What Bruno is bad at
- Mecha Legs caps his bonus Attack Speed at 80% effectiveness from all sources, so pure attack-speed stacking scales worse than on other marksmen
- Volley Shot's Powerball and Worldie's Energy Ball are both projectiles, so shields and reflect effects can neutralize his whole burst
- Low base durability and no escape at all — Flying Tackle closes distance rather than creating it, so a diver who reaches him usually gets the kill
- Worldie's value collapses to a single low-damage hit if the enemy team is spread out instead of grouped

EdithTank · MarksmanHardPhylax's bulk soaks a full Worldie bounce, and once she ejects, Lightning Bolt immobilizes Bruno before he can retrieve the Powerball and reset.
