What to keep in mind

Use this identity and role as a durable reference; verify live numerical values inside the current game client and official patch notes.

Use it in a real match

Connect the name to a decision.

Understand the job. Look at the hero’s main job, the type of fight they prefer and the teammates who help that plan work.

Watch the situation. Use this page as a starting point for review, then compare positioning, timing and target choice in a recent match.

Check what changed. Current ability numbers and balance changes should always be checked in the game or its official notes.

A useful reference should help you notice something in play. Open the related game hub for matches, guides and player tools, then return here when you need the name and role in one place. Compare it with a nearby choice so the difference is easier to remember.
