Game plan

Sirius fires a long-range Shadow Strike together with a Starr Bomb that explodes on the ground. Hitting enemies collects their shadows. His Super, which also charges on its own, summons every shadow he has collected as weaker copies of those brawlers, which he can send at targets or call back. He fights with an army.

  1. Hit as many different enemies as possible to collect more shadows.
  2. Summon your shadows on a target your team can finish, then call them back before they die for nothing.
  3. Stay at long range while the shadows fight up close.

Drafting Sirius

When to pick
Pick Sirius in long modes like Gem Grab and Knockout, where he has time to collect shadows.
Who to pair with
Pair him with a tank who protects him while his shadows fight.
Ban or not
Ban him in long modes if your team cannot dive.

Win rate by mode
