To deal high damage with Rocketeer in Smashing Four: Real-time PvP: Real-time PvP, aim for glancing impacts and wall ricochets rather than head-on collisions. Rocketeer unleashes an explosive rocket salvo each time she hits an enemy hero. Maximizing her damage output requires preserving her speed so she can strike opposing units multiple times in a single launch.
How to Aim for Multiple Collisions
Driving Rocketeer straight into the center of an enemy absorbs her kinetic momentum immediately, limiting her to a single rocket volley and stranding her in vulnerable space. To sustain her momentum and trigger repeated volleys, use these launch angles:
- Shallow Bank Shots: Bank Rocketeer off an arena wall at an angle of 45 degrees or shallower before hitting an enemy squad. Angling off the wall allows her to clip targets at a glance instead of stopping on impact.
- Perimeter Clipping: Aim at the outer edge of a frontline hero so the contact redirects Rocketeer across the field toward a secondary target.
- Boundary Traps: When an opponent sits close to an arena cushion, shoot Rocketeer into the narrow gap between the enemy unit and the wall. The confined space causes rapid micro-bounces that trigger back-to-back rocket barrages.
Target Priority and Board Positioning
Rocketeer's rockets deal heavy burst damage that can eliminate units without needing direct physical kills. Direct her pathing based on current board conditions:
- Prioritize Mid-Health Damage Dealers: Avoid dumping early-game turns entirely into high-health tanks unless they obstruct all viable paths. Routing Rocketeer into squishier damage dealers strips away the opponent's offensive momentum.
- Punish Clusters: Look for turns where multiple enemy units are grouped together. A single ricochet through a tight formation allows Rocketeer to bounce between multiple bodies, showering the cluster with rocket splash.
- Plan the Resting Position: Rocketeer is vulnerable to melee bouncers and displacement attacks if left in the center of the arena. Calculate your launch path so she finishes her turn resting against an arena cushion or shielded behind a friendly tank. If a line leaves her stranded in open space without securing an elimination, choose a safer angle that preserves board control.
Team Synergies for Rocketeer
Rocketeer relies on team support to set up crowded board states and protect her between turns. Balance your lineup with archetypes that create compact target zones:
| Partner Archetype | Tactical Role | Impact on Rocketeer |
|---|---|---|
| Displacement Heroes | Knocks or pulls opponents into corners | Creates tight hero clusters for multi-target rocket splash |
| Heavy Frontline Tanks | Absorbs incoming attacks and pins targets | Shields Rocketeer from direct retaliation between turns |
| Speed Buffers | Increases launch velocity and rebound force | Extends travel distance to achieve extra collision triggers |
| Debuff Heroes | Inflicts damage amplification effects | Converts multi-rocket volleys into single-turn board clears |
