Game plan

Janet fires a cone-shaped shockwave that narrows and extends the longer she aims. Her Super lets her fly over the map and drop bombs while being untargetable. She can control the range of her attack and escape almost anything with her Super.

  1. Aim longer for range, shorter for a wide cone up close.
  2. Use your Super to escape or reposition. You cannot be hit while flying.
  3. Fly over walls to drop bombs on enemies hiding behind them.

Drafting Janet
