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 FTIL, you prefer identifying the right place to fight rather than constantly moving around the map. You watch the routes the enemy is likely to enter and the areas your team needs, then make those spaces difficult to cross. Staying committed to the same setup for too long can leave you behind when the center of the fight moves elsewhere.
Advice
Keep the core of Combat Engineer, but check whether the fight needs speed, patience, a wider view, or a smaller duel before committing.
Precision Hunter (BGIL) can look for a pick from outside the enemy's attention while Combat Engineer restricts their advance. The more FTIL slows or narrows the enemy's route, the easier it becomes for BGIL to hold a safe sightline and predict where a target will appear.
FTIL can focus on controlling movement because BGIL supplies kill pressure from behind. BGIL gains the calm aiming time created when FTIL prevents enemies from freely reaching the backline.
This pairing combines movement control with precision finishing. For example, Torbjorn can use his turret to discourage flankers and maintain pressure on the main route while Hanzo holds a sightline with less pressure and waits for a clean elimination.
