How to Play Quaquaval
Play Around Spinning Edge
| Move | Effect |
|---|---|
 Low Sweep
|
Moxie deals increased damage. |
 Liquidation
|
Moxie grants a shield. |
 Carnival Splash
|
Moxie deals increased damage and grants a shield. |
Quaquaval's gameplay revolves around reaching max vibes and triggering Spinning Edge by attacking opponents or hitting them with its moves. Spinning Edge deals increased damage and/or grants Quaquaval a shield depending on the move that maxed out the gauge.
Ideally, you'd want to max out the vibes with Liquidation to generate a shield if you want to survive longer in fights.
On the other hand, you'd want to max out the vibes with Low Sweep for Spinning Edge to deal increased damage, which is useful for bursting down opponents.
But during improtant teamfights, maxing out the vibes with Carnival Splash would be the best option since you deal increased damage and also get a shield.
Moxie: Quaquaval Passive Effect and Cooldown
Use Liquidation Charges Wisely
Liquidation is a dash move that has two (2) charges, making it a great move for various situations. You can use Liquidation to set up Low Sweep and/or Carnival Splash, or just to stay on top of your targets. You can also use Liquidation defensively when you want to escape opponents or heal up to survive longer.
The key is to use each charge of Liquidation wisely depending on the situation.

Initiate Fights with Carnival Splash
Carnival Splash pulls in opponents towards Quaquaval and stuns them, making it great for initiating fights and setting up knockouts for your team. You just need to position yourself close to as many opponents as possible to get the most out of the effect.
