Fires bouncing acorns that ricochet off surfaces and explode on impact.

A vertical leap that provides mobility and escape options.
Use to reposition, gain high ground, or evade incoming danger.

Locks down enemies briefly, making it perfect for initiating fights or trapping fleeing opponents.
Combos well with ricocheting projectiles for follow-up damage.
Mammal Bond (E)

Reloads your weapon, allowing for continued pressure or a quick disengage.
Provides versatility for both offensive and defensive play.
Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami (Q - Ultimate)
Summons a swarm of squirrels that deal massive damage and bounce off surfaces.
Devastating in tight spaces or crowded areas, capable of wiping out multiple enemies.
