Kingambit positions itself as a wallbreaker and late-game sweeper thanks to its signature ability in Supreme Overlord. Sucker Punch allows Kingambit to threaten faster opponents and would-be revenge killers such as Tornadus-T, Volcarona, and Mega Medicham. Tera Dark lets Kingambit strengthen its wallbreaking capabilities against bulkier teams. Tera Flying instead lets it play around potential revenge killers, putting them in checkmate situations by turning its Fighting and Ground weaknesses into resistances. 140 Speed EVs let Kingambit outspeed Skeledirge. Entry hazard leads such as Glimmora, Landorus-T, and Annihilape help Kingambit power through its checks by punishing switches. Kingambit is susceptible to faster Fighting-type Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Mega Lopunny, and Urshifu-R, as they will not succumb to a boosted Sucker Punch. Thus, wallbreakers like Dragapult, Dragonite, Espathra, and Iron Valiant that punish foes for using Fighting-type moves help form solid offensive cores; they can also pressure bulky Steel-types that check Kingambit, such as Ferrothorn, Corviknight, and Heatran. In return, Kingambit helps check Psychic-, Ghost-, and Fairy-types, such as Dragapult, Tapu Lele, and Gholdengo.
