How Kingambit plays
Supreme Overlord scales attack with the number of fallen teammates, which means Kingambit gets stronger as the game goes longer. The standard play pattern is to keep Kingambit in the back, let the opening leads trade, and bring it in with two or three teammates already KO'd to apply a thirty to sixty percent damage boost.
Sucker Punch priority matters more than the raw attack. At plus-thirty Supreme Overlord, Sucker Punch outright KOs most attackers that try to finish Kingambit late game. Counterplay is denying the priority. Status moves, setup moves, switches, and Protect all bait Sucker Punch into missing, opening a window to remove Kingambit before it converts the damage boost into a sweep. Defiant on the secondary ability is a real consideration in Intimidate-heavy lobbies because the Intimidate drops convert directly into a Kingambit attack boost.
