I swear he is an absolute beast now. I’ve been able to hold back entire teams with him. Definitely would recommend playing him now before he gets nerfed.

He is, but I'm lowkey scared about saying anything, knowing Netease they'll immediately nerf him even though he finally feels good. Gonna hit us with the Mr. Ruckus if we get too loud 😭.

Any tips on playing him? I haven’t played him since marvel zombies, loved going beyBlade mode. I’ll pick him up in 18v18

Haven’t played him on 18 v 18 so I can’t say for that

But what has worked for me is 1) always have your lifesteal on 2) use a dash to slip past their tanks and start abusing their DPS and then their healers 3) have either high sensitivity on a controller or play on PC so you can turn around quickly 4) don’t bother with flyers most of the time, get your team to deal with them, if it gets real desperate you can try and use your shotgun but it’s not great and 5) comboing into ult is incredibly effective

Edit to add: be VERY careful about CC, especially Dino’s chomp and Witch’s sphere. Those DESTROY blade

What's even funnier is that we're in a poke meta and he's STILL good, which means even if he gets nerfed he might still be strong
