• Multi Dash: Save up to 3 dashes to unleash unto your enemies.

• Using her mastery in Aqua-fu, Dizzy fooled the Scarg prison guards with her water clones and escaped along with her team. After being separated, she went back to her home planet to revitalize her singing career. There she formed a girl band called “the Dizzies” together with her water clones and conquered the Universal Music Charts in no time. A popularity poll showed that one of her clones was more popular than her, causing her to go on a graffiti spraying rampage. After being calmed by her old friends, she joins them into joining the Awesomenauts!

When switching to a class you don’t own, nothing happens. When switching to a skin you don’t own while you do own the class, you instead switch to the default looks of that Naut.
