Tantrum Heavy attack

Tantrums heavy attack doesn't go across the whole stage like Primal. It's useless to heavy with him because they just stay back & dodge it.

This!
Considering Tantrum is an inside fighter, you're gonna be close more often than not, so his heavy *should* be fine for his playstyle.
It's day 1, give yourself more time to adjust to his game mechanics.
The heavy attack mechanic is fine - but the rest of it is utterly terrible! The problem being is you can only get a melee buff by charging, and the only way to create space is to dash back, at which point you lose your buffs. If you just try and charge in, you're getting dodged or hit. The AI doesn't seem to back up much, so the only way of playing him as far as I can see after the first attack combo is to end on a heavy. That gives you room to charge again, but chances are you are getting hit or dodged. At some point you can trigger unstoppable to get another combo in, but after that you're kind of stuck. All whilst taking damage, so don't expect to play him well and come out with a lot of HP.
you can't sidestep up close. There is a slightly more viable way of playing him that I am figuring out, but it's really hard
no need to sidestep, just fire ranged shots and dash...
doesn't matter though - you still get countered.
But since the buff is keen to lose as long as you're not unstoppable, don't aim at keeping it all the time or stacking it to 10, just explore it mildly when it suits you.
