How Kelvin beats Infernus
Your game plan as Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
Lane
Frost Grenade trades and heals your partner at once. Arctic Beam slows and reduces fire rate.
Mid game
Ice Path is the best rotation tool in the game. Use it to carry your team to objectives.
Late game
Frozen Shelter blocks everything: dome your carry, or dome a fight to split it.
