✓ Primary 3v3 & Draft Role:
Specialized close-range Brawl Ball anti-tank brawler. Thanks to his high HP pool, Tank Trait (charging Super from taking damage), and Suplex Supplement gadget, El Primo directly counters other melee tanks like Frank, Bull, Rosa, and Buzz by flipping them over his shoulder and canceling their Supers.
⚡ Key Matchups & Counter Tips:
Only draft El Primo on closed, wall-heavy Brawl Ball maps (Center Stage, Sneaky Fields) when the enemy team lacks Colette, Clancy, or Griff.
