Allies standing near Gene heal continuously. The effect does not apply to Gene himself.
Star Power
Spirit Slap
His hand deals damage as well as pulling, so a landed grab now opens with a hit of its own.

A range is the trophy count Gene was actually on when each match was played, so switching it changes which matches are counted — never how strong the evidence has to be.

Playing Gene
reviewed 19 Jul 2026A support whose shot splits into a spread at long range and whose Super is a hand that pulls one enemy to him.
Early game
Shoot down the longest lane available so the split covers ground and charges the Super; unsplit shots at close range are wasted.
Positioning
Play at mid-to-long range where the split is at full width, and keep a wall behind you because the pull is a two-way commitment.
Using your Super
Pull the brawler your team can actually kill — pulling their tank into your backline is a gift, and pulling an assassin is worse.
Common mistakes
- Pulling a tank, which delivers a frontline brawler directly into the squishy half of your team
- Using the Super the instant it charges rather than waiting for the isolated target
- Playing close enough that his shot never splits
- Against a marksman playing far back, who his Super can drag into the whole team
- Long lanes, where his shot has room to split and cover width
- Alongside burst damage that can kill whatever he pulls
By mode
Brawl Ball
One pull removes the goalkeeper at exactly the moment the shot goes in.
Bounty
Pulling their highest-star brawler out of cover is the fastest way to swing the score.
