HOW TO PLAY

  1. Share protection as Vanguard, seek short attack windows as Duelist and maintain healing range as Strategist.
  2. Use E where its disruption helps your team and where enemy attention does not isolate you.
  3. Before upgrading with F, consider your most-used weapon and your team’s current need.
  4. Follow the hit requirements of the Q challenge and use the requested attacks on reachable targets.
COMMON MISTAKE

Assuming a similarly named ability works identically in another role; check role, weapon and upgrade state together.

Checked: 2026-08-28 · Icons and controls are from official hero pages. Mechanics and default bindings may change with patches. The play plan is editorial advice, not a meta or win-rate claim.
