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