Game plan

Emz sprays a wide cloud of hairspray that hits several times, dealing the most damage to enemies in the middle of the spray. Her Super creates a large cloud around her that slows and damages enemies. She controls mid range and punishes anyone who gets too close.

  1. Keep enemies at mid range. Your spray deals the most damage at its middle, not point-blank and not at max range.
  2. Use your Super when enemies are close or holding the objective. The slow and damage cloud wins the area.
  3. Back away from divers. Every step you retreat keeps them in the strongest part of your spray.

Drafting Emz

When to pick
Pick Emz in Hot Zone and Gem Grab, especially against tanks and close-range teams.
Who to pair with
Pair her with a tank or controller who pulls enemies into her ideal range.
Ban or not
Ban her in Hot Zone if your team relies on tanks.
