[@Scripzure]

He IS a tank, just not a "stand on the point in front of my team" kind of tank. He tanks via disruption, running in and out of the fight forcing people to look at him and giving your teammates the opportunity to strike. He's also very good at finishing kills IMO.

Crazy amounts of heroes have animation cancels that are as complicated as this. Right now the heroes without these cancels are doing well in ranked but give it a little time and practice and players that main Melee heroes are going to go crazy.

[@fashityrainian]

Don't praise devs for accidental bugs that players figure out and turn into mechanics. If anything, they need to fix his primary passive kit ability~Ricochet, his saw ability also has ricochet, and it's the only one that actually applies it. The main part of his kit is bugged, but everybody is busy kissing ahh and just ignores it.

[@nope-ql6po]

i'm always genuinely impressed when people find weird stuff like this, animation cancels and combos and all that. it's hard for me to get creative with game mechanics outside of their preset boxes most of the time. thx for this chief

[@LvL-100]

Nice video! Pro tip. In Caps options you can take his Sprint ability off “hold”! I would definitely recommend this! It’s a game changer! You can also do this with his shield block. But definitely a preference move. look into other characters options as well, such Spider-Man’s easy swing. Turn it off. Cheers!

[@JZblue9]

shield cancel also works in the gap between 2nd and 3rd basic melee shield toss. the timing is tight, and you need to shield as soon as it hits, and not before, or else its either slower or cancels the attack completely. for dps optimization on bigger targets, charging up your shield toss also essentially counts as a basic attack animation cancel, so if you're looking to use any cooldowns to pump out more damage, you can wait for the first shield toss before you go nuts.

[@LightsJusticeZ]

One issue I noticed is that Cap can't cancel his E shield toss if there are multiple enemies, meaning he has to wait until it's done ricocheting before he can block. Otherwise it works on single targets.

[@АнтонШахов-е7э]

Finally, some actualy good guide without freaking explaining the abilities. Will wait for other characters... or more strategy guide (like when do dive and when do not)

[@raoni00111]

I have some thoughts on Cap. Cap's job is to dive to the backline and mess with them (not dying is better). Wolverine on the other hand, steals enemy tank towards your team and lets your back dps finish the tank with Wolverine. What I learn is, when they got no tank (at least -1), they can be much more vulnerable... I cannot do what I'm explaining since I play mostly solo AND the team just doesn't understand what Cap does, I always get blamed. Maybe for those who party can do something like this IDK....

[@bridinwitu897]

So Melee, Melee, Sprint Jump, Slam, Melee, Shield toss, Rush, Shield Melee. You can also weave in an exta melee attack for more damage by doing: Melee, Melee, Shield, Melee, Sprint Jump, Slam, Melee, Shield toss, Rush, Shield, Melee.

[@bridinwitu897]

Another tip is to set the spirit to toggle. There is no reason to be walking normally. Toggle sprint on at the start of the match and Everytime you respawn after dying and you never have to worry about it. You can then mash jump and attack for the slam without worrying about specific sprint cancel timings

Basically Brigitte, if she traded healing and such for flying through the air. I've been having lots of fun playing him. It's a bit strange because I am ignoring my team half the time, but I'm also distracting like 4 people on their team and somehow still walking away afterwards. Sometimes I'm able to peel for my backliners, but that usually feels suboptimal. He's pretty nice when their team wants to hold a certain choke point and then you come flying into their back line and it forces them to fall back, creating actually space for your team to just push ahead.

[@BenitoLSantos]

Combo List 1. Melee → Shield Throw → Shield Rush Basic combo dealing ~145 damage. Good for beginners to practice timing. 2. Melee → Sprint + Jump → Fearless Leap Use sprint and spacebar for the jump, ensuring forward input (W) slightly precedes the jump. Effective mobility combo for engaging targets. 3. Melee → Melee → Fearless Leap → Melee Fearless Leap animation cancels into melee for a fast follow-up. High-damage combo (~150+ damage). 4. Melee → Melee → Shield Throw → Sprint Cancel → Melee Animation cancel using sprint after Shield Throw to chain melee attacks quickly. Efficient damage and momentum. 5. Shield Rush → Fearless Leap → Melee → Shield Throw Use Shield Rush to initiate, followed by Fearless Leap and quick melee. Chain into Shield Throw to extend the combo. 6. Melee → Shield Throw → Shield Rush → Fearless Leap → Melee Combines Shield Throw and Shield Rush abilities for burst damage. Fearless Leap and melee follow-up keep the chain flowing.

On controller it’s definitly easier to do that rising double melee by just having sprint on toggle. You just tilt forward after you melee and make sure to buffer your jump and you’ll get that rising second melee hit easily.

[@genesis9223]

If you want 2 tips. when lining up a slam, throw your shield at the enemies feet, then slam. Doing just those makes the follow-up very easy(being some melee's and maybe a dash to chase). The other being turning off hold to sprint, it makes it so after your press shift everytime you move forward with W its a sprint.

I don't think i have quite the reaction time to work with him. I'm working on getting good with the other tanks at the moment.
