=== GRAPPLE ===
In this scenario you are in close quarters with an enemy but they have their shield up which is preventing your stun. You also can’t shield because you ran out or released it too early. Introducing the often overlooked third option: physically grabbing the enemy player’s avatar.
* '''Hold & Juke''' - Also referred to as leeching and will be covered in more detail later. Essentially, anchor yourself to the enemy while you wait for their shield to run out.
* '''Push Away''' - Quickly remove yourself from the altercation by slapping the player away, pushing you to a safe distance out of stunning range. 
* '''Counter Play''' - If an enemy player grabs you, then simply grab them back. Doing so will cancel out their grab and leave you both floating in free space. You will still need to act afterwards, but this simple move can throw an enemy off their flow, when they will likely throw up their shield in panic. Try it!
To summarise:
 '''Shield > Stun'''

 '''Stun > Grapple'''

 '''Grapple > Shield'''
