How Silver beats Venator
Brawler vs Marksman
Close the gap or don’t fight. Marksmen win at range, so use corners and troopers to approach, and spend your gap-closer only when you can follow through.
Your game plan as Silver
A feral long-range fighter who gets more dangerous the closer she gets to death.
Lane
Slam Fire reloads instantly and deals bonus damage based on target health.
Mid game
Entangling Bola slows and stops movement abilities. Throw it to start your team’s dive.
Late game
Lycan Curse triggers at max bloodlust; at low health she becomes scarier, not weaker.
