Tips and Tricks
PLAYSTYLE AND STRENGTHS
Crowd Control: His E (Vibranium Energy Saw) and Super-Soldier Slam (LMB in air) let him disrupt enemy formations and launch them into the air.
Shield Throws: His left-click (Sentinel Strike) lets him throw his shield after two melee hits, ricocheting between enemies for extra damage.
Tanky and Mobile: With 675 health and abilities like L-Shift (Leading Dash) and F (Liberty Rush), Captain America can dive into fights or escape danger quickly.
Projectile Defense: His RMB (Living Legend) blocks and deflects incoming projectiles, making him a great shield for his team.
Ultimate Team Buff: His Q (Freedom Charge) creates a path that boosts health and movement speed for himself and allies, perfect for team fights.
WEAKNESSES
Shield Cooldown: His RMB (Living Legend) has a cooldown after being destroyed, leaving him vulnerable to ranged attacks.
Ultimate Timing: His Q (Freedom Charge) is powerful, but if used at the wrong time, it can be wasted, especially if your team isn’t grouped up.
No Ranged Options: Without Thor’s team-up ability (C), Captain America struggles against flying or long-range enemies.
Weak to Ranged Heroes: Heroes like Iron Man and Storm can keep their distance and chip away at his health, making it hard for him to close the gap.
