Slingshot is a Phighter who utilizes his mobility to pepper enemies with mid
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
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:
Line 141:
** The double jump can also be utilized to avoid damage or juke enemies.
* {{Abilitylink|SlingshotPrimary}}
** Tap-firing shots is useful for finishing off low health targets, dealing with mobile Phighters or to reset the shield
** It is recommended the player maintains a midrange distance from their opponent to maximize damage, or use fully-charged shots.
** Charged shots can be used in quick exchanges where the player wants to avoid exposing themselves for too long, such as against a [[Hyperlaser]].
* {{Abilitylink|SlingshotSecondary}}
** Landing a Heavy Hurler guarantees a free Scattershot or Sling Shot to follow-up.
** Try to remain hovering as much as possible to greatly increase your DPS.
* {{Abilitylink|SlingshotQ}}
** Scattershot's hop can be aimed upward to help Slingshot gain extra height for reaching vantage points.
** Scattershot's damage output can be maximized if the player is closer to their enemies.
* {{Abilitylink|SlingshotE}}
** Dodge gives Slingshot slightly more height, which is useful for helping him reach vantage points.
* {{Abilitylink|SlingshotPhinisher}}
** To maximize the value of Leg Day, utilize the increased walkspeed bonus to take angles where the beam can hit multiple players at once.
** Since other moves can be used during Leg Day, you can use {{Abilitylink|SlingshotSecondary}} to stun enemies and guarantee landing one shot of your Phinisher.
===Counterplay against {{PAGENAME}}===
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
