HOW TO PLAY BYRON

Byron is a long-range support who deals damage with his syringe shots but can also heal allies by aiming the same attack at teammates, giving him both offensive and healing capability from extreme distances. His Super injects a powerful agent into a target that deals heavy damage to enemies or heals a large burst of HP to allies. He is most effective on teams with durable frontliners who maximize the value of his healing while he safely pokes from behind.

Byron's attack heals allies and damages enemies with the same projectile, so constantly alternate between poking enemies and refreshing your frontliner's HP rather than committing to only one role. His Super is most valuable as a game-changing heal on an ally who is about to be eliminated.

PRO TIPS

Support Game Plan
Stay alive first, support second. Position behind your carry, not beside them. Take Malaise in most situations, switching to Injection on maps where enemies can close distance. Use Gadgets proactively at 50% teammate HP, not when they are nearly dead.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Leon or Melodie. Both Shot in the Arm and Booster Shots are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
Best Team Shape
Pair Byron with Bull or Rosa when possible. Build toward Unstable Concoction in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
