How Holliday beats Kelvin
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.

- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
- 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
- 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
