How Drifter beats Haze

Assassin vs Assassin

Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.

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 Haze

The one-sided exchange. Haze wants to shoot you while you can’t shoot back.

  • 01Hold a stun for Bullet Dance. Any reliable CC ends it.
  • 02Enemies close to Haze can see through Smoke Bomb, so stay near teammates.
  • 03Pressure her lane early; Haze is weakest before her items.
