Team fights where she is expected to stand in the middle and stay there.

Hot Zone, where her Super and her spray both cover a fixed circle for their full duration.

How to play it

Just behind the frontline at the edge of her six-tile cone, close enough for the spray to reach the objective and far enough that a tank has to walk to her.

The aura follows her, so activate it as she steps onto the objective rather than before, and treat it as a reason to stand still rather than as a burst.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting the spray to kill instantly when nearly all of its damage arrives afterwards
  • Activating the aura at range where nobody is close enough to be inside it
  • Fighting marksmen at eight or nine tiles, where her cone does not reach
