The same key can trigger different attacks depending on the weapon or form. If there are multiple sections, expand the relevant form to check.

PRIMARY ATTACK

Rocky Jab

LMB

Delivers rapid melee punches.

ABILITY

Stone Haymaker

Leaps to an enemy and applies vulnerability around the landing area.

ULTIMATE

Clobberin' Time

Q

Launches enemies in front of him.

PASSIVE

Unyielding Will

Passive

Is immune to launch, knockback and similar displacement.

HOW TO PLAY

  1. Keep Embattled Leap for helping a pressured ally or retreating.
  2. Use Battle Blitz on a target allies can follow and call the vulnerability window.
  3. End Yancy Street Charge around a choke or objective entrance.
  4. Connect Clobberin’ Time to allied damage instead of using it just to launch enemies.
COMMON MISTAKE

Confusing displacement immunity with damage immunity and ignoring cover.

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.
