Armed with his two autocannons that will burn and will decimate your opponents, Mauga is a savage tactician not to be underestimated. He can charge through opponents and rush into the middle of their team with Surge, but also support his team with Hundred Ahead or even fight at close range with his ultimate ability, Cage Fight.
