Lemon shark

[Ohana]

Want to like it, can't get over the really slow lunge cooldown...bad shark.

Or how visible the default skin is.

Shade is crazy hard to see though, now if only it could survive a speargun (even if just barely).

It's a sprint shark, like great white, bull and goblin. Doesn't make it bad..

Lemon is an acquired taste lol

In order to be a viable shark, a shark needs to be able to do at least one of two things: survive a spear gun shot with enough health to survive at least 3 stabs worth of damage more, or be able to dartspam well enough that a mediocre player has very little chance of hitting you with it. If a shark has neither, the only way to get a kill inside most safe rooms is to go in after your teammate.

Goblin and Lemon shark can't do either. Thus, their only saving grace is sneakiness with their ability. Which ultimately places the ball in the divers' court. If they are surprised by fairly obvious trickery, the sharks seem quite strong. If they aren't, you basically have no chance with a bad teammate.

They one thing lemon has going for it is that it's immune to sweaty, overpowered, abusive b.s. like sensor stacking and spawn immunity dpv buoy forest placing, so ironically enough, it's actually good in a tryhard 6-man lobby where everyone's a vet, so long as the other shark is a tank that can draw focus away from you inside rooms.

Even grabbing a diver by surprise isn't good enough with decent divers. The lunge cool down is too slow even with nimble finned to activate powerful tail... dead in the water, I think it's bad.

ipretty much this, its only real use may be for bad/new players that dont know how to deal with sensor/sonar/flare/tag spam, but ups it have some crappy unlock condition

btw play him more like goblin its a lot better but still bad shark against any proper team (note i said proper team not good players those dont even need a mention)

With Double Time, you can already drag away out of the room with the diver, and with the extra damage of the ability, you kill the diver fast enough to render Powerful Tail redundant anyway.

well gobo is one of my favs you need to use his ability to make wrong signals for sharks and you need to his ablilty to get to pats in huge rooms, its not the best but nothing is good if you face some of the most skilled players anyway

Lemon shark taught me how to play sharks in the first place
Lemon shark — best shark
Goblin is the worst

[Carina Ayland]

Get good at it.

[Blue Shark]

git gud
for me lemon is op when I use it

Lemon is an okay shark at most, almost goblin tier. It's got an decent early game, but so does any other shark (other than Mako and thresher). Sole reason it's better than goblin is that it's got an useful ability, which pretty much gets guarentees you a kill, but it's rather difficult to escape the room in mid-late game, causing it to usually get tradeouts unless divers are already distracted by the other shark.

Gonna have to agree, I want to really like the lemon but it makes it so hard to do so when you get caught before you can even lunge again. The ability is neato and all but damn do you get melted.

I'm a trash player and I can use lemon just fine, unlike the white tip. It rly depends on the player: sometimes you manage to adapt, sometimes you don't. Just gotta keep practicing.
Shark itself is good
