Overall, Brimstone’s abilities are suited for a more mid-range playstyle. His abilities don’t require him to be close to get the most out of them (unless you’re trying to tag a very specific area with the Incendiary), and since they generally take a couple of seconds to set up accurately, it’s best if you’re out of harm’s way when activating them. Brimstone specializes in dictating the terms of the fight, and in the right hands, can create a truly uneven situation that your team is going to greatly benefit f
Now that Brimstone’s abilities have been detailed, it is important to understand the best way to utilize them. Brimstone excels at an area denial playstyle, that can provide excellent support for his team while preventing any attacks from being launched by the enemy t

This smoke can be used offensively to great effect too, used to block off valuable enemy sightlines allowing for you and/or your team to enter a site without defenders having access to their most favorable positions. Defenders are going to adjust to this as the match plays out, and you’ll have to feel out which areas they’re moving to in order to continue getting value out of these the longer the match g
The Incendiary can get into areas that you may not even be able to see too, since it can bounce around corners. This is another ability that’s really going to reward map knowledge; once you’ve got a really good understanding of the map, the angles, and the areas that enemies are likely to be in, you can get a lot of use out of the Incendiary Launcher without even having to put yourself in harm’s
This gun does impressive headshot damage and has a quick rate of fire. It also has a higher ammo capacity than any of the other pistols with its 15-round magazine. Unfortunately, it loses some of its accuracy as you fire thanks to the silencer. Still, one headshot to an unarmored foe will kill t

However, due to its versatile manipulation, Phoenix players can use the ability to cover the blind spot of a given area and flush out any camping players. And when used in conjunction with his Curveball, Blaze can be used to dish out some insane damage on a blinded enemy team. When using Blaze, Phoenix players simply need to be unpredictable, in order to gain the most mileage from the abil

She also has an updraft ability that allows her to jump very high in the air to get the « jump » on her enemies. Jett can also use a quick dash that recharges after getting two kills. And if that were not enough, her ultimate is endless. She summons five kunai blades that she can throw at enemies. There is no timer on her ultimate so she can summon it at the beginning of a match and use it all the way through. AND her ultimate resets if she gets a kill with her blades. Meaning as long as one of her blades kills someone she will get all five b
