How Apollo beats Seven
Assassin vs Mystic
Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.
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 Seven
A storm that rolls in once the fight is already messy.
- 01Break line of sight during Storm Cloud; it does no damage without it.
- 02Interrupt the channel with a stun or dive.
- 03Spread so Static Charge only stuns one.
