Spot's Gameplay Mechanics

Basic Abilities: Untouchable, Rupture, Portal Block, Infuriate, Buff Immunity

Spot can perform a series of basic attacks, each with distinct functions:

• Light Attacks: Quick strikes that efficiently build up combo and deal significant damage when coupled with his Ruptures.
• Medium Attacks: Balanced attacks that can help deal with inflicting damage-over-time effects.
• Heavy Attacks: Slower, powerful blows useful for breaking blocks or preparing for a strategic comparison with his special abilities.

Passive and Active Basic Abilities:

• Untouchable: At 5+ Spots, Spot becomes Untouchable, causing all incoming attacks to Miss and inflicting Rupture Debuffs on opponents.
• Rupture Debuffs: Deal damage over time, incrementally harming the opponent.
• Portal Block: Provides immense blocking proficiency and a chance to resist heavy and unblockable attacks.

Special Attacks:

1. Special 1: Extradimensional Shortcut - Inflicts Buff Immunity for 10-20 seconds based on Spots. Immunity to buffs triggers Rupture Debuffs. Best used to close distance and setup further attacks.
2. Special 2: High Speed Matter Transfer - Inflicts Physical Vulnerability and bursts of Physical Damage for each Rupture effect. High damage potential, especially useful to weaken the opponent’s defenses.
3. Special 3: Spotted Dimension Getaway - Maxes out Spot’s Spots, increasing Rupture durations permanently. Ideal for longer battles and setting up an Untouchable state.

Signature Ability: From the Spotted Dimension

• Activates post-Portal Block, dealing instant Rupture damage per Spot gained.
• While Untouchable, striking opponents during their Heavy Attack or Special recovery grants a Fury Passive, boosting his Attack Rating.
• Awakened ability greatly enhances Spot’s damage output and synergy with his signature moves.

Strategy and Playstyle

General Strategy: Maximize Spot’s damage by building up Spots and triggering Untouchable strategically to inflict multiple Rupture Debuffs. Use Portal Block to defend against strong attacks and bait aggressive opponents into striking.

Advanced Techniques: Combine Portal Block with Medium Medium combos to conserve Rupture damage. Deploy Special Attacks immediately after building up Spots to leverage their full potential, and utilize the Buff Immunity from Special 1 to heal using the Willpower Mastery.

Mastery Tips

Skill Mastery:

• Recovery / Willpower: Enhances Spot’s healing when Buff Immunity is triggered.
• Stand Your Ground: Paired with Portal Block to resist Heavy Attacks.
• Despair: Reduces enemies’ regeneration by stacking Rupture Debuffs.
• Inequity / Resonate: Mitigate self-inflicted damage by lowering overall damage taken through debuffs.

Team Composition: Spot’s synergy bonuses with various champions can bolster their performance in combat:

• Darkforce Project Funding: With Kingpin, and Mister Negative, Spot starts each fight with 2 Spots.
• Now You’re Punching with Portals: With America Chavez and Wong, basic attacks during Portal Block grant Spot a Fury Buff and enhance their own energy manipulations.
• Impetuous Youth: With Spider-Man and Black Cat, Spot inflicts a Taunt Debuff when untouchable, and enhances their evasion and critical ratings.
• Roommates: With Mysterio, Spot gains enhanced Rupture Debuff potency.
• Another Dimension: With Mephisto and Magik, provides additional resistances and fury buffs.

Countering Spot

Counter Tactics: Avoid striking Spot when he is close to going Untouchable. Focus on ranged attacks and maintain distance to mitigate his Rupture damage. Disorient Debuffs can effectively negate his Portal Block ability.

Spot Counters:

• Human Torch: His consistent damage-over-time effects can overwhelm Spot’s defenses.
• Archangel: Neurotoxins bypass Spot's defenses and deal heavy damage.
• Nick Fury: Reliability and high bleed damage counters Spot’s evasive abilities.
• Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): High evade chance and electric web shots can disrupt Spot's combat flow.
