Introduction Top

Hello, and welcome to the Ultimate Flicker Guide. You may think that it's a bit early for a guide to be called "ultimate," but I can assure you that this guide will be worth your time. In this guide, we will discuss Flicker's counters, who he counters, combos, and when you should play him. We'll also touch on his playstyle.

Abilities Top

Willow Whisper
Willow Whisper
Slot: Heroic Perk

Flicker gains stealth and a move speed bonus when in brush for a short duration. Flicker can then leave the brush and remain stealthed for a time. Taking damage or using abilities removes stealth.

Binding Light
Binding Light
Slot: A

Flicker commands his fairies to swarm a target location, dealing damage to enemies standing within it. When the effect expires, fairy light roots any enemy heroes still within the area.

Fairy Dust
Fairy Dust
Slot: B

Flicker swirls fairy dust around him, slowing and dealing damage to anyone inside the dusted area. After a short duration, the dust ignites, dealing a burst of damage.

Mooncloak
Mooncloak
Slot: C

Flicker and his allies temporarily gain stealth and a move speed bonus. The stealth will break when a hero uses an ability, attacks or takes damage.

Counters Top

The main counters to Flicker are Kestrel, Ardan, and Gwen. Two of them can reveal you and your team while invisible, and Ardan can render your invisibility useless if he traps you in his Gauntlet. Using Crucible]{ is a good way to defend against the [[Gauntlet
However, the easiest way to counter Flicker is by counterbuilding him. When playing against a Flicker, it is vital to build a Contraption as early as possible and start placing Scout Traps wherever you can. This will provide you with vision in him even when he is invisible.

This applies to the enemy as well. It is highly likely that they will place scout traps everywhere. Using Flare Gun to reveal these traps and detonation them is the best way to counter this.

Flicker is a good counter to heroes that prefer to stay away from the fight, and attack from afar. These woukd be heroes such as Celeste, Skaarf, Ringo, and Adagio. Flicker's Mooncloak Ultimate lets his team jump on this kind of hero unnoticed.

Flicker likes allies who need to get close at the beginning of the fight. This would be heroes such as []Reim]], Krul, and Ozo. He is also exceptionally powerful alongside
Heroes who have huge damage outputs that like to get the jump on their opponents, like [Gwen]]
