About

Miles Prower, nicknamed "Tails", is Sonic's best friend.

Debuting in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, he's been following Sonic around ever since, aspiring to be just like him. Trying to prove himself as a hero, as well as fighting against Sonic's archnemesis, Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.

His biggest character trait and definer is his two tails. Using them, he can fly around, or use them as weapons. He's also known for his extremely high IQ, allowing him to build technology to help out his friends.

In-Game

Tails is meant to play in a supportive role, being able to handle himself for short periods while also saving his team.

Flight

Ability 1

30 second cooldown

Mapped on Jump

By pressing Jump whilst in the jumping state, Tails will begin to spin his tails and fly.

He will do a massive burst into the sky, and he will slowly descend instead of drop quickly.

If you press jump again while in this state, you will do another massive burst into the sky. You can do this up to another 2 times after the initial burst.

If you are in LMS, you will be able to launch yourself 3 times after the initial burst, as well as be able to be in the flight state for slightly longer.

You can carry other players with this move by getting close to them. They will be able to jump off by holding jump until they are out of your range.

Cannon

Ability 2

25 second cooldown (24 if full stun landed)

Stuns for 4 seconds (6 if charged)

Mapped on Custom 1

Tails can charge an arm cannon by holding Custom 1

To fire it, he must hold the button down for atleast one full second.

When fired, the cannon will shoot out a ball of extremely fast moving energy, which will stun for 4 seconds.

The longer you charge the cannon, the different side effects that you will see.

Tap C1 / Short Charge

The cannon will fire at a speed of 60 FRACUNITs and will stun for 4 seconds. It will do 15 damage if the thing you shoot at can lose HP.

Medium Charge

The cannon will fire at a speed of 120 FRACUNITs and will stun for 6 seconds. it will do 30 damage if the thing you shoot at can lose HP.

High Charge

The exact same as medium charge, but the cannon will now fire at 180 FRACUNITs.

Overload

The exact same as high charge, but can now bypass stun. Tails will also be knocked away from the force.

This releases automatically after holding the cannon for a while.

Tail Whip

Ability 3

24 second cooldown (24 if full stun landed)

Stuns for 4 seconds (6 if charged)

Mapped on Spin

By pressing Spin, Tails will begin to spin around while keeping their tails out.

If you hit an EXE, it will stun for 1.5 seconds.

This move redirects all your momentum into the angle of your camera, being good to catch the EXE off guard.

Playstyle

Tails is a support character. While fast stuns and good mobility like Tail Whip and Flight may suggest, Tail Whip's stun is too short, and Flight's cooldown is too long. Having someone with them to help keep Tails safe is key to you being able to survive as them. Their best position is to stick next to other survivors due to their Flight ability being able to get people out of a pinch. However, if necessary, they can also help from afar with their cannon.
