Playstyle
Stripe is an assassin champion with a kit that reflects his character and what he's about chaos and mischief. Stripe's passive ability is called Grudgeholder. It is an ability that deals a targeted debuff to enemies. This passive works with his neutral and Up specials.
He is an assassin with many range options, including his neutral special, "sharpshooter," and his neutral attack, "bouncin' buzzsaw." Sharpshooter" is a short-range ability when not activated by stripes passive Grudgeholder. When activated, it allows Stripe's "Sharpshooter" to attack enemies from anywhere in the game while the target is on. This passive leads to interesting combos and mechanics that sets him apart from the other assassins.
As an Assassin, Stripe wants to get up on your face and dish out lots of damage while also maintaining his health. Stripe does this effectively as he doesn't necessarily have to be Melee at all times and uses his ranged abilities to mix up his damage options and keep enemies on their toes, making him the most versatile Assassin class champion in the entire game. Stripe also has a not-so-practical chainsaw that's fun to use with good damage.
