Aim Master only hits one character, so do not use this for Happy Birthday situations, stick with the basic combo or the simple relaunch.

Assist Extensions & Combo Enders

Taskmaster benefits from assists by:

  • Converting his throws into a combo. It is possible to combo solo from his air throw but has minimum height requirement, and is timing dependent.
  • Building large amount of meter; allowing him to Double Legion Arrow or DHC more often.
