Gameplay guide
Paquito is a high-mechanics EXP-lane or jungle fighter who gains Champ Stance after three skill casts, making the next enhanced skill immediately available regardless of its normal cooldown. Choosing enhanced shield, dash burst, or airborne control defines each sequence.
Maintain one or two stacks while farming so Champ Stance is close without being accidentally consumed. Use Heavy Left Punch when incoming damage requires shielding and Jab when a clear line permits a quick trade.
Approach from fog, use normal skills to reach three stacks, then select enhanced Jab for burst or enhanced Knockout Strike for control. Use the post-enhancement speed to reposition rather than standing for basic attacks without purpose.
Target a single carry after hard control is spent. Enhanced Heavy Left Punch can stack with the normal shield when survival matters more than maximum damage; do not enter several enemies just because the passive is ready.
Check the passive count before entering and plan which Champ Stance cast the fight requires; an enhanced skill has separate availability even when its normal version is cooling down.
Use Heavy Left Punch and Jab to shift around the target rather than repeating one line, preserving a dash to avoid retaliation.
The first Jab activates Champ Stance and its enhanced version immediately reuses the dash for maximum burst, followed by shield and displacement.
Two other skill castsUse stacked shields to absorb key damageExit at bonus speedNormal and enhanced shields stack; this sequence converts Champ Stance into survival when turning a duel or front-line exchange.
Aamon often has to answer Knockout Strike with Slayer Shards, giving Paquito's team a clearer second engage after the cooldown.
The control from Knockout Strike breaks Badang's movement chain and exposes the committed target to allied damage.
The control from Falling Starmoon breaks Paquito's movement chain and exposes the committed target to allied damage.
Shortcut immobilizes Paquito, interrupting the movement Paquito normally uses to enter or escape.
