Skyler's ability 'Riptide Rhythm' allows players to destroy gloo walls at different ranges as per the skill level. This destruction can prove to be helpful, especially against vulnerable enemies who are low on health.

Hence, one can easily overpower an under-pressure opponent by denting their defense. Moreover, players can also hinder the escape of such enemies who are retreating using a gloo wall.

2) HP regeneration

Whenever players procure damage, they can deploy a gloo wall to start HP regeneration. This automatic HP gain is pretty helpful when the players' health bar is low and they're getting shot at. HP regeneration starts from four points to nine points per skill level.
