Junk Man

"It's my character! I'm the junk man! I come out, I throw junk, all over, all over the stage! And then, I start eating up the enemy's health! And then I take my Junk Gauntlet, and I bash the guy with it!"

Overview
Junk Man is the closest thing to a grappler archetype, he needs to get close, he struggles doing it, but once you're in, you're in. It's gonna be rare for your opponent to come out without losing half of their health without some high mobility or managing to out DPS you thanks to his shield and punch combo, however his kit is extremely ammo dependent, and if you're not careful, you can get caught off-guard without any way to defend yourself..

Main
Summon a Junk Cube in front of you. You can punch it in order to make it move, it's pretty huge and blocks shots, making it useful as a barrier, or for blocking choke points or teleporters. The cube, when punched with alt fire will move slowly, you can redirect it multiple times, when punched with Reload, it will go rather quickly. Due to the rather long start up of the Cube + punch, it's used defensively or needs good predictions in order to be most effective.

Alt
Punch in front of you, knocking any Junk Cube's forward very rather slowly. You also shoot out a chunk of scrap, serving as one of your more viable ranged options, it cost some of your junk ammo but thankfully you can pick it right up.

Item
Junk Shield, pretty self explainatory, you summon a bunch junk that orbits you, serving as a 40% shield that disappears after absorbing 40 points of damage. It also emits damage around you, serving as a pretty high DPS source when you're close. Using Junk Shield again when it's out shoots out the previous shield and refreshes it, the projectile stuns any opponent hit, making it your best way to get closer, it will cost half of your ammo bar, so watch out to not get caught without any ammo or shield.

Reload
Junk Man does the big punch. The difference between this punch and your altfire's is that the junk scrap has way more range, is bigger, is more powerful and instantly make the Junk Cube go at max speed, however, the scrap takes more junk ammo, has a slower rate of fire, and it launches back the opponent when they're hit by the punch, the latter can be useful against high DPS classes that can shred your shield.
