Electric Slide tips?
I never thought I would struggle with Electric Slide as so many people play her I assumed she is now OP. I haven't got her to Master yet, so maybe I just need more practice but I really don't enjoy ...

I’ve mained her since alpha. It actually makes my stomach churn seein so many people abusing her right now.
Upgrades are important. I prefer the ones that deal more arc damage, reload and regen health in the electric spark mode, or upgrades that get abilities back faster.
Her fire rate rate is slow now but lethal now dealing heavy damage. I like to throw the tornado to the point where it goes past them and push them into it with retreating from my primary. If they stay and play I’ll use my anti gravity ability to launch them into it. You also have to detonate the tornado thingy.
If a level has a cliff or water (not cheese!!!) try to position yourself to just launch them off the edge. Ding ding ding ding!
Theres really only only two ways to fail with her. Not hitting your primary shots, and not having the upgrade that lets you heal and reload while in your spark ability. If you don’t have that last upgrade prepare to run, a lot. Usually they will chase you. Find a cliff or water near by and lead them to it. Most levels have plenty of it.
You can also detonate your tornado in the spark ability.You just have to launch it prior.
Thanks for adding the more professional advice, guys!!
@dwooten77 What happens with cheese? Never tried it! Especially thanks for the upgrade tips, I haven't experimented that much with them since mastering, so will check mine in the morning!
I've been doing even better with Electric Slide since that change to the fire rate, which I thought I'd struggle with as several people said they didn't like it, so found it interesting you compared it with the accuracy needed by Sunflower @realitysquared - Sunflowers being my GW2 main might explain why I feel more comfortable & enjoy playing the character.

@ToastedSarnie Launching someone off a cliff, water, or electric pool gives you the vanquish. Cheese does not. It’s the GW1 way of respawn. You can have someone down to 1% and have felt all the damage and not get the vanquish.
- @dwooten77 Thanks, suspected it was probably that - I've noticed cheese-diving is a new sport with some players!! 😆
Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely try the suggested upgrades and work on my aim more (I'm too used to aimbot Rose!)
