Ruffs Counters

Best counters to Ruffs

  Outpaces Ruffs after upgrading, then uses Super jumps to breach sandbag cover and burst his low health.

• Lou

  Locks Ruffs down with accumulating freeze, while his Super's slippery zone drives him away from stationary sandbag cover.

• Griff

  Bursts down low-health Ruffs at midrange, while Piggy Bank removes walls that amplify his bouncing laser pressure.

• Cordelius

  Isolates low-health Ruffs from teammates in the Shadow Realm, where close-range mushroom burst overwhelms him without support.

• Buzz

  Crosses Ruffs's long range with Torpedo Throw, stunning and bursting him after landing inside his sandbag cover.

  Bombards Ruffs over walls, exploiting his low health and forcing him away from the sandbags anchoring his position.

Ruffs is a strong pick against

• Chester

  Places Take Cover in Chester's firing lane, making his bells hit sandbags and draining the reloads behind his burst.

• Colette

  Forces Colette's non-piercing shots into Take Cover, consuming her ammo before she can damage him directly.

• Griff

  Fires beyond Griff's coin range while sandbags intercept the volley, denying the clean approach his close-range burst needs.

• Meeple

  Bounces lasers into Meeple from beyond their range while Take Cover catches homing shots before they find a clean lane.

• Otis

  Lets Take Cover absorb Otis's shots and Super, then maintains safe pressure by bouncing lasers around walls.

• Piper

  Makes Piper spend limited sniper ammo breaking Take Cover instead of landing her high-damage rounds on him.

• Stu

  Feeds Stu's fireworks into sandbags, denying the hit that charges his Super and sustains his dash cycle.

• Surge

  Keeps early-stage Surge outside firing range and blocks narrow shots with Take Cover, slowing his path to the next upgrade.
