How Drifter beats Abrams
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 Drifter
A stalker who marks a target and then makes sure no one can save them.
Lane
Rend in close range for bonus melee damage. Stalker’s Mark bleeds; re-activate it to pounce.
Mid game
Hunt the hero your team can’t reach. Marked targets running away are still in trouble.
Late game
Eternal Night blinds the enemy team to everything around them. Engage the moment it’s up.
How to beat Abrams
A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.
- 01Kite him. Outside of Seismic Impact, Abrams has one gap-closer; once Shoulder Charge is down, walk backwards and shoot.
- 02Never fight near walls; a wall turns Shoulder Charge into a stun.
- 03Buy anti-heal before the second fight. Siphon Life and Infernal Resilience make long trades his.
- 04Bait Seismic Impact with your frontline before your carries commit.
