Squirrel Girl’s Abilities

Rated as 1-star in difficulty, Squirrel Girl’s kit is generally considered rather intuitive. So the best way to get your head around it is simply to jump into a lobby and start playing her. However, we’ll run down what each ability does here to help you get a head start.

• Primary Attack: Burst Acorn

Squirrel Girl’s primary fire is simple but effective. With her slingshot firing acorns which can bounce off surfaces and explode on contact. This means she is great in direct line of sight but also in locking down enemies with indirect fire, allowing her to hit enemies while staying behind cover.

• Active Ability: Squirrel Blockade

Squirrel Blockade sees Squirrel Girl throw a giant acorn that immobilizes the opponent that it hits, trapping them. This makes them an easy target to then focus down, either yourself or with your team.

• Active Ability: Tail Bounce

Mobility is important. Tail Bounce gives her a boost, letting her reach the high ground where she can rain down acorns and other abilities.

• Active Ability: Mammal Bond

This powerful ability may sound innocent, but it’s a game-changer. Mammal Bond instantly reloads Squirrel Girl’s primary fire and allows her to use another active ability. This opens the door for creating powerful chains of abilities, leading to deadly combos.

• Team-Up Ability: Webbed Acorn

If your team has a Spider-Man, Squirrel Girl can team up with him via Webbed Acorn. This move creates a huge explosion that immobilizes enemies in an area.

• Ultimate Ability: Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami

Thought you were just controlling one squirrel? Think again! Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami summons an army of squirrels which bounce off walls and hit enemies in their path. This can be a game-changer in tight spaces, where opponents will have a tough time avoiding the horde!

Strategies for Squirrel Girl

With Squirrel Girl’s abilities established, we can move on to some great strategies to get the most out of her kit!

• Save Her Ultimate for Tight Spaces

Squirrel Tsunami can be easy to avoid in open spaces, leading to little effect. But if you have your opponent in a space they can’t easily escape from, it can lead to team wipes.

• Mammal Bond Combos

Using Mammal Bond to reload and reset Squirrel Blockade can be a game-changer, allowing you to immobilize multiple characters and making them easy targets.

• Maintaining Range and Positioning

Squirrel Girl may have plenty of utility, but she is relatively weak up close. This means that you’ll want to keep a medium range wherever possible and use corners to press the attack while staying safe yourself. Remember to use Tail Bounce to your advantage to keep in a great position.
