MARATHON
VANDAL GUIDE

"Movement chains. Force fights at ranges they can't handle."

Vandal is Marathon's movement specialist. Jump Jets force engagements at ranges the enemy isn't prepared for, heat capacity lets you chain mobility abilities, and aggression traits reward pace. The build IS the strategy.

HOW TO PLAY VANDAL

Set the tempo. Jump Jet into positions they don't expect, commit to close range, rotate out before they adapt. Vandal punishes slow, methodical teams — your job is to make them play your game. Pair with close-range weapons.

  • Forces favorable engagement ranges
  • Dominant solo ranked pick
  • High skill ceiling
WEAKNESSES
  • Medium HP/shield
