Marquez is a 120 Health Valiant. She has a unique passive that increase your movement speed while aiming. Your ability passive reduces cooldown of your abilities when you are attacked.

Her signature ability is her Toxin trap. You throw it infront of you, it seems that its distance can depend on how quickly you are moving, if you jump, etc though i could be wrong. Feels like it does. It is a mine that can be activated 2 ways. By an enemy coming near it, or by shooting it. The AoE is roughly the size of her other ability which i will mention later. You can have 3 mines active at a time and they persist when you die. Like her other abilities, it slows movement and deals DoT(Damage over time) to enemies within its AoE. It does a good bit of damage when it detonates. A technique i learned is if you throw the trap on a ceiling and destroy it, you can hit enemies on the floor above.

Her tactical ability is her Gas Grenade. Hold the ability button to see the area it will impact. Upon impact it will create an AoE zone that slows enemies and deals DoT to those in the area.

Her ultimate is Toxin Lockdown. Upon pressing the button, your aim is replaced with the aiming of the ability. It is a large AoE ability that covers a large section. You can change the orientation by hitting your aim button. Upon pressing the fire button, Marquez enters a shooting stance in which you are vulnerable while firing the ability. However, one thing to note, your hitbox aligns with the stance, so if you are behind cover, you will shoot over it without exposing yourself. Upon impact a countdown where your ult skill shows on your hud will change to a countdown. When it hits zero, the ability ends. During its active time, any enemies within the AoE take damage and are slowed like her other abilities.

Overall, her kit is simple. However, it has some things worth noting which can give you an advantage.

Firstly, all of her abilities gas goes through objects, be it walls, containers, or other things. This allows you to hit enemies behind cover with a cheeky grenade or mine. This usually ends up with the enemy either dying to the gas or attempting to reposition where you can put them down when they expose themselves. This also helps flush enemies out for your team.

Second, as mentioned, you can have 3 mines down at once. You can either split them up and cover multiple areas, stack them up for easy damage, or pocket one to throw and shoot.

Marquez's weaknesses: Panda is one of your biggest. Not only does his E destroy your mines and grenades, it can clear existing gas from an area.

I want to end this section with one thing: You are squishy. Like the Fox, Bunny, Uly and Cat, you only have 120 health. Pick your engagements, dont be afraid to fall back if you are overwhelmed. You have a team for a reason, work with them. You will be chewed apart by things like Panda's explosives, Uly's Ulymobile, Norman's Ult will one shot you with its lunge, Jack will drop you down to low health with one body shot from his sniper and Jack's T-28 Projectile will kill you in its AoE. Dont try to be a hero and bite off more than you can chew.

The Skunk gets access to Submachine guns, DMRs, and Shotguns. You will typically be playing in close to mid ranges, helping your team flush enemies out of objectives or places of interest.

I will update this section as i use more of her weapons, i found myself comfortable with a few in particular. For now, i will discuss the guns i personally like, and why.

VSK-92: A close to mid range DMR. Capable of Semi Auto(default) or full auto. In the playtests, DMRs felt awful. However, they seem to have changed that. I quite like the VSK. Decent headshot damage, and decently spam-able while being somewhat accurate. Overall, if you prefer to play at mid range, this DMR does well.

M-90(P90): A higher base capacity SMG. This is one of the first SMGs you will get for her. It's reliable and works well in close ranges. If you tapfire, you can squeeze a bit more distance out. Overall, it's fine, but i found myself enjoying another SMG.

SMG5(MP5): So far my favorite gun on Marquez, aside from the VSK. Works great in close to mid ranges, with a decent reload speed with the extended mag. I find it great for initiating flanks after gassing enemies. Is very solid in both ADS and hipfire.


MK4(M14): After using it awhile. I dont mind it much. I still wish it did a bit more body damage but overall. it's fine enough. I think i still prefer the VSK-92 over it.

M88(Mossberg 88 i think): It's fine after the nerfs. Not as much range but in CQC it is still good.

Hello, Im FrostiFur. Firstly, thank you for reading this guide. It's my first guide i felt like actually working on. I like Marquez. Her kit overall is fun and i find her relatively balanced. I do wish she had access to ARs but if not, ill live. I will try to update this guide as things change.

Somethings to mention. I didnt include her talents as really, they're personally preference. Only thing i would maybe say is better is bottom tree for her ability talents. If you are using your AoE well, you rack up Ult charge quickly. Though the top tree can work too.


Im not sure how to end this so umm..Thanks for checking this guide out.
