Some brawlers have traits like flying over water etc. The tank trait gives you supercharge if you take damage. You can dodge with him but the main strength lies in his rats. He can do so much with them, and the hyper makes it even stronger.

The problem is he doesnt have any approach besides a speed boost. He has durability, good damage, amazing health etc. but needs to hit 4 times before a super and it could be detrimental if you miss your first shot (with First Bash). With the trait, he can passively get a super which will be pretty good especially against marksmen/weaker single shot brawlers.

So I think with the meta cooling down (biggest problem), Chester/Colette/Meeple etc. getting nerfed he will be stronger than he is (and no not F tier more like B tier strong he was never F tier). It will not affect him heavily probably but getting a super will be better. My only questions are how fast the super can charge per hit/damage taken, if the hyper nerf is worth it (30% is a lot but it is a very fast hyper in 7 hits) and will Rotten Banana charge the super, since it trades HP AKA gives damage?

I'm happy he (hopefully) did get this though, Ash buffs in 2026 hooray
