Deadpool then proceeds to taunt the target and praise the player, boosting F.ATK and F.DEF.

KA-BLAMMY!!!” Press and hold the Artes button during Deadpool’s taunt to make him teleport above the target and simultaneously fire both a grenade launcher and an RPG, creating a massive explosion that affects the entire battlefield.
