How to play Gene
- Excels in Gem Grab and Brawl Ball, especially on bushy maps like Snake Prairie.
- Best paired with high-burst teammates like Bull, Shelly, or Meeple, who can finish off enemies isolated by his Super pull.
- Use Lamp Blowout defensively to create distance and recover health when threatened.
