Best build

Place heal puddles on the objective and keep your team in them.

Strengths
As a support, Berry is favoured into marksman, assassin.
- With your heal puddles to outlast the trade you focus Stu: assassins have low HP once their dash is on cooldown.
- With your heal puddles to outlast the trade you focus Spike: Spike is fragile and his cactus is easy to dodge.
- With your heal puddles to outlast the trade you focus Bea: Bea is very weak without a charged shot.
- With your heal puddles to outlast the trade you focus Mico: assassins have low HP once their dash is on cooldown.
Weaknesses
Berry struggles against tank, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the support role.

Works well alongside Buster.

When not to pick
Skip Berry when the map layout works against the support role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
