Uwe Review: The 850% Sniper That Is Surprisingly Fluffy

"Don't let the purple fur fool you. Uwe hits for a massive 850% damage, but his slow speed and conditional chain attack make him a puzzle to solve. Is he a top-tier destroyer or just a fluffy benchwarmer? We break down the stats and strategy."
