Playstyle
Taz is one of the Bruiser class and a melee fighter that excels in Horizontal combat with a few vertical fighting options. This means that his kit was created to fight on the platform directly.
Taz’s passiveBottomless Pitis whatheavily determines his playstyle. With his passive, Taz deals stacks ofTastyto enemies he knocks back, and at max stacks, the enemies becomeCooked,turning them into a chicken that Taz can devour. While enemies are Cooked, they are rendered unable to attack for a few seconds. Taz also heals from bits of chicken that fall off enemies he attacks.
Taz also brings abilities like his grounded side special “Taz-Nado,” which is his signature move from the looney tunes show, amongst other abilities like his grounded up special “Dogpile! Dogpile!” That allows Taz to Dogpile for a few seconds damaging enemies who come in contact with it, both friend and foe alike. “Dogpile! Dogpile!” and “Taz-Nado” are also two of Taz’s best kill confirms, so proper timing and usage of these abilities can give Taz easy knockouts.
Taz likes to keep it up close and personal, dealing high amounts of damage with a well-timed Taz-Nado. This ability disrupts enemies and hastens allies. He also heavily benefits from playing around his passive and appropriate spacing, he doesn’t necessarily require opportunistic strategy and is relativelyeasy to pick up for beginnerplayers, but he requires a lot of practice to maximize his potential.
Taz is a melee champion without any gap closers or mobility options, so playing safe till you’re close enough to deal devastating damage is vital. He doesn’t have a lot of anti-range options either, with abilities like his “You Spit What You Eat” and “Chew Em Up, Spit Em Out” being the only ones.
