How Haze beats Drifter

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 Drifter

A stalker who marks a target and then makes sure no one can save them.

  • 01Stay with your team; Eternal Night isolates people who are already alone.
  • 02Cleanse or out-heal Stalker’s Mark bleed rather than running.
  • 03Peel for whoever he marks.
