Reindog Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
✔︎ Can easily switch between a melee or ranged playstyle
✔︎Has excellent aerial mobility
✖︎ Difficult to master
✖︎ Most of Reindog's attacks rely on being charged, leaving him open to counterattacks if not protected
✖︎ Needs to perform with a team to make full use of his support capabilities

Reindog is a Mage character that has very good zoning abilities thanks to his various projectile attacks. Teamplay is where Reindog really shines as he has moves in his kit that can interact with an ally and also because you can have better opportunities to use your charged moves in a more hectic setting.
