Modes with continuous fighting, where she never has to let the heat drop back down.

How to play it

At the edge of nine tiles with a wall to step behind, because managing heat means she cannot afford to be interrupted mid-magazine.

The steam burst is close-range area damage, so hold it for the brawler who has walked into her rather than firing it down a lane where it lands on nobody.

Common mistakes

  • Firing until she overheats and losing the damage window entirely
  • Backing off to safety and returning cold to a fight she was winning
  • Spending the steam burst at range where its area does nothing
