Recommended comps: Brawl
One habit to change: Bait their cleanses and stuns with the knife or a cheap Carnage, then Shout in.
Good into

- WinstonShoot his big head through the poke fight to build Rampage.
- Wrecking BallKnife him on Piledriver and Shout your team; pull him back when he grapples out.
Struggles against
- AnaAnti-nade shuts off your healing, and sleep stops your engage.
- Jetpack CatCatnapper stops your engage, and you can't reach her in the air.
- AshePokes you from high ground you can't reach.
Best maps
- Best by win rate: Aatlis, New Junk City, Ilios, New Queen Street and Oasis
- Tight corners and cover where you can walk into a brawl
