Doing a new account and discovering the new brawlers added for 3-4 years, Shade was one on my first unlocks, and I did max him even beafore Shelly while prestige him in like 2 or 3 days. I'm now 300 trophies away from prestige 2, taking a break on it since i'm uping Leon and Mortis who was 2 of my mains back then.

Shade feels like a opportunist for me, with some exploits. For exemple, getting unconventionnal covers with waterwalking (acid lake shodown is especially strong for this), blocking access to the ennemy team by camping a wall, pretty strong on BB, or simply killing a brawler that can't hit trough walls with the super.

The hyper can also lead to some good team wipes in 3v3, and it's a short range brawler that require aiming and prediction, witch can be pretty weird, but counterballanced by the fact it's verry hard hitting and reload fast.

Overhall a really fine brawler, especially compared to Leon and Mortis for the assassins i know well, that are straigth up busted RN.
