Due to 8-Bit's slow movement speed, dodging projectiles from other sharpshooters like Colt or throwers like Barley is difficult.Also, note that this should be a last-resort action, as he depends on his booster quite a lot. Keep in mind, this won’t be effective against Penny, Jessie, Surge, Belle, or any other Brawler with mechanics that can deal damage to multiple enemies, as their projectiles won’t be fully blocked. If you are low on health and someone is chasing you, you can place your booster down to tank some shots so you can escape more easily.However, be cautious of airborne Brawlers like El Primo and Edgar who are also fast and can close the distance with their jumps and easily defeat 8-Bit at close range. Additionally, you can also escape by using your Cheat Cartridge Gadget to teleport back to your booster and far away from enemies. 8-Bit has one of the longest ranges in the game to compensate for his slow movement, so keep your distance from enemy Brawlers and out-range them, and if an enemy is chasing you, deal as much damage as you can to them from a distance to force enemy retreat. At the start of Showdown matches, focus first in defeating these Brawlers at a distance before they get closer and can deal higher damage. 8-Bit’s is very vulnerable to fast Brawlers such as Crow and Leon.In Bounty, Showdown, Knockout, Special Events, and speed-based events such as Brawl Ball, his slow movement speed hinders his survivability, but his high health, long range, and high damage output compensates for that, making him still viable in these modes.

However, he is most viable in Heist, Gem Grab, Hot Zone, and Siege due to his high damage output and area control capabilities. Other than his very slow movement speed, 8-Bit has all that one would require from a Brawler - high health and a high damage output, long range, a reasonable reload speed, area control, and even some support abilities, so he functions well in most game modes.If your Super is taken down, focus on charging up a second Super and pushing back enemies. His Super can control a large area and can easily allow you and allies to deal large amounts of damage to enemies. The most important thing to do when playing as 8-Bit is to charge and activate his Super.After exiting his Damage Booster, the movement speed boost lasts for another second. The area of effect from this Star Power covers the damage boost area of effect, so staying inside his Damage Booster's range boosts both his speed and damage output. When 8-Bit is within 7 tiles of his Damage Booster, his movement speed is increased from 580 points to 720 points.
