Your game plan as Viscous

A blob of goo who saves allies and punches enemies through walls.

How to beat Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

• 01Stay under overhead cover; Lash needs a clear line to grapple.
• 02Break line of sight during the Death Slam channel to avoid being connected.
• 03Stun him mid-air; he has few escapes once committed.

1. 01Farm is close (+4 last hits per match), so trades decide this lane, not last hits.
2. 02Lash looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Lash has sustain (Flog). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
