How Haze beats Apollo

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 Haze

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

Lane
Farm. Sleep Dagger for safety, Smoke Bomb to reposition. Fixation stacks with every bullet, so focus one target.
Mid game
Flank from invisibility. Sleep one hero, kill the other.
Late game
Bullet Dance shreds grouped enemies, but only cast it when no one can stun you out of it.

How to beat Apollo

A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.

  • 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
  • 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
  • 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.
