Pros

One of the longest ranges in the game, allowing her to damage enemies from further away with less self risk.
Extremely high damage at far range, giving the ability for Piper to have nice execute kill potential.
Has very fast moving projectile normal attack, making it hard to dodge for many enemies - Can escape quite easily with super move.

Cons

Fairly squishy compared to many other brawlers - Close range damage isn't very powerful or impact.
Very narrow normal attack that can be difficult to aim - It can be difficult to learn to use her far range effectively.
Upgrade Priority Attack>Super>Health - Attack is Piper's bread and butter, she can two shot people and pick of enemies with high damage and range.
The super move's damage can be good damage to finish off desperate chasers.
Health is not too important, a misposition will usually result in Piper's death if she doesn't have her super move ready.

Health is not too important, a misposition will usually result in Piper's death if she doesn't have her super move ready.

Strategies & tips

General strategy

Stay in the back, and in a position with a clear aim at the enemy team.
Stay vigilant for flanks, with your low health you are very vulnerable to these.
If caught out, try to walk through the enemy to force missed shots and create time for your team to assist you.
Check long side bushes for your team with your long range.

Primary attack

Use prediction shots, your narrow attack can be difficult to aim; especially on a moving target.
Don't shoot blind too often, your normal attack reload time is quite slow.
Be careful and just land shots until you get super, which allows you to play riskier.
Stay far back to maximize damage, it increases with range.

Super ability

Don't use it recklessly, is is a very good escape tool.
Use the super move to bait enemies, you can force them to chase you, leave bombs, escape and lead them into your team's fire.
You can use it offensively onto a low health target, just walk near them and super back out, dropping grenades onto them

Events

Smash & Grab
Pick off enemies at the start going for the initial gem, both teams will be trying to establish control of the gem mine at this point. Use the knowledge that the enemy will go for gems to aim, knowing their destination will make landing shots much easier. Don't pick up gems, you are a squishy back-liner, leave it to your tanks to hold onto gems.
Showdown
Piper is not amazing in Showdown, but she can get by if played intelligently. Try to pre plan which boxes to shoot, if you can hit them long range you can clear them quickly. Beware of bushes, by sniping them far away you can land massive damage and check for danger. Watch out shooting boxes blind, if you are too far away someone else can simply let you destroy the box for them and take the blue potion.
Bounty
Piper is quite strong on Bounty due to her high damage potential. Watch for enemies going for the initial star, if you can land some good shots they can re-gift two stars to your team. You can easily snipe running enemies for cleanup kills, they will be more hesitant to suicide for 1 star advantage trades if you can simply retrade. Use your range to cover for retreating teammates, this enables your team to escape with stars when otherwise you could lose them right away - Take kills, enemies will chase you to claim your large bounty and die to your ranged shots
Heist
Piper is stronger on defense, but can be played offensively with good teammates. Defensively, Piper has incredible range to zone attackers off her safe, buying much needed time for it to survive. Offensively, you can be very effective with a wallbreaking teammate, your shots can devastate the safe with its range buff. Place your grenades when the enemy is in a tough position, this will enable you to damage them heavily.
