How to beat Maisie

• Get close quickly. Her shot is slow up close, so it is easy to dodge from short range.
• Bait her Super with a tank before diving with an assassin.
• Strafe at mid range, where her projectile is still slow.

Common mistake: Diving Maisie when her Super is ready. The shockwave pushes you back out.

Aftermath

Game plan

Maisie fires a cloud from her fire extinguisher that starts slow and accelerates, so it is hardest to dodge at long range. Her Super is a shockwave that damages and pushes nearby enemies away. She trades well at range and has her own answer to divers.

1. Fire at max range. Your shot speeds up as it travels, which makes it hard to dodge far away.
2. Save your Super for divers. Pushing them away resets the fight on your terms.
3. Use your gadget dash to reposition or escape.

Drafting Maisie

When to pick

Pick Maisie on long-range maps in Knockout, Bounty and Heist, especially into divers she can push away.

Who to pair with

Pair her with a tank or support who controls mid range.

Ban or not

Rarely worth a ban. Bait her Super with a tank, then dive with an assassin.
