Description
Dillon is a ranger in the west who defeats the diabolical Grocks and helps villages. He almost never smiles, although he does have a small sense of humor. As an armadillo, his favorite mode of transportation is rolling at high speeds.
Abilities & Strategy
Dillon's moveset is relatively basic, with a few of his attacks resembling other characters'. The most unique part of him is how his attacks are either pretty weak or surprisingly potent, depending on which you are using. He has a terribly slow walking speed, but this is easily made up for by his running speed (which is shared by Fox) and side special. The best combos Dillon can most likely pull off involve using his Roll Attack to follow the opponent after launching them and quickly cancelling it into an attack like his forward aerial or up aerial. Roll Attack is also excellent for mind games.
