How Holliday beats Abrams
Marksman vs Brawler
Keep the range. Stay behind troopers, kite backwards, and save your escape for their gap-closer.
Your game plan as Holliday
A trick-shooter. Holliday launches you into the air and then shoots you out of it.
Lane
Powder Keg knocks up and burns; shoot it to detonate it early. Crackshot headshots slow.
Mid game
Bounce Pad gives your team rotations and you an explosive landing.
Late game
Spirit Lasso pulls and stuns; Bounce Pad first extends it. Lasso the carry into your team.
How to beat Abrams
A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.
- 01Kite him. Outside of Seismic Impact, Abrams has one gap-closer; once Shoulder Charge is down, walk backwards and shoot.
- 02Never fight near walls; a wall turns Shoulder Charge into a stun.
- 03Buy anti-heal before the second fight. Siphon Life and Infernal Resilience make long trades his.
- 04Bait Seismic Impact with your frontline before your carries commit.
