulnerable if the bar fills up completely. Echo Execution allows Biograft to confirm kills on enemies at <25% health. Biograft's abilities allows them to get in and out of fights swiftly, allowing for more methodical gameplay.

- The execute threshold calculates using the target's current health.
- A sound cue will play if the target is below the execution threshold when hit.
- The execute damage generates Phinisher points, giving the player 10 Phinisher points or 8% Phinisher charge per execute.
- Biograft can be damaged during the recast dash.
- Multiple enemies can be damaged, and even executed if they are close enough to to enemy Biograft dashes to.
Details:
- After using a reset, the cooldown for Blink will continue in the background. When this cooldown is finished, it will set the amount of cooldown resets back to two.
- Despite what the in-game description mentions, Blink occurs in the direction of the crosshair.

Biograft is a glass cannon. Without proper knowledge or experience, they can be a detriment to their team. Biograft must utilize their mobility to minimize damage taken and keep pressure on the enemy. Biograft's main goal is focusing a single enemy until they are dead. Keeping pressure on someone who is trying to regenerate their shields can net them a kill while they try and escape their wrath. Biograft has decent burst potential, as combining Slash Storm and Blink can lead to around 80 damage (assuming all three Blinks are hit). Biograft has great synergy with Subspace, as Biograft's constant damage benefits from Subspace's vulnerability status effect.
Biograft's role in a team is to pressure loners and confirm kills. Echo Execution lets them instantly kill anyone at <25% health (assuming they have no shields). When combined with Biograft's burst damage output, sometimes a good Biograft doesn't even need their team to support them. Biograft's low ability cooldowns allow for pressure no other Phighter compares to. If a teammate needs help, they can quickly get to their position and aid them.
Biograft is best played on small maps, as well as flat maps, as inclines can make it harder to hit their primary. Maps with less cover can also make getting Echo Executions from across the map a lot easier. Some of Biograft's more favored maps include Banland, DODGEBALL!, Protect Telamon, Rob The ROBLOX Bank, and The Iron Cafe.
Biograft is all about knowing limits. It's okay to back out of a fight to regenerate shields. It's okay to stop holding primary because the heat meter is almost full. It's okay to just not take a fight completely. The best Biograft is one who makes good decisions. If played correctly, Biograft is one of if not the most powerful solo carry Phighter in the game.
Ability usage
- Power of Biograft / Heat
- You can keep Power of Biograft's attack speed so long as your heat meter isn't at 0. Do bursts of slashes at a high attack speed to keep the effect lasting for next time you want to engage an enemy. You don't need to hit an enemy, you can just swing at nothing. In theory, you can keep your maximum attack speed going until you can activate Overdrive.
- Dual Swing
- Use Dual Swing out of combat for increased movement speed. This will increase the heat meter, so stop once you get close to the battle.
- Slash Storm
- Due to its linger, it can also be used as a trap for things such as Sword's Lunge, Skateboard, and an opposing Biograft's Echo Execution.
- Echo Execution
- Because of its range, Echo Execution can be used as a mobility tool to get back into the fight.
- Echo Execution can be used to put pressure on the enemy. The target may anticipate the dash and increase their guard, so sometimes its best to just wait a few seconds before dashing to them.
- Blink
- Blink resets its cooldown every hit, with a maximum of two resets. Hitting all three will deal 45 damage, which is usually a third of the health of the average Phighter. You can also use the cooldown reset to get out of a fight by chaining Blink on enemies.
- Overdrive
- Biograft has one of the longer Phinisher ability animations. Activating Overdrive in front of the enemy team will get him obliterated. There are many work-arounds to this, such as:
- Going behind cover
- Blinking into the air
- Marking someone with Echo Execution and reactivating it once the animation is over
- Overdrive's explosion does good damage. End the Phinisher when an enemy is around 20% health. You can also end it when you cannot find a target and you are taking health damage. Without a Medkit, it is important you keep your health high.
- Overdrive's explosion is also very useful when combined with Subspace's Noxious Void, due to its AoE damage.
- Biograft has one of the longer Phinisher ability animations. Activating Overdrive in front of the enemy team will get him obliterated. There are many work-arounds to this, such as:
Counterplay against Biograft
Biograft, like most melee Phighters, is hindered by AoE damage. This is why Rocket is a great way to steer an enemy Biograft away from a team. Boombox is also a great counter for all melee Phighters, as his knockback can discombobulate those who rely on staying close to their enemies. Skateboard is Biograft's greatest counter because Biograft has no move that can instantly get him off his skateboard, as opposed to Sword's Lunge. Biograft's only way to chase Skateboard is with Overdrive, but even that may end up not working. Stuns are devastating to Biograft because of their low health pool. Stick with your team when a Biograft is on the opposition. Three or more players can easily decimate Biograft if they choose to engage. Medkit can deter Biograft away from his team because his primary can stop Biograft from regenerating their shields, so it's never out of the picture to just chase a Biograft as Medkit. Biograft can also have problems securing kills against high health Phighters, especially Katana, whose Looming Misfortune can decimate Biograft with just its slow.
