Where Gus shines
- A shield can help an ally survive a key exchange
- Ranged attacks support safe lane pressure
Know your limits
- Missed shots delay useful pressure
- A shield used too late cannot rescue a defeated teammate
One habit to practice
Watch your teammate's next engagement and provide protection before the dangerous part begins.
