Guide
Moves-
At the start I pick thunder shock since it's does more damage than electroweb, it also has aoe.
Next I'd choose electro ball, BEST MOVE KIT since not only the + upgrade increase further damage scaling, adds with it's aoe, and finally short cool down. (also it's fast execution, and sometimes it become a homing missile). Why not thunder you ask?, it's far more clunky and deals less damage.
Finally Thunder bolt since you squeeze more damage rather than jump and stun lock, since it dashes you to your enemy and if they're on their base you're basically risking your distance. Thunder bolt offers more range safety and able to squeeze more basic atk, it also benefit after using a unite move with energy amp.
Item equip-
Sp. Atk. Specs is a no brainer, it MASSIVELY increase your dps and once you're lvl 13, your damage would be like a lvl 15 aegis slash.
Energy Amplifier is used for extra juice of damage after that unite move that zaps away 1/3 of the enemy hp. It allows Thunder bolt to deal futher 1/4 percent of enemy hp and a finish eletro ball, three shotting enemies with just 2 moves and a unite. It also could work for stealing but you're better off leave that to your birds fellow and frog buddies.
Score shield. "Imma be real with you guys, you can switch this off for other alternative but I like having a safer scoring time and a little more hp so to not get basic atk spam on". Other option could be Buddy barrier since you use alot of unite you get extra hp, choice spec for more damage, muscle band for basic atk speed, focus band for 1v2 clutch, and wise glasses for more spAtk scaling". (Be warn there is a diminishing return in this game since it exist in mathematical laws).
Battle item-
I choose eject button for safer option but most item should work, just dont use fluffy tail on him.
Works Well With
Tanks and dps you stay behind him and he will do the tanking and softening enemies at base for finishers
This is meta top laining. Slap this guy with aoe cookie, buddy barrier, and score shield for armament, gives him barrier skill and he will carry tank while you obliterate from behind
Sheits hit like cocaine when you use him right. This is blastoise but more tanking
