Villager Hero Matchups and Tips

Villager

C Tier

Villager excels at zoning and controlling space with moves like Lloid Rocket and Timber, allowing for effective harassment from a distance while also setting up traps. Utilize Pocket to absorb your opponent's projectiles, turning their strengths against them, and create openings for punishing aggressive play. However, Villager struggles against fast, rushdown characters who can close the gap quickly and pressure him before he can set up his defenses, so maintaining distance and using aerials like N-air as an out-of-shield option is crucial. Always be mindful of your recovery with Balloon Trip, as it can be intercepted easily, leaving Villager vulnerable.

Tips for Villager

  • Pocket Wario’s bike to cripple his recovery until one of you dies
  • Pocket Zelda's Phantom Slash. It's ridiculously fast when thrown since you don't have to bulid the phantom like she did and the 1.9 multiplier applied to an already very strong move kills at low %
  • If you use a Lloid during neutral, a grounded opponent will usually shield or jump. Jumping almost always can be punished with a fair/bair. Great approach tool.
  • You can use your lloid rocket and slingshot together for distant combos. Most will try to jump your rocket, so when they do, shoot your slingshot. This kills all momentum, and sends them to the rocket
  • As a Villager main I have alot of tips, If you plant a sapling and water & jump or move away while you are, The tree will not grow but the next time you water it the tree will grow instantly
