How Solomon beats Calico

Mystic vs Assassin

Keep your CC for their dive. One stun on an assassin is usually a kill for your team.

Your game plan as Solomon

A strategist who builds the board before the fight starts.

Lane
Setup Bishop stays put indefinitely; move it to slow and damage enemies.
Mid game
Rook Battery immobilises and bounces off walls. Fight near terrain.
Late game
Kingside Knight promotes an ally with barrier and stamina, or develops yourself as king.

How to beat Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

  • 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
  • 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
  • 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.
