Game plan

Otis fires three blobs of paint with long range. His Super throws Cil, his starfish, onto an enemy, damaging them and silencing them so they cannot attack or use abilities. He shuts down the enemy's key brawler at the right moment.

  1. Silence the enemy's carry right before a fight or a push.
  2. Silence divers to stop them from attacking when they reach you.
  3. Keep poking from range to charge your Super.

Drafting Otis

When to pick
