How to Play Tom and Jerry

Use Volley! and Mallet Time to Create Space

As Mage/Ranged Characters, Tom and Jerry are at their best when attacking from a distance. Using Volley and Mallet Time will provide you with the necessary breathing room to make full use of Tom and Jerry's abilitites.

Use Goin' Fishin and Snap Trap to Hinder Your Opponents Movement

Tom and Jerry Character Profile

Ever since they first laid eyes on each other, Tom and Jerry have had a complicated relationship. As a housecat and a mouse they should be mortal enemies, but the two have nonetheless teamed up many times over the years. Like many “toons,” Tom & Jerry fight with a zany, madcap style and display nearly indestructible levels of durability. They’ll be great champions to have in the battle against the Nothing so long as they can stop fighting each other long enough to do it.
