Notes

Strat

Pick the target with the least number of defensives and call it in the room or follow someone else’s lead.

Then -> Basic opening CC -> Big Go -> mini Go and repeat.

This is the simplest script to follow. Make sure you kidney the kill target and land some CC on the healer.

Repeat until someone dies.

You want to get the most in the opener

Generally it’s better to use all your major offensive abilities in the opener. Play like you’re trying to force a kill. But once you force the cool-downs don’t tunnel, go into peel mode till your next kidney.

Keep your bleeds up stay structured

Heaps of crap will happen throughout the game, just make sure you kidney off CD on the kill target every 30s Big Go every 2 mins Mini Go which is kingsbane with kidney every min And then kidney every 30s on kill target

Ideally you want CC on the enemy healer when you land kidney. But that’s up to your teammates, if you can coordinate it try sync your kidney woth their CC.
