How to play Haze

When Haze fixates on a target she can hold her own in a firefight. She prefers to create one sided exchanges, avoiding damage then picking off unsuspecting targets up close.

Winning Haze players open with Rapid Rounds and Extra Spirit, spike in the mid game with Bullet Lifesteal and Surge of Power and close it out with Ricochet or Silencer.

Haze game plan

The one-sided exchange. Haze wants to shoot you while you can’t shoot back.

Lane
Farm. Sleep Dagger for safety, Smoke Bomb to reposition. Fixation stacks with every bullet, so focus one target.
Mid game
Flank from invisibility. Sleep one hero, kill the other.
Late game
Bullet Dance shreds grouped enemies, but only cast it when no one can stun you out of it.

How to beat Haze

  • Hold a stun for Bullet Dance. Any reliable CC ends it.
  • Enemies close to Haze can see through Smoke Bomb, so stay near teammates.
  • Pressure her lane early; Haze is weakest before her items.

Respect Bullet Dance. Punish the moment she’s used Smoke Bomb.
