Shelly tips & counters

  • Pre-aim around bushes and corners — Shelly 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 Shelly, and fast assassins who close the gap before you can kite. Play with a tank in front and a wall at your back.
