Overview
Cole is able to fight at all ranges but is usually most comfortable at a mid to far range. Cole is a combo-heavy character and is able to start combos from a mid-range with Lightning Tether and Freeze Rocket. A lack of attacks with a large area of effect and long combo times give Cole difficulty fighting with multiple opponents, but make Cole a strong character in 1V1, where he is often considered to be top tier. Cole has some of the best mobility among the characters with Induction Grind.
