How do people feel about Sammy's shoulder ram attack? How do you like to use it?

Good knock back on it when it lands, and I want to say it's a safe approach as she can ram through shields, preventing her from getting blocked. I've been using my main a lot more than my secondary, so forgive me if the last bit is false information.

It comboes at low percentages. It passes through a shielding enemy, enabling it to dodge grabs. Kills around 190%. A very safe option for shield pressure or tech chasing. It is one of her best abilities, in my opinion.

Indeed. I like to use it out of zair and from projectile pressure to catch opponents trying to rush in.

It has a pretty good bit of end lag doesn't it? I mean if they ground dodge it they get a free grab.

It can actually get you shield grabbed real easy. I'd use it sparingly against a shield happy opponent

Use it to punish people that are landing, assuming you don't have a charged CS.

If you input it late and in their face, and they shield, you pass through them and possibly bait a shield grab. Possible free punish.
If they roll behind, you probably caught their roll.
If they roll through you, back to neutral.
That's generally how I've seen it go.
