How Haze beats Shiv
Assassin vs Brawler
Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.
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.
