How to beat Jacky

  • Kite her. Her attack is short range, so brawlers who keep moving away take almost no damage.
  • Do not group up near her. Her Super pulls everyone in and her attack hits all of you.
  • Use knockback and slows to keep her out of range.

Common mistake: Clumping with your team in a tight spot when Jacky has her Super.

Game plan

Jacky is a tank with a jackhammer that damages everything in a circle around her, even through walls. Her Super pulls nearby enemies toward her, and she charges it when enemies damage her. She is built to sit on top of the enemy team and hit them all at once.

  1. Walk through bushes and around walls toward groups. Your attack hits every enemy around you, so crowds are perfect targets.
  2. Use your Super to pull enemies off the objective or away from cover, then keep hitting.
  3. Keep moving while attacking. Your circle damage does not need aim, so focus on positioning.

Drafting Jacky

When to pick

Who to pair with
