How Is Shell Jab Used?

This card is used mainly by Aquas as a high-damage card, especially if they need the additional shields and conditional damage. Players use it to catch off-guard enemies with big damage and punish them for staying idle.

What Kind of Axies/Teams Use Shell Jab?

Most of the Axies that use this card are Aquas in AAP (Aqua-Aqua-Plant) team compositions. It’s a potentially high-damage horn card that can be used in taking out both squishy and tanky Axies. 

Spinal Tap

Pairing it with Spinal Tap and other targeting moves can give players easier access to idle targets.
