How McGinnis beats Nurse Harrow

Your game plan as McGinnis

The engineer. McGinnis wins by making the battlefield hers before the fight.

Lane
Mini Turrets zone and poke; Medicinal Specter heals you and your partner.
Mid game
Spectral Wall splits teams and slows. Place it to cut off retreats.
Late game
Heavy Barrage rains rockets on a location. Drop it on objectives and chokes.

How to beat Nurse Harrow

A battlefield medic who heals with her gun, starves enemy buffs with leeches and terrifies anyone who looks her in the eye.

  • 01Turn your back to Lurking Terrors: facing away halves its damage and stops the terror building.
  • 02Burst the Wretched Vapors target after the rush ends; the delayed damage lands all at once unless she heals it.
  • 03Pressure Harrow while Healing Needles is loaded; her clip is healing allies, not shooting you.
