3
 Petal Use suppressing fire to kill her minions, then destroy! Use your crucible for when she uses her ultimate.
3
 Skaarf Be on the move so his fireballs don't hit you and keep shooting. Even if he hits you your lifesteal should heal you back up.
4
 Krul Your damage and lifesteal should be able to get Krul to low health easily and as long as you don't let him get too many hits on you you'll be fine.
5
 Ardan Ardan doesn't have a stun so use Suppressing Fire to get all of the Spin Up and keep shooting.
6
 Adagio His stun might be annoying but you can still defeat him.
6
 Joule Don't get hit by KAMEHAMEHA and her jump and you win.
6
 Ringo For Ringo, use suppressing fire when he can't reach you yet
7
 Glaive Glaive can be dangerous so stay away most of the time.
7
 SAW Another Saw? It depends on his build and who attacks first.
8
 Celeste Celeste can stun you and deal damage but just use Suppressing Fire then knife her to get her health down.
8
 Taka Be careful when you use Suppressing Fire as Taka's Ultimate can go behind you. Otherwise, you can totally wreck him.
9
 Catherine Catherine can stun you out of your stacks of Spin Up and her Stormguard shield can deflect a lot of damage. Stay away and only attack in team fights.
9
 Koshka Koshka can stun and deal DAMAGE so stay away after she gets to level 6.

   No Threat

INTRO Top

SAW can do ENORMOUS amounts of damage but he is very slow and can be stunned easily. This build will make both your abilities and your basic attacks wreck havoc. Plus, the Crucible can block a stun.

Pros and Cons Top

PROS

High damage and lifesteal
Can survive for a long time
Has decent energy

CONS
Can be countered with Metal Jacket and Aegis
If you get stunned you're done

TIPS Top

Start


At the start, get Book of Eulogies to help you stay healthy in lane. Use Suppressing Fire to keep the opponent laner away. If you get lower than half health and someone is chasing you be sure to use Halcyon Potion so you can keep yourself alive. Keep farming and get your first Serpent's Mask. Then, buy Sprint Boots. If your teammates need help, go and help them. Be careful of ganks and especially heroes that can stun like: Catherine, Adagio as they could stun you out of the stacks of Spin Up

Mid Game


You should have at least two Serpent's Mask by now so as long as you keep your stacks high you can pretty much kill any hero. Start getting items to counter the opponents such as Metal Jacket or just buy Crucible. Travel Boots would be very helpful at this stage because you can run faster when you have 12 stacks. Begin buying crystal items as well to get to Shatterglass.

Late Game


Now, almost nobody can kill you. You should be close to full build and if you want more lifesteal and energy get an Eve of Harvest instead of a defensive item. Help your teammates all the time and keep your stacks high. Even if you get stunned, Roadie Run them and when you roll back use Suppressing Fire to get back up.
