Otis' Super can help him escape from Tanks and Assassins, if they get too close to him.
Otis can use his Dormant Star Gadget to block off choke points like in Hot Zone and Brawl Ball and prevent enemies from using their abilities. This can be utilized in maps like Parallel Plays and Backyard Bowl. One way is to aim a Super at a choke point near your goal so that when an enemy with a ball triggers it, they cannot shoot the ball and their only option is to walk it in, buying your team a bit of time to stop the goal.
Otis' Super can be used against brawlers with the immunity shield because it's preventing them to attack while they have a shield, and if he doesn't use it on the enemy, they can kill him before you can attack the enemy.
His Super can prevent enemies from passing the ball in Brawl Ball and Basket Brawl. This can be a useful way to prevent enemies from scoring a goal efficiently.
Otis is an insane defender in Heist, as he can stop aggro brawlers like El Primo when they get close to the safe by muting them and then killing him. As an offender, with his Ink Refills Star Power and his Phat Splatter Gadget paired, Otis can deal high damage to the safe.
With Otis' Ink Refills Star Power and his Phat Splatter Gadget paired, he can do a lot of DPS against enemies or the safe in Heist.
In bushy maps like Snake Prairie, Otis' Gadget Phat Splatter combined with Stencil Glue can cover a lot of bushes and can see an enemy with Otis' super on for 4 seconds.
Try to put your Super on close range, because it helps Otis to defeat the enemy faster.
