How Wraith beats Apollo

Marksman vs Assassin

Assume they’re flanking you. Stay near teammates and hold your escape for their burst.

Your game plan as Wraith

A duellist who isolates targets and teleports out before anyone can respond.

Lane
Card Trick builds cards with weapon damage; throw them for bonus effects.
Mid game
Project Mind is a teleport. Use it to flank, or to escape.
Late game
Telekinesis lifts a hero and slams them where you want — pull the carry into your team.

How to beat Apollo

A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.

  • 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
  • 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
  • 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.
