Sonny is a Grenade Launcher character in Squadblast.

## Playstyle:

Sonny is a Area Denial Character. He boasts a large health total, alongside an arsenal of Grenade Launchers which are great at shutting down important areas and denying them with minimal ammo usage. His strength comes from his Turrets. Being able to set-up two at a time, he is able to control large areas of space that can provide deadly covering fire that can shutdown many characters. Each turret can soak up to 120 damage, so his opponents will be destracted while destroying them. However, his turrets are only strong alongside teammates. Turrets placed in areas that his team cannot capitalize on will get destroyed without doing much effect due to their simplicity. As well as that, they start construction at a very low health total. Keen opponents can destroy the turrets before they are built if placed within range of them.

## Tips:

### General:

* Sonny has a higher than average Health Total. Don't feel afraid to take a couple shots before needing to escape.
* Grenade Launchers have very strong damage, both dealing a lot in a single shot, but also having strong continuous fire. However, they are very difficult to land and in a 1v1 situation, opponents will be able to pay more attention to dodge them.
* Sonny has a high stamina total while also having Leap. This allows him to leap up to 3 times, so despite his low speed, he has great movement.
* Sonny can play any position in a fight, both as a Back-line covering fire or as a Front-line tank.
* Due to having the lowest armor total in the game, and generally being ammo efficient, it's recommended that Sonny spends most of his time in combat by Poking at enemies from a distance to remove their armor and health, or to set up turrets in favourable positions.
* Sonny should pick a Grenade Launcher that helps cover his team's weaknesses. If you lack damage, Swamp Hog or Shardinator are great choices, whereas if you need to create openings for your team to attack, Shox 33 or Icelight can help.

### Ability:

* Sonny's turrets are very deadly and require your opponents immediate attention to deal with. Use this to your advantage by having them place around where a fight is occuring.
* His turrets have 120 Health and cannot be headshot, this means almost every weapon in the game cannot oneshot them. Specific characters, like Laika and Paavo, or weapons that are high burst but low fire rate, will have trouble clearing them out in a timely fasion.
* Sonny's turrets are Immobile, and fire in a simple pattern. This means that without support from his or his team, they are much less deadly and will generally provide little value.
* Sonny should try and place his turrets preemptively, placing them mid-combat can be hard due to their low starting health total.
* Due to having a maximum of 2 turrets, but only having 1 ability charge, it is recommended to place the first turret in a safe place to cover your team's escape or backline. Afterwhich, the second turret can be used much more aggressively.
* Turrets have incredible range, being able to shoot at enemies while not being on screen. Use this to your advantage to cover large areas.
* Sonny's turrets cannot be damaged by your own team's barrels, or Spear of Thunder Do not be afraid to shoot at them!
