How to Play Dynamo

You create opportunities on your own. Early in the game, you’ll need to endure a bit, as your hero needs some ability upgrades and a few items. Look for chances to poke enemies. Once you unlock your abilities and get a few items, work with your ally to close in on enemies, as you’ll have enough damage to secure kills—just make sure to land your abilities. When you get your ultimate, lead your team, capture objectives, force advantageous fights, and punish enemies for their positioning. It’s nearly impossible to lose team fights with Dynamo, so don’t be afraid to take the lead and initiate fights—your skill set allows you to do so. Toward the end of the game, you become a powerful tank and support combo, and with a growing advantage, finishing the game should be easy.
