How Calico beats Haze

Assassin vs Assassin

Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.

Your game plan as Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

Lane
Gloom Bombs out-trade most heroes at range; Leaping Slash heals you if it hits a hero.
Mid game
Possess Ava to roam unseen on the minimap and pick off heroes who rotate alone.
Late game
Return to Shadows makes you untargetable. Use it to dodge a key ultimate, then come back in for the kill.

How to beat Haze

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

  • 01Hold a stun for Bullet Dance. Any reliable CC ends it.
  • 02Enemies close to Haze can see through Smoke Bomb, so stay near teammates.
  • 03Pressure her lane early; Haze is weakest before her items.
