Taskmaster

TBW

In a nutshell Taskmaster is known as a slow moving, low mobility character with great versatility. He can zone with his aim master special in many different directions, in turn baiting the enemy to attack where his counter-attacking and combo skills can truly be showcased. With high priority and unusual properties of his heavy normals, he frustrates opponents into high damaging combos. His enemy will try and get through a barrage of painful arrows only to be hit by a Shield Skills or a Spidey's Swing combo opener when he finally does gets through Taskmaster's zoning, and, if paired with an OTG assist, it just makes Taskmaster that much more deadly. The true strength of Taskmaster really lies in his versatility as he can fill any role on a team whether placed at point, assist, or anchor. He is a great battery; most of his longer combos are capable of more than completely fueling his combo ending level 1 Hyper, Legion arrow. If you need a versatile character who can handle most any situation through zoning and countering with the added perk of an unblockable mix-up, Taskmaster's the merc for you.
