Tips

  • Killer Instinct adds 20% damage below 40% HP. Wait for your team to chunk someone, then jump in.
  • Vanish also gives 30% speed: use it to escape after a kill, not only to engage.
  • Death Mark does +35% damage below half HP. It's an execute, not an opener.

Watch out for

  • Fragile: dies fast if he gets stunned in the open
  • Tanks with crowd control (Gorr, Kael, Tsukasa) shut him down
