Early game
Use gadgets freely rather than saving them; both recharge in six seconds, so treating them as a cooldown rotation is how her kit is meant to be played.

reviewed 19 Jul 2026An assassin with two very short gadget cooldowns and a Super that leaves a burning field rather than dealing damage on impact.
Positioning
On the flank rather than in the lane, because she chooses her engagements and her Super wants ground the enemy has already committed to.
Using your Super
The field burns hardest at its outer edge, so place it around a target rather than under one, and treat it as a wall they have to cross rather than a hit.
Common mistakes
- Hoarding six-second gadgets as though they were once-a-fight tools
- Dropping the field on someone already leaving it
- Fighting long standoffs instead of picking single engagements
- Modes where denying a patch of ground is worth as much as a kill
- Fights she can pick and leave rather than standoffs she has to hold
- Maps with cover to rotate between while her gadgets recharge
By mode
Hot Zone
A burning circle costs the enemy the objective without a fight.
Solo Showdown
Short gadget cooldowns mean she is ready for every fight she walks into.
