Strategists for the Clueless

[@cryamistellimek9184]

The most crucial part of playing Strategist is the mute button. Your duelists will inevitably dive the enemy backline alone in a 1v6 and then bitch repeatedly that you didn’t instant transmission to them to restore their health.

Rocket tips! Deploy BRB in the spawn room at round start to hand out armor chips. 25 extra health is 25 extra health. Didn't forget to destroy it once you are out of spawn so it is ready to deploy later. A character can only be healed by one orb at a time, and for only 3 seconds. Try to bounce orbs off the ground to improve healing up time on your less mobile allies. Stick near walls! You run 60% faster on them, so escape is much easier. Super Dash is performed by dashing during a wall run. You go comically faster and further. Make sure there is nothing in the way or your dash will immediately end. Find ways to sneak this into your route to point to recover from death faster! If you are coming back to point from a recent death, chuck BRB towards point at around 60m to point! You may just save someone. Don't forget to reposition it when you get to the fight.

[@hiddensoundtest1444]

Also rocket is fairly competent at dealing with someone trying to flank him. His close range damage is very reliable and I've killed a lot of Spiderman players by just shooting them faster than they can punch. It's important to be situationally aware of when to shoot or run away of course

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

It wasn'r really mentioned in the video but is a key part of Jeff's kit: His bubbles also apply a healing buff. Spit a bubble on a teammate before using your left click and it becomes rapid enough to heal through most damage in the game.

[@aj_mick]

Great video. Thanks for posting. Another Cloak & Dagger tip for Strategist players: Don't forget about Dagger's ricochet mechanic. If you bounce her primary projectile off of a wall/floor/etc. when there is a healable teammate nearby the point of impact (I'm not sure what the radius is exactly), the projectile turns into a "smart dagger" and will seek out the teammate. Can be clutch.

[@Thaaa.PleaseBeAvailable]

The daggers also seek without the bounce, also, whenever you heal a teammate with cloak it heals everyone in a small radius of that teammate (it might do less to the ppl around I forgot)

[@rixaxeno7167]

Here is most of what I know: Healing on impact is 10, triggering an AoE heal for 18. Hitting an enemy triggers the same AoE heal, which DOES heal yourself. You can trigger this even when shooting at full-hp allies when you need to stabilize yourself. Because full-health allies can take daggers, they can also bodyblock you from healing low-HP allies that are further away. Avoid this issue with frequent usage of high ground, allowing more accurate healing. Auto-tracking ricochets only track targets that are within the normal tracking range. You get 1 bounce per shot, so play your angles smart so you don't double-bounce. When a Dagger bounce is too close to an ally, the auto-tracking can cause the dagger to orbit the target. It CAN still hit geometry during orbit, and it WILL fizzle out and provide zero heals. Plan accordingly. Dagger's wall has a healing amp effect to it. Use this early and often to heal critical HP tanks. Cloak & Dagger's walls have a maximum distance of 25 meters. Try to keep within 25 meters of important allies/enemies to guarantee usability of your entire kit. Cloak's wall has a blind effect that lasts a bit over a second, as well as a debuff that increases all damage taken. Use this against snipers, hitscans, and anyone that needs to aim. Cloak's phase-out ability gives Cloak the ability to fly for the duration of the effect. Use this to reach high ground and escape dangerous fights vertically. Cloak's phase-out provides a speed boost for everyone inside. Use this to accelerate out of the spawn doors at the start of a round, especially when trying to break through a spawntrap on the Birnin T'Challah payload map. The ult does damage and healing over time, but the damage is not super impactful. The healing is 220hp per second for each dash. THE ULT STACKS! Use this to heal your team 660hp per second. If done properly, it can help you survive nearly all sources of damage that don't oneshot. (It also breaks yourself out of Groot ult)

[@alexsanimeart5706]

That's actually why I prefer Dagger over Luna. The auto tracking heals.

[@nicolasbolas2247]

Alot of Adam's do this because the ability is poorly described in game. You place the rez point down when you press the ult. Then for 10 secs, Adam gets an aura from him that rezs players within like 30 meters or so. Adam can move to downed allies and trigger the rez on them

Also a tip for dagger is that her primary fire heal aoe works regardless of whether it hit an enemy or an ally. So if u have a melee tank dishing damage u can attack their target for additional chip dmg and heal them at the same time getting more value out of her ammo

One thing I can say playing all three types Vangaurd DPS and Strategists. Keep line of sight on each other to prevent "loosing" each other in the chaos of a team fight.

Adam is the best support because he breaks expectations. You expect to dive him, boom, he bursts you and kills you instead. You expect to kill a dps after investing a lot of stuff, boom he's back to full health in an instant. It's all about timing and managing cooldown. Just used 3 ults to win a fight and lost a teammate in the process? Boom, one Adam ult and it's now a 6v5

[@Spyrocrab]

Important Rocket Tip; Hump the hell out of your tanks. Your heal is next to useless in supporting more mobile characters from a distance, so don't bother. If they want health, they come to you. The mobility is an escape and reposition, not a way to chase down the 0|10|7 Spider-Man diving the enemy. Being small as hell, you also just get hit a lot less by non-aoe fire when near a meatshield. Your goal is not to get kills, it's to be an aggravating little shit with a gatling gun who peppers anyone trying to get a sightline on your big buddy. Force snipers into cover by spraying in their general direction, and grind down enemy tanks trying to start a brawl. You are the vanguard's fluffer.

[@user-tt6oe2th6b]

I don't think rocket is great against snipers considering his low range and high damage fall off. Wish he had faster projectile speed or hit scan so he can reliably hit targets at longer ranges.

[@zeze7022]

Rocket can MAJORLY assist with tank brawls. If your tank is already healthy or you have a support with better single target healing, stay close and drill into the other tank with your m1. Best case scenario you and your tank annihilate them in seconds, worst case you help put pressure on them to fall back. It’s also much faster to switch from shooting to healing than vice versa, meaning you can quickly pivot to keeping the tank alive if things start to go south. Also, pay attention to where your Punisher is at all times and coordinate with him as much as possible. Rocket can juice his ult into the single scariest thing in the game.

[@commentbutton]

I love the description "Your goal is to be an aggravating little shit head with a gatling gun" is just really funny to me

[@Spyrocrab]

@@user-tt6oe2th6b He's not, no, but even a few projectiles can usually make a widow or Hawkeye flinch back into cover. Good snipers realize that they are bottom priority for heals, and try to avoid chip damage when they can help it.

Some tips for Jeff that I’ve learned; you do more damage if your on groots shoulder (goes for Rocket as well), do not rely on your fin mode to escape by walls. Depending on maps it can get buggy and you will get annoyed. Instead save a bubble or two, spit them behind you and travel to them when you are escaping.

[@WynneL]

Exactly. There is no heal for stupid!

[@squidge01]

No shade, but most of what you said about Adam Warlock’s attacks is wrong: Your primary attack is your close range dueling tool, headshotting enemies with it is your best dps. Burst at close range is quite niche but it is useful if you can charge it behind cover and/or you know there’s an enemy coming. In that case, go for the one shot combo, but charging your burst in the face of any duelist worth their salt will often just get you killed. At long range your primary attack damage is quite terrible, and unless you’re cheating you aren’t gonna hit all 6 headshots required to kill a squishy target that isn’t getting healed. Generally here is where you look for more burst value. Charge it behind cover and spam it for your best long range damage. The projectile velocity is decent so you should get good at hitting this from far away. Then, use your primary attack to poke out any low health targets

[@JebblesJunior]

I should've qualified more for him, but your right. I do regret finding the burst more useful at range after having made the video compared to before.

[@ollyhyde5356]

For cloak and dagger: 1) her daggers bounce off of walls and floors and after bouncing will home to people, so if someone has pushed up and out of your sight range you can steal heal them by bouncing off of the wall behind the person. 2) not enough people realise that cloaks right click where you go invisible speeds up teammates, makes them and you invulnerable to attacks such as Jeff, scarlet witch, iron man and phsylocke ult, and allows you to fly during it which can give you a quick escape if you are being dived

[@Reaper-J129]

Note on dagger: Her projectiles ricochet so you can sometime heal team mates around a corner they will home to friendlies even if you can't directly see them. This can sometimes save people who push to far beyond your line of sight

[@MrBlueWarden]

Should also mention the team ups are pretty good as well for most of the supports. Adam can give both Mantis and Starlord self res. Rocket can give Punisher and Bucky unlimited ammo and faster rate of fire. Luna can give Namor and Jeff increased dps with cyro ammo, can also team up with Iron Fist to push enemies back. Loki can be revived when Hela gets a kill. Cloak and Dagger can make Moon Knight invisible for a brief time.

You have no idea how much I adore you for starting off with "Strategists are not Healers" I come from high masters in Overwatch, and it's so crucial to understand that just because you're the only person on the team that can heal, doesn't mean you always should. So many Strategists have crazy dmg potential, like Rocket or Mantis being able to shred unsuspecting enemies in mere seconds, and the sheer utility of _AOE damage vulnerability_ from Cloak makes Zenyata mains Kreygasm. Just because you play a support, that doesn't excuse you from getting out there and getting job done yourself. You'd be surprised how a small raccoon with a mechanized black hole can make you understand the true meaning of C.Y.A.

[@jayjonesrgaming]

10:31 one thing I learned playing Mantis while I was trying to get comfortable w some strategists; keep track of your heal and buff timers! My first few games I barely looked at them. Once I started to keep better track of them I was making much more strategic heals and buffs leading to better win rates for the whole team.

[@WolfDGreyJr]

(Cloak and) Dagger is super easy to do okay on, but doing great needs mind-bending tech and gamesense. At the most basic, her primary will heal *yourself* if you're in the AoE, which is easily the best self-healing if you're not getting dove. It just asks you to walk so far up that diamond players can just delete you sooooo often. It's not just Duelists, a good Strange will shoot-melee-E you from 100 to 0 in the blink of an eye. Then there's the ricochet-lock-on someone else mentioned, which can let you heal from ranges longer than your natural lock-on or without LoS... or *make daggers impact a different side of your target* to shift the AoE origin dramatically. On some wider characters, this can be an insane difference-maker, because your primary's second-hand healing is about 3/4 as fast as your bubble Then there's the fact that she has 2 great survivability cooldowns, but they're on different forms. If your healing bubble isn't available, you sometimes can't afford to stay in the healing form even if there's damaged teammates. You need to really understand the other healer to know whether you're okay to hang out in Cloak form for that vital phase-out. Then there's consistently landing your insane Cloak E: it's a Blind + 55 dmg + 20% added vulnerability. Most often you do it while switching to Cloak and back as a way to cheese your reload Finally, your ultimate has a ton of potential, but so many jank edge cases. It has a huge window where you're not CC immune or being healed; it can be done while in the air, making the trail sink to the ground... but not heal you for much of the dashes; it decays in three steps; and its aftermath leaves you free to turn-and-burn the enemy backline as Cloak *if you confidently know that all your teammates are going to be in it*... but getting CCd at the end of it is a death sentence. Bonus tip: I'm pretty sure that Strange ult can make people take double damage from Cloak ult if their body and spirit are both in the goop

[@cctz_1]

One of the biggest points u made here is how ur a support, not a selfless slave, and i keep forgetting that constantly. My mindset is to touch point and die, or chase after an ally out of position, or heal the person who’s not running away from a fight they cant win etc. youre not supposed to pick up others’ slack. Idk why but me and a lot of other support players just become like that, i dont play like that on dps so no clue where it comes from but i gotta shed it

[@Overdonespawn]

Under-rated asf, these were some of the best tips I have gotten. Subbed subbed subbed.

[@ShurikenSean]

Loki tips: His projectiles do 0 damage/healing, it's the splash aoe where it hits that does the damage/healing. So aim for people's feet or walls behind them as it's easier than hitting their bodies directly. (they also cant crit headshot so don't bother) the damage it does has falloff from where it hits, so you still want to try to he somewhat close to enemies. But the heal does full heal in the area no matter how close your allies are to the center Also you can shoot through your clones and full health teammates, if they need healing it will explode on them, otherwise it will keep going, possibly hitting an ally with lost health or an enemy beyond them. So shooting into crowds is the way to go with him. Also for his ult there's an option in the settings to have a confirm on copy if you want to make sure you shapeshift into the right person

If you die as Rocket in general or more realistically, from a flank, you probably either: 1. got one-shot because of bad position 2. didn't wall run or attempted wall running too late Always be near a wall. I found that the moment you hear footsteps nearby, pay attention and be ready to act like a rat bastard and GTFO. Usually, this brings me to situations where while wall running, I still have the time and luxury to jump, turn around, and fire a heal orb or two at the team from a relatively safe angle while being chased, then continue the run until out of danger and at an angle where I can still bounce heal orbs directly at the team. Don't even attempt to duel Duelist flankers unless necessary because more often than not, they immediately turn their heads toward a different target once they figure out that trying to catch you is going to take A LOT of effort. This cuts the chase short and you can resume doing your thing shortly, unless you pique their interest again and you can do the cat and mouse thing on repeat. Flanking Vanguards, however, I've noticed that you can fire around half of your magazine if you notice them early. If they manage to get to you before you noticed them, GTFO. He's rated 1-star in difficulty for a reason and even getting a fraction of the team's death is just positioning issue.

This is true, it's why I try to qualify it by saying "apart from burst ultimates"

[@Pacotinho-xx1zf]

For me as a Rocket player what I see as my job is to stay alive and running if I have more than one death as him I feel like I'm trolling his entire kit gives me dopamine like no one else I'm just a little unkillable rat running around his mini ult with punisher and bucky team up is just busted the brb is the best designed rez that I ever seen on any game as there is an actual setup and counter play his ultimate feels really underwhelming though as he is the damage boost guy while Luna does the same amount of damage boosting plus immortality it feels really cheap to play someone that has an ult that especiallies on damage boost while the other can do both

[@Pacotinho-xx1zf]

His rocket booster give like an extra 20 meters or 10 meters of dash when crawling on a wall so when I hear BP spear hitting to me or any other melee character jumping me I just run to a wall and literally become a Rocket straight to the skybox

[@brain_polish7586]

Will I be executed for saying support? Just trying to avoid getting turned to dust.

[@JebblesJunior]

Support is also acceptable.

[@Darth0308]

They heal, so I call for healers. If I needed to call for a startegy, then I'd call for a strategist.

[@The80sWolf_]

No non strategist players will watch this Instalock duelist gg

is support okay by your standards? (that's what I usually call strategists)

[@JebblesJunior]

Acceptable.

As a strategist , I don’t really like playing fps games I preferred auto aim I want a character that can’t attack but all her attacked are healing and buff only no offence

[@zaarongaming8174]

Saying Adam is the best healer is an awesome take, but it's also completely delusional. The best abilities in the game are crowd control; Luna's freeze and Mantis's sedate are absolute game changers that cancel ultimates, kill divers, and pick off targets. Luna and Mantis both possess vastly superior mobility, giving them far more opportunities to come out on top both playing aggressively and defensively. Adam's best ability is his ultimate, but even that is arguably not even as good because it revives your team at low HP and does not necessarily give you any control over the objective, meanwhile Luna and Mantis both make the team nigh unkillable, meaning you are guaranteed to get on the point and dominate the fight, not to mention counter your opponent's ultimates. Furthermore, Luna and Mantis's ultimates are not conditional on your team being dead; needing to survive while your team is dead makes Adam's ultimate far more conditional, slow, and easy to counter as opposed to a sudden, immediate ultimate. Luna in particular also simply heals more damage per second than Adam, which is the most important job for a healer (and yes they're HEALERS, not strategists. I don't ask my loki if he's got any strategies, I ask him for heals because I just killed Hulk and am on 50HP).

[@JebblesJunior]

If you don't see Adam's utilities, that's a fault of user error. He's carrying tournament teams to $20k championship wins because he is so strong. And no, strat, not healer. Thinking healing is his main value is asinine.

[@zaarongaming8174]

@@JebblesJunior I didn't say Adam is an F tier with no utilities, I'm saying he's nowhere near the best healer. You didn't engage with any of the points I offer and just lazily said "but Adam has won tournaments!" Yeah and so has Spiderman. In terms of who's actually the best when both teams play properly, Adam contributes so much less than Luna and Mantis for the multitude of reasons I laid out. Strategists are the only characters who heal; they may do other tasks, but that's their optimal and primary role.

[@avocadothecat]

You. I like you. Have a sub.

[@mikey10006]

i disagree with the E placement for luna, its better to put it on whoever you want to heal at the time since it applies 30% healing boost to whoever its on and the passive healing is neglibible, also you wont forget to reapply it when whoever has it dies

[@JebblesJunior]

That's what I meant by healing overtime. As for the placement on divers, it's not bad as long as they aren't.

[@TheTexasRanger0101]

Ive never played this genre of shooter and got my as whooped first game, Maybe this game ain't for me LMAO

[@JebblesJunior]

It's gonna take a minute, but it's not too bad.

[@toweringcobra6177]

I disagree with your notion that people shouldn't call them healers, yes you can and should be helping in other ways, duh, but to say that as is healing isn't their primary function in the team is simply disingenuous, I've had many "Strategists" that kept trying to dps instead of healing the team and we all suffered for it, a Strategist should be aware of their versatility sure, but their main role in the team is and always should be prioritizing the supportive role which will largely encompass healing. There is NOTHING wrong with calling them healers just as much as calling Dualists dps and vanguard tanks, it's reductive sure but it gets the point of their general role across, your stance on the matter is rather overreactive.

[@toweringcobra6177]

And to add, they are called such for a reason as they generally are the only class of characters that can heal people, moreover damn near every hero shooter and the like have "healers" that can and do do more than just healing, people coined the term healer because of their healing function so unless your just new to the idea I don't really see why you're complaining about such a minute detail

[@JebblesJunior]

The difference is tanks and vanguard hold the same purpose. Same for using the term dps and duelist. If someone's calling Adam or Mantis a healer, newer people will healbot with them. It strips away attention from improving with the more valuable utilities of boosting and Adam's one-shot potential for teams that don't chug damage.

Strategist are just healers bro. Don't try to gaslight anyone into thinking otherwise. Why do you want them? To heal, that's it. Being able to do more is not changing their prime directive.

[@user-tt6oe2th6b]

Their main goal is healing yes, but players tend to think if they're playing healer that means all they do is heal bot and never use their weapons to fight.

[@JebblesJunior]

If you just want strategists like Rocket, Adam, and Mantis to obsess on healing, you are wasting them.
