FREEZE!

Hey everyone! So, you're looking to master Tesa in Brawlhalla, right? I totally get it. When I first started playing Tesa, I was a bit overwhelmed by her unique playstyle, but once you get the hang of her gadgets and how to effectively 'freeze' your opponents, she becomes an absolute powerhouse! She might not be as straightforward as some legends, but trust me, the payoff is huge. Tesa wields the Battle Boots and the Cannon, a fantastic combination that allows for both aggressive close-quarters combat and powerful, spaced attacks. The Battle Boots are amazing for quick, successive hits and setting up aerial juggles, while the Cannon delivers devastating blows that can send opponents flying off the stage. The real magic with Tesa, in my opinion, lies in understanding her signatures – particularly how they can lead to those satisfying 'freeze' moments. Her Sigs (Signature Attacks) on both weapons offer incredible stun and knockback potential. For example, her Cannon Down-Sig launches opponents upwards, leaving them vulnerable for a follow-up. And her Battle Boots Side-Sig? That's a fantastic horizontal attack that can really catch people off guard, often leading to a 'first strike' advantage in a skirmish. When I'm playing Tesa, my go-to strategy often involves using the Battle Boots to rack up damage, then switching to the Cannon for a powerful finish. A key tip is to always look for opportunities to string together light attacks with her signatures. Don't just spam Sigs; use them strategically to punish dodges or recover off-stage. I've found that practicing these combinations in training mode makes a huge difference. You'll start to see how you can 'freeze' an opponent in place, allowing you to land that critical next hit. Speaking of 'freeze' and landing crucial hits, getting the 'FIRST STRIKE' in an exchange is super important with Tesa. Her fast attacks with Battle Boots make this easier to achieve. I often try to bait out an opponent's attack, dodge, and then counter with a quick string to get that initial damage. This early damage accumulation can snowball quickly. One thing I've noticed is how different Tesa feels against various legends. For instance, fighting a Mordex can be tricky because he's so aggressive with his Scythe and Gauntlets. You need to use Tesa's range with the Cannon to keep him at bay, and then capitalize on his aggressive pushes with well-timed Battle Boots combos. On the flip side, playing with a Mordex teammate in 2v2s can be amazing; their aggressive play opens up so many opportunities for Tesa to land her heavy-hitting Sigs. Mastering Tesa isn't just about learning combos; it's about understanding spacing, timing, and opponent prediction. Keep practicing, watch pro players use her, and most importantly, have fun freezing your foes into submission! You'll be climbing those ranks with Tesa in no time, trust me!
