How to play it

Play at the absolute back of the map with a wall corner beside you, because her damage falls off toward the enemy and her health does not.

Her Super is an escape that drops grenades where she launched from, so use it the moment someone commits to her rather than after they have already landed a hit.

Common mistakes

  • Shooting at close range where she does a fraction of her damage and reveals her position
  • Saving the Super until she is already low, by which point the escape does not save her
  • Standing in a bush on a map where the enemy has bush vision
