Ruff's Hypercharge, known as "The Goodest Boy," significantly enhances his combat effectiveness by boosting his Super and providing rapid Hypercharge readiness for himself and his teammates.
When Ruff's Hypercharge is activated, his next Super fired will deal 25% more damage upon impact to enemies. This provides a crucial burst of damage, potentially turning the tide in a direct confrontation or helping secure key eliminations.
Beyond the immediate damage buff, Ruff's Hypercharge also offers a unique utility related to power-ups. If Ruff or any allied Brawler collects a power-up (the cubes dropped by defeated opponents or broken boxes), their Hypercharge will be charged instantly. This allows Ruffs and his teammates to activate their Hypercharge abilities much faster, providing a tactical advantage throughout the match.
Key Effects of Ruff's Hypercharge
- Empowered Super: Ruffs' next Super gains a substantial damage increase.
- Instant Hypercharge Recharge: Collecting power-ups immediately charges the Hypercharge for Ruffs and his allies.
Practical Benefits
- Increased Offensive Pressure: The 25% damage boost to his Super makes it deadlier, allowing Ruffs to eliminate targets more efficiently or apply significant pressure to stronger Brawlers.
- Faster Ability Cycling: The instant Hypercharge charge from power-ups means Ruffs and his team can utilize their powerful Hypercharge abilities more frequently, leading to sustained periods of enhanced performance.
- Team Utility: The ability to instantly charge allies' Hypercharges upon collecting power-ups fosters strong team play and coordination, as it empowers the entire team to unleash their ultimate forms more often.
In essence, Ruff's Hypercharge provides both a direct damage buff to his primary offensive ability and an invaluable team utility that accelerates the charging of all Hypercharges through power-up collection.
