How Solomon beats Kelvin

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 Kelvin

  • 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
  • 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
  • 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
