Slingshot is a ranged Phighter. He was released on 19 February 2022 with Playtest 1.
Slingshot is a ranged Phighter who specializes in high mobility and ranged damage. Slingshot has an arsenal of mobility incorporated in his abilities, enabling him to quickly traverse the map and reposition quickly. Quick Feet ensures he's speeding across the map after every ability combo, and Sidestep lets him flit out of harm's way (or into it!). His primary damage source, Sling Shot can be fired for small poke, or charged to chunk huge sections of health from opponents. Furthermore, Slingshot also has tools to burst opponents quickly. Heavy Hurler, a delayed shot that stuns targets and pierces their shields and Scattershot, which fires 3 projectiles that ricochet off walls. Using his Phinisher, Leg Day, Slingshot becomes incredibly nimble and his next 3 shots fire out a piercing laser that travels across the map and through walls.
A Phighter who has an incredible amount of flexibility in playstyle and a wide skill-ceiling. Slingshot is an exceptional choice for players who want a ranged Phighter that is easy to learn, but hard to master and has many available options at their disposal.

Slingshot is a Phighter who utilizes his mobility to pepper enemies with mid range damage. Slingshot's horizontal and vertical mobility is the best among the ranged Phighters due to its low downtimes and abundance in his kit. This can be used to make fast openings to harass enemies, avoid damage or to quickly reposition. In addition, Slingshot's exceptional mobility allows him to be played in a variety of positions and playstyles based on the player's preference. This versatility allows Slingshot to be slotted into many team compositions and adapt accordingly to their team's needs. Characters such as Katana can struggle to catch up to Slingshot and often fold to them due to Slingshot's haste and mobility.
Slingshot's 150 hitpoints is average for a ranged Phighter. However, Slingshot only has 50 shield, giving little room for error if he gets caught out. The player must be be mindful of their small shield amount as taking too much damage can be costly if the team lacks a healer.
A significant weakness for Slingshot is that all of his damaging abilities suspend him in place or slow him down during use. This can give the enemy an opening to output significant damage against him if the player is caught out of position. Mobile rush down Phighters such as Skateboard or Biograft can outmatch Slingshot's mobility and give him limited opportunities to retaliate if they catch him off guard. Characters such as Hyperlaser can abuse him being suspended to dish out consistent large damage.
In a team, Slingshot has many options in the role he can play for his teammates. While not a comprehensive list, the following are examples of playstyles a Slingshot can play as:
Slingshot does not have to stick to a playstyle throughout a match. The player can choose to make adjustments midgame.
Maps that use narrow hallways and chokepoints such as DODGEBALL! or larger maps such as King of the Hill benefit Slingshot greatly. The former can turn Slingshot's Phinisher into a team-wiping threat and allows his piercing trait to be utilized more. For the latter, Slingshot's mobility allows him to quickly traverse large maps and fully utilize the range of his abilities.
While Slingshot has exceptional poke damage and mobility, he cannot do both at the same time. Melee Phighters with mobility can rush down a Slingshot and give him little room to use his abilities.
Slingshot's damaging abilities slow him down, or force him to stand still for a moment. Take any opportunity to punish a Slingshot who uses their abilities at vulnerable positions.
