Q & A

What is the real strength of Omen according to the script?

Omen's real strength is to lurk and flank with his ability kit, which is made for these types of players. He can use his Shroud Steps to get past enemy traps or abilities while helping his team push from a distance with a long-distance smoke.

How does Brimstone's playstyle differ from Omen's?

Brimstone's real strength is to set up an attack and push together with his team. His smoke range is not as big as Omen's, but he trades that for an extra smoke that lasts longer, making his smokes more valuable when pushing with his team.

What is the primary role of Harbor in the game?

Harbor is designed more as a support agent than a kill agent. His kit is full of abilities that give control over an area of the map without necessarily killing enemies.

Why is Viper's role different from other controllers like Brimstone?

Viper is designed to make kills herself, with every ability doing damage in one way or another, making her a controller that can also output some damage.

What is the unique strength of Cloak that sets him apart from other controllers?

Cloak's real strength is to play aggressively while still being useful for the team with smokes. He is forced to push in first when his ultimate is ready, making him a frontline smoker.

How does Astra's playstyle differ from other controllers?

Astra's real strength is controlling very specific spots around the map with her stars. She can place stars to gain control over specific areas, making her a controller that excels at area denial.

What makes Cipher an effective defender?

Cipher is perfect for locking down one specific site. His abilities are most effective when used to look down one side, making it easy to get kills if the enemies fall for his traps.

How does Fuze's role compare to that of Mute?

Fuze is designed to stop pushes and split up enemies, much like Mute, but his abilities are a bit weaker for just looking down a side. Instead, Fuze is more of a flex controller, able to hold multiple angles effectively.

What is the main strength of Kaid according to the script?

Kaid's main strength is to counter enemies with strong abilities. His knife and ultimate throw can cancel controllers' abilities, making him a strong agent against many controllers and some dualists.

Why is Ash considered a strong operator?

Ash's strength lies in her ability to outplay the enemies with tactical positioning and the use of her teleport at the right time, making her a hard agent to master but rewarding when played correctly.

What is the main goal of playing with Zofia?

Zofia's main goal is to force one-on-one battles due to her octopus and her ultimate. She can predict enemy movements and use her abilities to outmaneuver and outplay them.
