Gears: Damage + Gadget Charge — Zone damage plus range is your whole plan.
Stick your bombs to walls beside the route, not on the enemy itself.

- With your sticky bombs on his cover you focus Shelly: fighters lose once you keep them outside their effective range.

Draft advice
Squeak is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Squeak when the map layout works against the thrower role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
