Calico vs Victor

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.

How to beat Victor

A man who refuses to die. Victor fights hardest when he’s already dead.

• 01Be ready for the second life: don’t chase his corpse.
• 02Fight him at range; his damage is around him.
• 03Burst through Jumpstart’s regen.

1. 01Victor wins the farm by ~50.1 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Victor wants close range. Keep troopers between you, save stamina for a dash out, and punish them when they over-commit.
3. 03Victor has sustain (Jumpstart). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
