Deployment

How It Works
Flint is the playtest's cleanest wave-clear answer. Skyfire and Impact Grenade remove a soldier push fast enough to deny army-scaling picks their win condition.
Siege Mode is the payoff. Planted behind your own line, Flint can influence a teamfight three lanes away, which makes him the best objective-support pick in the game.
Strategy
Plant early and plant safe. The value of Siege Mode is uptime, so the question is never "can I hit them" but "can they reach me".
Save Impact Grenade for the dive. The knockback and stun is your only self-peel, and it works just as well defensively as it does as an engage.
Tips
- Path of Glory before Skyfire — the slow makes the follow-up land.
- Never siege in the open. Use terrain and vision denial.
- Farming Giants with abilities feeds Gaining Greatness, so poke whenever a tank walks up.
FAQ
Can Flint really shoot anywhere?
Yes. Once planted, Siege Mode has no range limit — he can support a fight on the far side of the map.
What is Flint's weakness?
Being found. Grounded means grounded, and a Wolfgang or Voidmaster who reaches him ends the fight.
What should Flint buy first?
Ability power and cooldown reduction. Gaining Greatness rewards him every time an ability lands on a Giant.
