New Chromatic Brawler - Colonel Ruffs

Ruffs is the Colonel of the Starr Force, a master strategist, and also… a dog.

• Main Attack - Shoots 2 parallel laser beams that bounce when hitting a wall
  

• Super Ability - Calls forth a supply drop that damages enemies and leaves a buff for friendly brawlers to pick up. The buff increases health and damage and is lost when the Brawler is defeated. It does not stack.
  

• Gadget - Ruffs drops down 3 sandbags to provide cover for himself. Each has 2000 health points.
  

• Star Power - Supply drop now includes a bomb that adds +1000 damage to the drop and also allows it to destroy walls.
