How Haze beats McGinnis
Assassin vs Mystic
Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.
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 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.
