Find your partner hero
Choose a role and answer a few playstyle questions to narrow down heroes that may fit you.
- Can lose value when forced into the opposite tempo.
- May overuse the habit that normally feels most comfortable.
- Needs a clear reset plan when the first idea fails.
If your result is BGAR, you focus on attacking outside the enemy's awareness rather than trading from the front. You look for the moment your teammates apply pressure, an isolated opponent, or an enemy who has already spent an important cooldown. Waiting is part of finding that opening, but waiting too long increases the burden on the rest of your team.
Advice
Keep the core of Shadow Hunter, but check whether the fight needs speed, patience, a wider view, or a smaller duel before committing.
Armored Anchor (FTAR) creates the time Shadow Hunter needs to wait for a real opening. As FTAR absorbs the enemy's attack in front, their attention gathers on the frontline and BGAR can choose when to enter from the side or rear.
BGAR does not need to rush the engagement and can target an opponent with low health or missing cooldowns. FTAR benefits when BGAR creates pressure outside the main angle, making it easier to push forward after absorbing the first attack.
This pairing combines exploiting an opening with a durable frontline. For example, Reinhardt can absorb enemy resources with health and Barrier Field, then step forward to draw attention while Tracer attacks a Support or DPS whose focus remains on the frontline.
