How Calico beats Seven

Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

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.

  • 01Break line of sight during Storm Cloud; it does no damage without it.
