Guide
Held Items:
Attack weight increases your basic attack damage and move damage.
Razor Claw provides some slowness to make chasing down your opponents easier.
Scope Lens further increases your Crit. chance and increases your Crit. damage.
Battle Items:
Eject Button works as an additional engage tool that can be used to disengage with your opponent if you get way over your head.
Can be swapped out for Slow Smoke to terrorise your opponents and negate *some* of the incoming damage.
Moves:
Get Feint first to hop over the first wall and get an attack speed boost to quickly deal with the first Lillapup
Get Night Slash afterwards to guarantee crits on low health targets and crazy regen off of bees in late game.
Get Sucker Punch to react to more influential moves like Brave Bird or some Unite moves like Cinderace's Blazing Bicycle Kick.
Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT engage with Sucker Punch (unless you're using it as a finisher) as it will get you KO'd in no time.
Midnight Slash can be used in a pinch or in a teamfight to quickly deal with groups of enemies.
This build focuses more on bursting down your opponents before they have the time to react to your presence. Keep in mind that you are but a fragile Absol, so play cautiously, rely on ambushing your enemies and watch out for ambushes set out against you.
Works Well With
A noisy and and annoying distraction. Perfect to bait out the enemy team for you to quickly burst them down.
He can lock down areas of the map with Surf and incapacitate enemies with Telekinesis, perfect way to set up a combo or possibly a team wipe.
Her CC can be terrifying to deal with. With a perfectly placed Black Hole you two can wipe the entire enemy team off the face of the Earth!
