…Hazard's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
The cycle of Violent Leap
and Jagged WallHazard can deal very high burst damage with a combo of Violent Leap
into primary fire. Also, Violent Leap has a very short cooldown of 5.5 seconds, so it's easy to alternate it cyclically with Jagged Wall.Durability from Jagged Wall
During Jagged Wall
he has very high durability, yet he can also deal damage to enemies during it. So by using Jagged Wall while catching as many enemies as possible, he can create a large amount of space on the front line.Splitting up with Spike Guard
You can use Spike Guard
to cut off enemies. Because it is a wall that deals damage when approached, deploying it against grouped-up enemies can make them harder to move.
How to Counter
Use heroes with abilities that shut down Spike Guard
.If Hazard can't make good use of Spike Guard
, his durability drops sharply, so using heroes with abilities that can counter Spike Guard, such as Ana's Sleep
or Nade
, or Zarya's Particle Barrier, makes him easier to kill.Use heroes that can escape even after being hit by Hazard's Violent Leap
.Hazard usually closes the distance with Violent Leap
, then finishes with primary fire or Spike Guard, so fighting with heroes who can escape the moment Violent Leap lands, or who are hard to hit with Violent Leap in the first place, makes it easier to gain an advantage.
