Awesomenauts 4.3: Ready to Rock it! is now live on Steam, so log in and try out the latest Awesomenaut to join the cast: Commander Rocket!
What this character lacks in burst damage and size, he more than makes up in the ability to relentlessly harass his opponents in a lane. His auto attack stores up several missiles over time that you all fire at once, allowing Rocket to deal tremendous damage when harassing enemies in a lane with hit & run tactics. His first ability, Rocket Launcher, fires off a huge rocket that travels a fair distance and deals significant damage, while also knocking away enemies. Rocket himself will also be launched backwards by recoil, which experienced players will be able to use to deftly move themselves around the map with!
His final ability, Laser Trap, launches a small device that (after a little charge-up time) starts spinning around and blast enemies within range with lasers. It deals a lot of damage to enemies unable to escape, and is therefore especially powerful when deployed in chokepoints on the map or when teammates help CC enemies!
