Best build
Gadget: Pit Stop — A post that slows enemies: turns your line into a real wall.
Star Power: Ghost Train — You keep rolling and ignore the first blockade — hugely valuable on gate maps.
Gears: Gadget Charge + Health — Your posts are your value, and you need to survive between them.
Place posts around the objective and force everyone away with your charge.

Strengths
As a fighter, Chuck is favoured into assassin, artillery, thrower.
- With your posts to ram through with knockback you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.

- With your posts to ram through with knockback you focus Tick: Tick has the lowest HP in the game.

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