Maps where he can hold a choke from behind cover and detonate at a fixed distance.

Cluttered maps where brawlers get inside the distance his blast detonates at.

How to play it

Behind the frontline and behind a wall, since the blast forms at a set distance and anything standing closer than that is safe from him entirely.

The big bomb covers far more ground than the standard cross, so spend it on a push crossing a choke rather than on a lone brawler who can simply walk out of it.

Common mistakes

  • Fighting anything that has closed inside the arming distance, where he has no attack at all
  • Throwing at a fleeing target when the cross would have covered the ground behind them
  • Standing on the frontline as a 3,000-health brawler with no escape tool
