The upside

Where Spike shines

  • Spread damage can pressure several angles
  • Area denial helps your team hold space
The trade-off

Know your limits

  • Low durability punishes poor positioning
  • Rushing enemies can force an early retreat
Take it into the match

One habit to practice

Aim where enemies need to walk, then use your Super to make that route uncomfortable.
