About Uncle Sam
Once a year, around the 4th of July, Uncle Sam steps back into the rotation. This Point Guard is an offensive scoring style built on the national personification, released with its President zone on 14 July 2025. The wiki says it is rolled at 0.25% per spin (1% with Lucky Spins) only while in rotation and otherwise sits among the unobtainable styles.
Declaration (C, 70 seconds) has you dribble while pulling out the Declaration of Independence, then choose Eagle Drive, an eagle-carried dunk, or Star Shot, a cannon-launched shot from half court. Cannon Pass loads the ball into a cannon aimed at the nearest teammate. It cannot be blocked, though abilities can intercept it. The awakening needs no ball: Freedom! is a full-court cutscene with helicopters, soldiers and a tank that ends in a nuclear bomb worth 3 points.
President makes the whole team shoot faster and adds 20% zone bar when you activate it. The wiki's meta note calls it a mid style and one of the worst Limiteds for its 1% chance, and lists no defense as its weakness.
