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.

 

 

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 rushdown Phighters such as [[Skateboard]] or [[Biograft]] can outmatch Slingshot's mobility and give him limited opportunities to retaliate if they catch him off guard.

Slingshot does not have to stick to a playstyle throughout a match. The player can choose to make adjustments midgame.

 

 

 

** Tap-firing shots is useful for finishing off low health targets, dealing with mobile Phighters or to reset shield regen on Phighters with innate shield.

** Charged shots can be used in quick exchanges where the player wants to avoid exposing themselves for too long, such as against a [[Hyperlaser]].

** Heavy Sling Shot can pierce multiple enemies. The player should angle themselves in a way where multiple players can be pierced by the shot.

** Landing a Heavy Sling Shot guarantees a free Scattershot or Sling Shot to follow-up.

** Heavy Slingshot's shield-piercing trait allows Slingshot to two-shot Phighters with low health stats if he lands it twice. It is also effective for finishing off opponents hiding behind a large shield value.

* Scattershot

** Scattershot's hop can be aimed upward to help Slingshot gain extra height for reaching vantage points.

* Leg Day

** Keep in mind that the player cannot use their other damaging abilities during the effects of Leg Day. It is recommended to use them before ulting.
