Tips And Tricks To Play Rocket Raccoon
Rocket Raccoon is an easy hero to play, with your main priority being tothrow healing bouncing spheres to keep your allies topped up.
The best part is that these spherescan heal multiple targets at once, so you should be spamming them in the direction of your teammates to keep them healed.
Sincethe spheres bounce, you can get creative if a teammate is far away. Throw a few orbs off a wall so they bounce inside a room, healing your friend even from a distance.
His primary fire doesn’t deal a lot of damage, but it’s perfect for finishing off enemies. While healing,keep an eye on any low-health enemies you can finish off, but always get back to healing quickly.
When it comes to mobility, Rocket Raccoon has a good one, ashe can climb walls and dash forward, making it easier to traverse the map andreach safe positions where you can heal or escape danger.
If an enemy is flanking,having at least one Jetpack Dash ready will allow you to escapeas you need to stay alive.
The second ability is theB.R.B., which you shouldaim and throw at a covered position or somewhere enemies can’t easily see yousince they can destroy it, so be cautious.
The B.R.B. benefits the whole team by providingfree armor packs, adding an additional 25 armor to their health, androcket jet packsthat launch you into the air - great for escaping; however, keep in mind these two points when activating this ability:
After accumulating enough charge to activate Rocket Raccoon’s ultimate, C.Y.A., use it strategically, as it can be the winning card of the match if deployed correctly.It grants a noticeable damage boost to all your teammates, which can turn the fight in your favor.
But before you use it, always keep an eye on the field andavoid using it when another strategist’s ultimate is active, like Luna Snow or Mantis, as it will just go to waste.
From our gameplay experience, we’ve noticed thatRocket Raccoon can charge his ultimate noticeably quickerdue to the healing spheres, so keep that in mind when playing.
