How Calico beats Nurse Harrow

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 Nurse Harrow

A battlefield medic who heals with her gun, starves enemy buffs with leeches and terrifies anyone who looks her in the eye.

  • 01Turn your back to Lurking Terrors: facing away halves its damage and stops the terror building.
  • 02Burst the Wretched Vapors target after the rush ends; the delayed damage lands all at once unless she heals it.
  • 03Pressure Harrow while Healing Needles is loaded; her clip is healing allies, not shooting you.
