How Calico beats Silver

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

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 Silver

A feral long-range fighter who gets more dangerous the closer she gets to death.

  • 01Burst her from high health. Chipping her down only makes her more dangerous.
  • 02Dodge the bola; without it she can’t stop you escaping.
  • 03Kill her before she can trigger Lycan Curse.
