All characters have some base set of skills.

All characters have an empowered melee. It hacks and knocks back opponents. You can use it to cancel windups and push opponents off the map. Winning the melee trades will help you build percentage faster.

Most can use their Primary Fire to build up percent and all characters have a double jump that is refreshed upon touching the ground.

Characters that can wall climb can only do so for 3s before it goes on a cooldown. Attempts to wall climb after will stun and hack them.

Getting knocked up too high will get you hit by the sky barrier. It will stun you and knock you down away from the stage.

Doomfist has both amazing knockback and recovery potential, but are both tied to his two abilities. You'll need to manage your cooldowns to perform well.

Seismic Slam

This ability can be used for recovery, but also stuns enemies hit and pops them up. The stun duration scales off how damaged the opponent is.

Rocket Punch

Charge up a punch that deals a great deal of knockback. When charging mid-air you will float, allowing for for a fast recovery.

Junker Queen has a lackluster range and percentage building but her bleed deals constant knockback. Bleeding an opponent and getting below them will launch them into the roof barrier, usually resulting in death.

Jagged Blade

Junker Queen's main ranged attack. It applies a constant knockback when thrown or hitting a melee.

Commanding Shout

Commanding Shout gives a burst of movement speed and also acts as an extra jump when mid-air. Use it for recovery or closing the gap to your opponent.

Carnage

After a short windup you cut down on your opponent, applying bleed.

Rampage

Dash forward and apply bleed to opponents hit and builds percent very fast. When used mid-air it also boosts you very far, acting as a solid recovery.

Sigma is a slow heavyweight. He is hard to send off the map and hits back extra hard. His rock is solid to finish off kills, even when the opponent is low percentage.

Kinetic Grasp

Start sucking in projectiles and gain a burst of movement speed. When used you also start to slowly float upwards, instantly reversing previous momentum.
