Mama's Love

Game plan

Pam is a high-health support. She sprays a wide burst of scrap metal, and her Super places a turret that heals her and teammates nearby. She can tank, deal damage and heal, so she anchors a team in long fights.

1. Place your turret behind cover near where your team will fight. A turret in the open is destroyed in seconds.
2. Fight from inside the turret's range. You and your teammates heal while you trade.
3. Get close. Your spread deals the most damage at short to mid range.

Drafting Pam

When to pick

Pick Pam in Hot Zone, Gem Grab and Brawl Ball, where fights are long and teams stay close.

Who to pair with

Pair her with brawlers who stay near the turret, like tanks and mid-range damage dealers.

Ban or not

Rarely worth a ban. Long-range burst that kills her turret and her team quickly is the better plan.
