Buster tips & counters

  • Approach through bushes or behind walls so you reach the enemy at full health.
  • Target marksmen and throwers first — they melt Buster from range if left alone.
  • Use your Super to engage or to escape, never waste it on a brawler that is already running.

Watch out for: crowd-control and high-DPS brawlers that kite Buster in the open. Avoid open lanes and pick your engages carefully.
