Hype Man is an offensive fighter with a Signature Ability that allows him to drain the opponent's Blockbuster meter while also providing his teammate's Blockbuster meter when activating Hype Mode.
Hence, it is recommended to equip a WULF SHOOT that can gain HYPE upon successful use.
Hype Man drains meter even from his blockbuster hits, so equip blockbusters that can deal multiple hits, such as LUPINE PUMMEL and GEATISH TREPAK. During HYPE MODE, these moves will easily refill blockbuster meter, allowing you to chain these two moves together repeatedly.
Due to his ability to give his teammates easy Blockbuster meter, Hype Man is considered one of the best counters to the Into Thin Air catalyst. Not only does his drain give him the ability to quickly charge Blockbusters but also allows teammates to tag in with a Tier 3 Blockbuster ready to get the points for a Blockbuster kill.
Marquee Ability: DEFENDING CHAMP is the recommended Marquee Ability and will help keep Hype Man on the upper hand as he deals damage.
Stat Investment[]
General Investment: As an offensive Beowulf, Hype Man is best built with Attack, Piercing and Special Cooldown.
Special investment: As he already has easy access to Blockbuster meter, Meter gain is not a recommended stat on Hype Man.
