How Rat King beats Silver

Brawler vs Brawler

A brawler mirror is about who commits second. Both of you want close range, so the hero who lands crowd control on the other’s engage wins the trade. Keep stamina for a disengage and fight near your troopers.

Your game plan as Rat King

A scrappy frontliner who makes your bullets work against you.

Lane
Rat Swarm lowers Bullet Resist with every bite. Royal Pestments deflects bullets back.
Mid game
Scrap Grenade slows, and you can melee it to redirect it.
Late game
Rule, Ratannia! makes your team slow-immune and tankier. Plant it before the engage.
