How to counter Fang — tips

  • Bait their Super before committing to a fight
  • Draft Bolt and lean on the "Toss Up" Star Power — it is the most consistent answer to Fang (52.4% win rate in the matchup).
  • Pick a Marksman or Controller to punish their approach
  • Save "Rocket Laces" for the moment Fang tries to land its Super — it cuts the key window.
  • Bait Fang's "Corn-Fu" from behind cover before you commit; that Gadget is its fastest answer when losing a trade.
  • Against Fang (D-tier, 43.5%), the key is denying space: every wall or bush you own reduces its effectiveness as a assassin.
