BEST TEAMMATES
HOW TO PLAY ROGER
Use Human form to poke, slow enemies with S1 (Open Fire), and lower their HP safely. Once they drop below 50% HP, switch to Wolf form to gain movement speed and execute them. Time your Wolf S1 (Lycan Pounce) perfectly to become untargetable and dodge critical enemy skills or tower shots.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST ROGER
- Lycan Pounce grants invulnerability — wait it out.
