How to play El Primo
- Close distance through terrain to make the most of his short range.
- Time the Super carefully — avoid jumping into multiple ranged opponents without nearby cover.
- Chain the Super into Suplex Supplement for strong crowd control.
- Pair with healers like Poco; dominates in Brawl Ball and tight-corridor maps.
