The upside

Where Gale shines

  • A push can interrupt a close-range attack
  • Broad shots help defend a route
The trade-off

Know your limits

  • Displacing an enemy may move it out of teammate range
  • Long-range opponents can avoid his ideal distance
Take it into the match

One habit to practice

Aim your push to protect the objective or interrupt an engagement, rather than using it whenever it becomes available.
