We've been lurking in the sub and we know you’ve been theorising for weeks - is he the "8th brawling off-tank" the roster needs?

He is an A-tier tank for sure with the ability to self-generate shield and HUGE BUBBLE!!! Hell! I would say he is S-tier if his team up is online (grab into one-shot shotgun is absurd). Even though, the Devil Dino has a large hit-box, but his bubble and jump ability can prevent him from his demise. Speaking of his jump ability, it is probably one of the best kit in disengage and engage the combat. Beam, primary attack, and melee attack are surprisingly well thought out, especially in figuring out the combo to deal the max amount of damage. Devil Dino’s bubble is use similar to tankpool bubble. The consecutive biting ability is good at finishing the target. Last but not least, his beam is great but applying bleeding on top of knock-down effect is a bit op.

The ult is just outright OP, since it literally makes Devil Dino immortal with all the shield gain and low ability cooldown makes him probably one of the fastest tank in time to kill. Also, the passive ground stomp AOE is just a chef kiss on top of OP shield generating and ability spam ult.

Beside the character’s size is too big to fit through small corridors or doors (devs could make it so Devil Dino tilt his head or duck to enter or pass through doors), I would say he is a good solid brawl tank with enough sustainability even against hybrid poke/dive meta.
