How Apollo beats Dynamo

Your game plan as Apollo

A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.

Lane
Poke with Disengaging Sigil and use its leap to dodge trades. Save Riposte for a predictable incoming ability.
Mid game
Flank fights and look for heroes who blow their cooldowns early; Flawless Advance chains lunges into a kill.
Late game
Itani Lo Sahn is a long-range lockdown that also stops healing. Use it on the enemy carry or healer to open the fight.

How to beat Dynamo

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

  • 01Never group tight when Dynamo is missing from the map.
  • 02Rejuvenating Aurora is a channel, so interrupt it.
  • 03Have one hero hold a stun for Dynamo after he teleports in.
