Player Tip

Useful in-game note

Barats is not just there to die first. Check vision, force enemy cooldowns and engage only when your damage dealers can actually follow. After Tough Boots, Dominance Ice you can start playing more confidently. As roam, your first job is vision and timing; random engages without follow-up just feed. Be careful against true damage, anti-heal. If enemies pick Pharsa, Popol and Kupa, avoid ego fights and wait for team setup.
