Calico vs Lash

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.

How to beat Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

• 01Stay under overhead cover; Lash needs a clear line to grapple.
• 02Break line of sight during the Death Slam channel to avoid being connected.
• 03Stun him mid-air; he has few escapes once committed.

1. 01Lash wins the farm by ~17.8 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Lash looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Lash has sustain (Flog). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
