How to play Spike
Spike is a legendary Damage Dealer that shines in mid-range duels where Spike can trade efficiently and burst down squishy targets. Stay just outside the enemy's effective range, weave between cover, and punish over-extensions rather than walking into a fair fight.
Best game modes for Spike
Spike is strongest in Gem Grab, Bounty and Hot Zone — because consistent area damage lets Spike control the centre and zone enemies off the objective. Browse maps to find rotations that suit Spike, and check the current tier list to see where it sits in the meta.
Put Spike to work on maps like Double Swoosh (Gem Grab), Hideout (Bounty) and Ring Of Fire (Hot Zone).
Spike tips & counters
- Pre-aim around bushes and corners — Spike wins the fight that starts on your terms.
- Use walls to break line of sight and reset duels you are losing.
- Charge your Super on the front line, then save it for the enemy carrier or a teamfight.
Watch out for: long-range marksmen who out-range Spike, and fast assassins who close the gap before you can kite. Play with a tank in front and a wall at your back.
