Current meta status
Fang sits in A tier in the current meta (2026-07 Balance Update) with a blind-pick safety of 5/10. See the full tier list for the surrounding context.
Best build
Gadget: Fresh Kicks — Damage circle around you when you put on your shoe: burst without a super.
Star Power: Divine Soles — Your super deals more damage at the edge, making chains land much more often.
Gears: Gadget Charge + Health — You need to stay in the fight to keep chaining.
Open on a low-HP target so your super chains straight into the next one.

Strengths
As a assassin, Fang is favoured into marksman, sharpshooter, thrower, artillery, support.
- With your kick super chaining from kill to kill you focus Gene: Gene has low HP and a slow attack.
- With your kick super chaining from kill to kill you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
- With your kick super chaining from kill to kill you focus Poco: Poco can barely defend himself.
- With your kick super chaining from kill to kill you focus Gus: Gus is fragile once his shield is gone.
Weaknesses
Fang struggles against tank, controller, fighter and on maps that do not support the assassin role.

Draft advice
Fang is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.

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