Squeak is a Mythic Controller who throws bouncy blobs of slime. The unique mechanic: his blobs stick to surfaces and enemies on hit, then explode after a 1-second delay. This delayed explosion creates anticipation — enemies know the damage is coming and must move, which is exactly what you want.

How Squeak's Blobs Work

  1. Squeak throws a sticky blob in an arc (similar to a thrower, but with more control).
  2. The blob sticks to whatever it hits: a wall, a ground tile, or an enemy.
  3. After ~1 second, it explodes for area damage.
  4. Blobs on enemies follow their movement — the target cannot outrun the explosion if already stuck.

This means hitting a target with a blob forces them to move (to escape the explosion area) or take full damage. Both outcomes benefit Squeak.

Best Modes

ModeVerdictWhy
Gem Grab✅ ExcellentBlob on mine forces gem carriers off; controls center
Hot Zone✅ ExcellentSticky blobs on capture zone force enemies to vacate
Bounty✅ GoodAoE spread hits multiple targets
Brawl Ball⚠️ SituationalBlobs near goal lane disrupt pushes
Knockout✅ GoodChain blobs on the same target = guaranteed burst damage
Heist⚠️ SituationalModerate safe damage

Best Build

Gadget: Residue — Squeak's next blob slows any enemy it touches. Use it when an enemy is already stuck — they're slowed AND about to take explosion damage.

Star Power: Goo — Squeak's super leaves a residue that slows enemies standing in it. This transforms his Super from a one-time burst into a 2-second AoE slow zone.

Blob Placement Strategy

Squeak's power is in anticipating enemy movement:

  • Aim blobs at doorways and choke points, not at the current position.
  • In Gem Grab, place a blob on the mine tile itself — anyone who walks in to collect takes guaranteed damage.
  • Stack two blobs on the same target for burst combo damage.
