How to play Dynamo

Dynamo keeps himself and his allies healthy while waiting for his moment. Few things can warp a team fight more than a well-coordinated use of Singularity.

Winning Dynamo players open with Extra Charge and Extra Regen, spike in the mid game with Rapid Recharge and Mystic Expansion and close it out with Greater Expansion or Superior Cooldown.

Deadlock Bible take

Dynamo game plan

The fight-warper. Dynamo’s whole game is the one Singularity that wins the match.

Lane
Kinetic Pulse knocks up and trades well; Quantum Entanglement escapes and restores stamina.
Mid game
Heal with Rejuvenating Aurora between fights. Join every objective — you’re the team’s reset button.
Late game
Singularity into a grouped team is the best ultimate in the game when it lands. Teleport in with Quantum Entanglement, pop it, let allies follow.

How to beat Dynamo

  • Never group tight when Dynamo is missing from the map.
  • Rejuvenating Aurora is a channel, so interrupt it.
  • Have one hero hold a stun for Dynamo after he teleports in.

Respect Singularity. Punish the long cooldown after Singularity is spent.
