How to play it
One wall away from the fight, because his blast only reaches 1.67 tiles and every second of charging is a second he cannot move or defend himself.
The torpedoes track, so fire them at a target behind cover or at the objective rather than at whoever is standing directly in front of him.
Common mistakes
- Over-inflating until the balloon bursts on him instead of releasing at full size
- Charging in the open where the tell gives every enemy time to walk away
- Releasing a fully charged balloon at a target already leaving the radius
