How Drifter beats Rem

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.
