How to beat Abrams
A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.
- 01Kite him. Outside of Seismic Impact, Abrams has one gap-closer; once Shoulder Charge is down, walk backwards and shoot.
- 02Never fight near walls; a wall turns Shoulder Charge into a stun.
- 03Buy anti-heal before the second fight. Siphon Life and Infernal Resilience make long trades his.
- 04Bait Seismic Impact with your frontline before your carries commit.
