Ribbit Ribbit Real Good! A build guide to Froggy G!(updated after patch 1.15!)

Overview

This is a guide on how I play Froggy G, this guide is for any Awesomenauts player looking for a fun and deadly Froggy g build!

Introduction

If your reading this guide and have just started playing Nauts, then read ahead becauss i cover the basics

In this guide i will explain the origins of The G, the basics of how to play him, and the real meat of the guide, “the blender”build.

Froggy G the lore

Straight out of the marsh pond ghetto’s of planet Ribit IV comes the amphibious B.I.G., also known as Nate Frogg, but mostly known as Froggy G. Growing up in the baddest part of town, struggle and incarceration surrounded Froggy from an early age. Taking part in his first swim-by shoot out as a tadpole, Froggy seemed destined for a life of crime and prison.

After a bloody gangwar with the neighbouring Toad-unit posse ended in a 5 year jail sentence, Froggy G vowed to end his gangsta ways. Instead, Froggy G started earning his keep as a beatboxing streetdancer and rapper, hoping to be picked up by a major record label. Unfortunately, his tracks, titled “Pond Pimpin'”, “Froggin’ dirty” and
“Motherfrogger bounce!” didn’t earn him much.

In order to make some money, and then make some mo’, Froggy G became a hired gun. Combining his shoot-out experiences with lethal watery dance-moves and beatboxing techniques, Froggy G now spins and dashes across intergalactic battlefields, droppin foo’s left and right with his fishgun, hoping to make some money to take his momma out of the hood.
(i totally copied that from the wiki dont hate me)

heres an video showcasing the awesomeness that is Froggy G!And heres his theme, and his AMAZING killing spree music!

The Basics

Froggy G is a nimble, squishy, close range burst damage character that has a tough early game and an amazing late game.

Froggy’s auto attack is his fish blaster
Which does 6 damage a shot with short range

PROTIP
froggys blaster slows him down slightly, but can be extremely deadly if upgraded correctly, at first it should only be used as a finisher.

Froggy G’s primary skill is Splash dash
It does 25 base damage, a stun of .7s, and has a 7 second cooldown

(Somewhat) PROTIP
While in his dash froggy is completely invincible, so you can blow up that pesky yuri’s mines or get away from that instakill leon!

Froggy’s secondary skill is Whirlwind
It does 16 repeatedly for 1.6 seconds and has a 11.6 second cooldown

PROTIP
if you get snared USE TORNADO it does heavy damage and if its upgraded can even deflect projectiles!

Utility
Froggy has the highest jump in the game which is hightened even more with boots, he is also second fastest to a sprinting raelynn.

My build! The Blender

Now that you know the basics its time to get into the meat of the build. If executed correctly and all skills are maxed out you can deal 300 (give or take) damage in a matter of seconds
First The Upgrades

1. Splash Dash!

Splash dash wil be used as an initiator to stun the target so Tornado can finish him/her off!

First We have hammer pants, which is the initiator skill for this build’s tactic It adds 12 damage(per upgrade) for a total of 24 damage, to a splash dash aimed at the ground, which is a pretty hefty amount.

Next weve got ice cubes, which increases the stun duratiion that splash dash induces

And last Is Hydro smash (or the starter damage uprade, they are basicly the same) whic increses the damage of splash dahs even further to a grand total of 65 damage (with ground pound)

2. Tornado!

Tornado will be used once the target is stunned by dash to do MASSIVE damage!

First and most important is Beat box, which increses tornadoes base damage by 4 with 2 upgrades for a total of 26 DAMAGE A HIT!

Next is Twister Tweeters, which adds an explosion to the end of tornado for 20 damage per upgrade(40 dmg total)

And last but not least, is RBAY (right back at ya!) which is a very useful and expensive upgrade which reflects ALL enemy projectiles, these include, ball lightning, nuke, all bullets(EVEN TURRETS!) and raelynnes timerift. More on this later

As for the fish blaster take whatever you want as it does not affect the build.

For utility I personally bring Boots,Power pills LIght and piggy bank, BUT this can be changed, for example you could use both pawer pills and free pills, to have tons of health, or you could swap boots for solar tree at the expense of health or movement speed. Just use whatever feels good to you~

BUILD ORDER
To start grab piggy bank splash dash and boots so you can manuever and gank people easily. Then as soon as you get 225 head back and grab hammer pants, then hydro smash to maximize dash. Then max icecubes. Once youve maxed dash get tornado, and max beatbox. Then max tweeters, and get RBAY. if at any point you feel you REALLY need the health upgrades , by all means get them. Alternately you could get dash-tornado right off the bat to maximize damage, but you will lose movement speed, so its up to you

HOW YOU SHOULD PLAY
As froggy your fast and have incredible vertical movement, use this to youre advantage to outmanuever other nauts early game. To start try to jungle as much as possible, wait for a lonesome enemy and dash him shoot him and then run, rinse repeat until you have hammer pants. Once you have acquired hammer pants start pounding bots to get the solar they drop and then follow the build order. You shouldnt really start trying to kill enemies until youve maxed dash and have beatbox lvl one on tornado, but if your teammates need help go and help out.

LATEGAME TACTICS

Should your team need to push, and you have RBAY you can simply dash into the turret activate tornado, damage the turret and then run, repeat until that terret is toast.
This build is also superior against turtlers, try to lure one out ground pound, tornado and BAM one dead turtle.
