How Deadman Danny beats Kelvin
Your game plan as Deadman Danny
A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.
Lane
Lay Strix Salvo along the lane: the missiles explode when an enemy comes near and mark them, and a charged shot on a marked target deals bonus damage and slows.
Mid game
Chimera Mk1 is your mobility and your engage. Fly in, and when it overheats, dive into enemies to launch them. Miss every hero and you stun yourself.
Late game
Close The Deal grabs one enemy and carries them into the air for heavy damage that is stronger under 50% health. Save it for a carry who is already hurt.
How to beat Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
- 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
- 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
