==Overview==

'''Skateboard''' is an offensive [[Phighters|Phighter]] that possesses incredible mobility and burst damage. The mobility granted by his skateboard enables him to perform exceptionally well at hit-and-runs. Skateboard also has tools to compliment his pick-based playstyle: {{Abilitylink|SkateboardPassiveBoard}}, which enables Skateboard to maintain speed and gives him vertical mobility when chained, and {{Abilitylink|SkateboardPhinisher}}, an AOE stun that sets up a free pick for your team. Despite these exceeding upsides, Skateboard is incredibly fragile. Hard crowd control effects and burst damage can force Skateboard to become vulnerable off board.

 

==Abilities==

* Passive {{Status|Haste}} is lost if not moving for half a second.

* Killing or assisting sets {{Status|Haste}} to 50%.

* Skateboard will not be forced off board if disabled in the first 2 seconds of switching to on board.

* While on board, {{PAGENAME}} has the following traits:

** Cannot regenerate shield naturally.

** If {{PAGENAME}} receives a disabling status effect, a {{Status|Slow}} of 25% or higher or gets reduced to 0 speed after being on board for at least 5 seconds, {{PAGENAME}} will be forced off board.

** Slopes increase speed when traveling downwards and decrease speed when travelling upwards.

** Speed will gradually decay. The decay speed increases at different speed caps.

*** The speed decay caps are: 25, 30, 40, 50, 60.

* Holding E while on board performs an AoE attack, dealing more damage depending on speed. Tapping it quickly switches to off board, dealing no damage.

* {{Status|Haste}} is gained depending on speed on board, this can bypass the 25% passive haste cap, capping at 50% {{Status|Haste}}.

 

* Using primary will start THE COOL, RAD, COFFIN!! early.

* Skateboard gains maximum speed (50) upon using THE COOL, RAD, COFFIN!!.

* If Skateboard dies during the casting time, the dash animation will perform but its effects will be cancelled.

* Refreshes the cooldown of {{Abilitylink|SkateboardE}}.

 

==Strategy==

 

Skateboard's survivability hinges almost entirely on his movement speed, so remember to keep your momentum going as much as possible, especially when fighting. If you have no momentum for five seconds, you will be kicked off board. With a base walkspeed 35% slower than normal, being kicked off your skateboard in the middle of battle will often put you in an unfavourable position. Prioritize maintaining speed first, and once you have a good amount of speed, then focus on attacking. You can't deal any damage if you're dead!

Tricks are the most reliable way of keeping momentum, and should be used whenever available. Remember, you're not limited to just traditional skateboard spots; you can perform a trick off the edge of any flat, elevated surface! Get creative, and practice looking for unconventional trick spots. Your ability to identify good trick spots, even when they're not obvious, will often be the difference between dominating a fight or getting curbstomped by the opponent.

 

*{{Abilitylink|SkateboardSecondaryBoard}}

**The extra height helps to reach opponents that are in the air and to traverse tall obstacles. Combine with a trick jump for even more height.

*{{Abilitylink|SkateboardE}}

** Tapping SWITCH!! instead of holding it allows you to hop off board immediately, which can be useful if you need to regenerate shield urgently.

** Although holding SWITCH!! deals high amounts of damage, putting yourself in a standing position will make you more vulnerable, as your movement is severely handicapped. Only swap if you're confident that you can take out all the nearby opponents in one go, or as a last resort if you're stuck and your {{Abilitylink|SkateboardQBoard}} is on cooldown.

** Can be used after holding down {{Abilitylink|SkateboardQBoard}} to utilize the burst in speed to deal a lot of damage in one go.

*{{Abilitylink|SkateboardQBoard}}

 

When trying to gain distance from a Skateboard player, try to get onto high ground that can only be reached via high jumps or going up steep slopes. Skateboard users will have a difficult time reaching these areas.
