Slingshot is a Phighter who utilizes his mobility to pepper enemies with mid-to-long 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 somelittle room for error if he gets caught out. Regardless, theThe player must be be mindful of their small shield amount as taking too much damage can be costly if yourthe team lacks a [[Medkit]]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 rushdownrush 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.

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 ultimatePhinisher 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.
