Mobility

As mentioned previously, Squirrel Girl doesn't possess a good ability kit for mobility. However, by using her Tail Bounce, players can relocate themselves to elevated locations, like building roofs, to get a better view of all the enemies. This can, in turn, be used as a means to throw your opponent's aim off, and, maybe, buy some time for your healers to reach you.

Playstyle

The best way to squeeze significant impact out of Squirrel Girl's abilities is to use them from a distance. This is because, in close-ranged battles, she can often get in difficult situations, due to her aforementioned low mobility. Her Burst Acorn can be used to dish out continuous damage and can even be bounced off walls.

This is great for narrow or smaller areas, as she can just keep spamming the Acorns to keep dealing serious damage. To add to that, her Squirrel Blockade can also be bounced off walls, or other surfaces, and is probably her best ability when it comes to team play.

She can use it to quickly stun an enemy, locking them in place, for a small amount of time. This can come in extremely handy if used correctly, as it can lock down heroes that might try to kill you with their ultimate. All of these abilities will find an even better impact when used in tandem with Tail Bounce.


Team Up

Squirrel Girl's Team Up ability sees her take help from the one and only, friendly neighborhood, Spider-Man, who gives her a web bomb which can then be launched using her slingshot. The enemies caught by this will be immobilized temporarily and also receive a decent amount of damage.


Ultimate

The Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami might just be one of the cutest and most hilarious abilities in the game. With this, she can release a Tsunami of her squirrels to deal significant amounts of damage while bouncing off structures. This can be very useful in pushing the opponents back, as it also lasts for a decent amount of time.
