How to counter Otis — tips

  • Spread out so their crowd control hits fewer targets
  • Draft Glowbert and lean on the "Biotic Ecosystem" Star Power — it is the most consistent answer to Otis (53% win rate in the matchup).
  • Dive them with an Assassin while they're zoning
  • Save "Slippery Savior" for the moment Otis tries to land its Super — it cuts the key window.
  • Bait Otis's "Dormant Star" from behind cover before you commit; that Gadget is its fastest answer when losing a trade.
  • Against Otis (A-tier, 55.5%), the key is denying space: every wall or bush you own reduces its effectiveness as a controller.
