How Deadman Danny beats Paradox

Marksman vs Marksman

A range duel: cover, headshots and timing reloads decide it.

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.

A tactician who swaps you into her team.

  • 01Stay behind your frontline; Swap trades your position for hers.
  • 02Walk out of Pulse Grenade before the radius grows.
  • 03Shoot around Time Wall, not through it.
