Although all three characters are simple enough for beginners to understand, D-Bee provides the most benefits. Users can utilize the character's ability to get better at hip-fire mode without sacrificing accuracy.

Furthermore, given his movement speed bonus, the early-game run-and-run technique can also be executed without any accuracy penalties. In theory, this will allow players to rush opponents without much hassle.
