Super
Ties into his Rage bar for an empowered effect once charged.
Build
Gadgets
Chill Pill (recommended).
Star powers
First Bash (recommended for aggressive early 1v1s), Mad As Heck (better for prolonged multi-tank matchups).
Gears
Damage Gear and Super Charge Gear.
Recommended build

How to play Ash
- Manage the Rage bar carefully — his damage output depends directly on how charged it is.
- Best on bush-heavy maps in Gem Grab, Knockout, and Brawl Ball; avoid open maps where he can't build Rage safely.
- Switch to Mad As Heck star power specifically for matchups against multiple tanks.
