How to play Abrams
Abrams has the bulk and sustain to lead from the front, often running into the middle of his foes and watching them scatter. If his enemies waste their fire on him, his backline teammates can lay out damage with impunity.
Winning Abrams players open with Close Quarters and Extra Regen, spike in the mid game with Melee Charge and Bullet Resist Shredder and close it out with Crushing Fists or Superior Duration.
Abrams game plan
A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.
How to beat Abrams
- Kite him. Outside of Seismic Impact, Abrams has one gap-closer; once Shoulder Charge is down, walk backwards and shoot.
- Never fight near walls; a wall turns Shoulder Charge into a stun.
- Buy anti-heal before the second fight. Siphon Life and Infernal Resilience make long trades his.
- Bait Seismic Impact with your frontline before your carries commit.
Respect Shoulder Charge. Punish the 33 seconds after Shoulder Charge is used.
