This attack is so powerful that you can knock out enemies with it. But can it break a snowball? No, it cannot. Snowballs seem pretty strong against the Deku Smash and it just rolls off when hit by the ability. That is, Snowballs does not take damage from Deku Smash.

The Dragon Ball Z collaboration brought in the Kamehameha ability. It is one of the most powerful ways one can knock enemies out. But will the Kamehameha destroy a missile that is cruising fast against you? No, it will not destroy the missile and you will simply get knocked out by the RPG.

7. Will Ziplines break character?

Fortnite is known for many glitches that break characters. Remember the Deku Smash glitch which broke the character so that you could run parallelly on the ground? So, do the ziplines do the same? Yes, the Ziplines are also a character-breaking utility.

6. Fall damage and sliding

There have been a lot of instances where players succumb to death from fall damage. So is there a way to overcome this in Chapter 4? Yes, there is. When falling down, just before players hit the ground, they need to slide. Using the slide eliminates the fall damage and players won’t sustain HP reduction.

5. Snowball vs Kamehameha

We already talked about whether Deku Smash breaks a snowball. But in the case of the Kamehameha, it is quite the opposite. You will instantly get fried by the insane Kamehameha ability and hiding behind the snowball will help you in no way.
