How Dynamo beats McGinnis

Your game plan as Dynamo

The fight-warper. Dynamo’s whole game is the one Singularity that wins the match.

Lane
Kinetic Pulse knocks up and trades well; Quantum Entanglement escapes and restores stamina.
Mid game
Heal with Rejuvenating Aurora between fights. Join every objective — you’re the team’s reset button.
Late game
Singularity into a grouped team is the best ultimate in the game when it lands. Teleport in with Quantum Entanglement, pop it, let allies follow.

How to beat McGinnis

The engineer. McGinnis wins by making the battlefield hers before the fight.

  • 01Destroy turrets before fighting near them.
  • 02Walk around Spectral Wall’s edge rather than through it.
  • 03Dive her; she’s slow while casting Heavy Barrage.
