How is Smoker in One Piece with his great ambitions? An overview of Smoker's practical combat effectiveness.

Smoker is a beloved character in One Piece: Grand Ambition, and he also demonstrates exceptional strength in the game. Players don't need to worry about Smoker's popularity because he is actually a new character introduced later in the game but has already surpassed many older characters, making him naturally outstanding in certain aspects.

His passive skill "Ten Hands" can reduce enemy movement speed, similar to how he uses Seastone weapons against Devil Fruit users in the anime. This slow effect lasts approximately 7 to 8 seconds and cannot be canceled by substitutes, making enemies move sluggishly during this time. For normal attacks, Smoker's five-hit combo is very practical. The first and second hits cause stun effects, the third hit launches the opponent into the air, the fourth hit keeps them airborne with a smoke hand, and the fifth hit, which is an invincible forward thrust, can be used to escape after four consecutive attacks.

However, it's important to note that there is a long recovery time after performing five normal attacks, making it easy for opponents to counterattack during this window. Skill 1 involves a forward dash that deals damage and knocks back the opponent at the end of the dash, all while being invincible during the dash. Compared to the long recovery time after normal attacks, Skill 1 is easier for escaping from the opponent's attack range, making it a good counter when facing substitutes. Skill 2 can be activated by tapping or holding. Tapping Skill 2 makes Smoker use his smoke hands to lift and slam the opponent down, putting them in a grab state where they cannot substitute out even if they mash the screen.

Holding Skill 2 results in a dash where Smoker releases two rows of smoke arms that fly forward, then he dashes to the endpoint and swings his sword, adding another dash to Skill 2, greatly enhancing Smoker's mobility. The Ultimate Skill has two stages. The first stage is a regular knockback, which can be substituted. If the first stage hits, the second stage becomes a grab that slams the opponent to the ground to finish the battle; otherwise, it turns into a cloud of white smoke that crashes to the ground.

The Finisher is used when the opponent's health drops below the kill line, where Smoker jumps into the air and slams the opponent down to complete the finish. The Ally Support Skill summons Smoker to perform a tap Skill 2, grabbing the enemy, which is one of the few support skills with a grab function. As a character in the game, Smoker is very friendly to new players. Many beginners panic and perform ineffective actions during battles, but using Smoker's straightforward and brutal playstyle can help them think more clearly. Despite his normal attacks feeling like a stationary combo with limited limb extension, his skill mechanics are indeed excellent.

When using Smoker, it's comfortable to use the last normal attack to feint and disengage, combining skills for longer range pulls. Therefore, it's recommended to bring cooldown reduction scrolls. At the start of a match, you can use two skills to rush forward, then click the cooldown button to reduce waiting time. However, note that after five normal attacks, there will be a slowdown effect, so consider following up with Burst Flame Shell for output if there's no Yellow Protection. This decision depends on early equipment status. Bringing a rhythm-breaking scroll is also a good choice as it deals high damage, though it has a lower success rate. To perform well in arenas, try using Whirlwind Shell to suppress opponents. Thus, Smoker is a flexible and highly adhesive character in the game, especially effective against ranged harassers. With two dash skills, he can respond appropriately in both offense and defense.

This concludes the introduction of Smoker in One Piece: Grand Ambition. When facing ranged harassers, Smoker's flexibility and stickiness are crucial. He can quickly close the distance, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and effectively counter those who rely on ranged attacks. Therefore, pay attention to Smoker's flexibility when using him.
