| 5s | hey everyone it's chef of the dead and |
|---|---|
| 7s | today we are taking a look at hottie the |
| 9s | brand new addition to the hero roster |
| 11s | and he is deadly this character is |
| 13s | already one of my favorites only shortly |
| 15s | after release since his kit is just that |
| 17s | much fun to use his first skill is |
| 19s | called mechanical arm and activating it |
| 21s | will fire a grab attack with a 25 M |
| 23s | range with gold Focus after the startup |
| 26s | since you don't gain that gold Focus |
| 28s | immediately I don't recommend trying to |
| 30s | use it to defensively as a soft combo |
| 31s | breaker since you'll likely be |
| 33s | interrupted but that does not mean it |
| 35s | doesn't have plenty of uses first of all |
| 37s | it functions as a combo starter and |
| 39s | unlike similar skills the initial grab |
| 41s | doesn't actually count as a stagger that |
| 43s | means you can perform your combos as you |
| 45s | normally would from neutral toothpick |
| 47s | combos like this one included mechanical |
| 49s | arm really is a fantastic combo tool |
| 51s | that proves very worth using for pretty |
| 53s | much every weapon the grab offers some |
| 55s | great counterplay to certain abilities |
| 57s | one being against ult's skill where with |
| 59s | the proper timing and aim you can grab |
| 62s | him before he's able to throw the Wisp |
| 64s | completely reversing the pressure it's |
| 66s | also a hard counter to Yo's third skill |
| 68s | that blocks all melee attacks you can |
| 70s | just grab her right out of it for a |
| 72s | combo his second skill mechanical arm |
| 74s | blast is the much safer and more |
| 77s | defensive option with it being able to |
| 79s | be used under attack and acting as a |
| 81s | great repositioning tool activating it |
| 83s | will knock enemies back and blast hottie |
| 85s | into the air immediately deploying a |
| 87s | glider that you can fly manually my |
| 89s | favorite thing about this skill is that |
| 90s | it can be canceled early which gives you |
| 92s | the opportunity to take the enemy off |
| 94s | guard with an attack if you cancel it |
| 96s | with a jump you can go right into an |
| 97s | aerial attack or if you hold Dodge you |
| 100s | can begin charging Focus to immediately |
| 102s | put the pressure back on the opponent |
| 104s | although if you're low HP and you'd |
| 105s | rather run away for a reset putting that |
| 107s | glider to use and trying to round a |
| 109s | corner or get some distance to Grapple |
| 111s | away is a great use of the skill too it |
| 114s | doesn't have as complex interactions as |
| 116s | the first skill does but it's a really |
| 118s | strong defensive ability that will not |
| 119s | disappoint |
| 120s | HDI has one of those ultimates that as |
| 122s | soon as you see it in the trailer you |
| 124s | know it's going to be a blast to use his |
| 126s | first ultimate is aerial ascent and upon |
| 128s | activation you get launched into the air |
| 130s | spreading a pair of mechanical wings |
| 132s | that Grant you flight for up to 25 |
| 134s | seconds and access to a special move set |
| 137s | hottie's plume blade has a light attack |
| 138s | chain of two so no one two three combo |
| 141s | but you do have access to a three-stage |
| 143s | charge attack each stage provides |
| 145s | progressively more damage and Landing |
| 147s | any of the charge attacks will combo |
| 149s | into an additional two light attacks |
| 151s | while in flight hadti has the passive |
| 153s | benefit of being uninterruptible by |
| 154s | non-focus attacks which makes his |
| 156s | ultimate incredibly good at escaping for |
| 159s | a reset or simply skipping the Escape |
| 161s | part and just healing over the head of |
| 163s | your opponent since you can indeed heal |
| 165s | while in the air you just get a bit of a |
| 167s | movement speed penalty the biggest thing |
| 169s | you have to worry about with hot's |
| 170s | ultimate is blue Focus you have to be |
| 172s | really careful with how you approach an |
| 174s | enemy because if you're not in that |
| 175s | Third charge State Focus attacks will |
| 177s | interrupt you and with enough damage |
| 179s | you'll be taken out of flight mode |
| 181s | definitely keep in mind your spacing |
| 182s | when trying to land hits with plume |
| 184s | blade because you are by no means |
| 186s | Invincible you've probably noticed that |
| 188s | the normal skill gets overridden while |
| 189s | in ult and activating it allows you to |
| 192s | exit and enter flight mode with each |
| 194s | takeoff consuming 15% rage this is where |
| 197s | some really cool combo starting |
| 198s | potential comes into play if you land a |
| 200s | basic attack with the plume blade and |
| 202s | you're close enough to the ground you |
| 203s | can actually exit flight mode and |
| 205s | initiate a normal weapon combo some |
| 207s | weapons will only soft combo out of the |
| 209s | ultimate which which means the opponent |
| 210s | will be able to use an ability to break |
| 212s | out of it so just keep that in mind it's |
| 214s | also important to note that hottie's |
| 216s | Dodge gets turned into a fast air Dash |
| 219s | which really helps close the distance on |
| 220s | someone or run away quickly the speed at |
| 223s | which you can get away plus the ability |
| 225s | to heal while in the air definitely |
| 227s | makes this one of the strongest reset |
| 228s | tools in the game despite how easily you |
| 230s | can reset once the ult is active you do |
| 233s | have to keep in mind that it cannot be |
| 235s | activated while under attack so you have |
| 237s | to be careful not to hold on to it for |
| 238s | too long hdi's second ultimate aerial |
| 241s | Ascent Blaze shares all the same |
| 243s | passives with the added benefit of the |
| 245s | stage three charge attack applying a |
| 247s | burn burn eats away directly at HP which |
| 250s | has a lot of value but it does come at |
| 252s | the caveat of a slightly reduced up time |
| 254s | at 20 seconds I feel like those 5 |
| 256s | seconds can make a big difference so for |
| 259s | that reason I do prefer the first |
| 260s | ultimate so far as for the talents that |
| 262s | I recommend for solos I definitely say |
| 264s | go for a full stamina build that looks |
| 266s | something like this I tend to run four |
| 269s | skill coold down and two grapple |
| 270s | distance but using any combination of |
| 272s | those for the bottom glyphs is fine if |
| 274s | you're playing Team modes though it can |
| 276s | be really useful to incorporate some |
| 278s | rage gain into your build but as a |
| 280s | general rule of thumb just make sure you |
| 282s | can still Dodge three times in |
| 283s | succession cultivation is how you'll |
| 285s | unlock the second skill and ultimate and |
| 288s | if you want to see exactly how to do it |
| 289s | all you have to do is click here and you |
| 291s | can view the necessary tasks these are |
| 293s | super easy to complete so after giving |
| 295s | his first abilities a shot you'll have |
| 297s | the second variations in no time before |
| 299s | I wrap up I'll just just mentioned a few |
| 300s | counters to look out for with one of the |
| 302s | strongest ones actually being an |
| 303s | ultimate That You Don't See very often |
| 305s | and that's ao's third ultimate even |
| 307s | though it looks like hotti would be able |
| 309s | to fly right out of the top he actually |
| 311s | can't which makes it a much harder |
| 312s | counter than ult's ultimate which can be |
| 315s | flown over and out of although tumultous |
| 317s | Zephyr wisps will be able to stagger |
| 319s | hottie out of flight mode unless he's |
| 321s | reached the gold Focus state which can |
| 322s | be pretty strong fia's cannon shots with |
| 325s | her Mech also pose a threat stunning |
| 327s | hotti for a short time and dealing a |
| 329s | sizable chunk of damage to his wings |
| 331s | potentially knocking him out of flight |
| 333s | Tessa is another one to look out for |
| 335s | since not only will the enchanted effect |
| 337s | take you out of flight mode but the |
| 338s | initial hit will as well Justina is also |
| 341s | a decent counter because even if you're |
| 343s | charging an attack while in the air |
| 344s | unless you've reached the gold Focus |
| 346s | State you will be frozen leaving out |
| 348s | those characters hottie has a lot of |
| 351s | really favorable matchups and |
| 352s | counterplay of his own and we'll be |
| 354s | getting a much deeper look at that in |
| 355s | the coming weeks as The Meta settles |
| 357s | that's about it from me though I hope |
| 359s | you enjoyed and I'll see you in a |
| 365s | game |
