Player Tip

Useful in-game note

Hanzo is strongest when you punish isolated heroes. If the target is protected by tank and CC, farm and look for another angle. After Tough Boots, Hunter Strike you can start playing more confidently. As jungle, Turtle/Lord timing matters more than chasing kills across the map. Be careful against hard cc, tanky frontlines. If enemies pick Gloo, Grock, avoid ego fights and wait for team setup.

Pro Gameplay Guide

Template

Early Game

Secure jungle tempo and avoid forced fights before level/item timing.

Mid Game

Look for isolated targets and punish enemy backline rotations.

Late Game

Wait for vision and cooldowns before diving; one mistake can lose the fight.

Combo guide: Setup/dash skill → burst skill → ultimate/execute → escape route.
Positioning: Flank from fog, side brush, or jungle angles. Do not enter first.

Advanced Tips

Play Hanzo around the strongest timing of the Assassin role.
Watch the minimap before forcing fights.
Save escape or control skills for enemy dive.
Win fight → take turret, Turtle/Lord, or enemy jungle. Do not chase forever.
Use Hanzo when the enemy key escape or control skill is already used.
Do not fight randomly before objectives; prepare vision and cooldowns first.
After winning a fight, take turret, Turtle, Lord, or enemy jungle instead of chasing too far.
