Squirrel Girl is a duelist with high mobility, swarm mechanics, and sustained harassment. Her ability to overwhelm enemies with hordes of squirrels makes her a unique pressure pick that thrives in messy, extended fights. She excels at distracting and splitting enemy focus. The key to her playstyle is constant aggression and disruption. She should dart around fights, forcing enemies to deal with her summons while she chips away with damage. Squirrel Girl pairs well with tanks who can hold space, giving her freedom to apply relentless pressure. Her counters include burst duelists, AoE strategists, and vanguards who can shrug off her harassment. While not the most durable, Squirrel Girl’s disruptive nature makes her an annoying and effective pick in drawn-out skirmishes.
