How to beat Cosmo

• Get close. His planets deal little damage near him.
• Dodge the Super projectile. Once the magnet is on you, the whole enemy team's shots follow you.
• Pressure him after he empties his ammo. The slow reload leaves a window.

Common mistake: Fighting enemies at close range, where the planets have not grown yet.

Game plan

Cosmo is a Mythic controller with long range and a slow reload. He throws three planets that orbit in a circle and grow in size and damage the farther they travel, so he hits hardest at range. His Super attaches a magnet to an enemy for six seconds, and shots from Cosmo and his teammates home in on that target.

1. Keep enemies at the edge of your range. The planets are weak up close and strong at full distance.
2. Land the Super on the enemy your team most needs to take down. For six seconds, your team's shots home in on that target.
3. Make every throw count. The reload is slow, so a missed volley leaves you exposed.

Drafting Cosmo

When to pick

Pick Cosmo on open maps where he can stay at long range, especially with teammates whose shots are easy to dodge.

Who to pair with

Pair him with throwers or slow, high-damage projectiles. His magnet makes their shots land.

Ban or not

A strong ban while he sits at the top of the tier list, especially on open maps. If he gets through, dive him: he struggles up close.
