This hero gets more value when fights happen in a preferred range and rhythm window.
Most of the impact comes from how a whole exchange unfolds, not from a single highlight moment.

What To Watch Out For

Because mobility is more limited, pathing and exit timing matter more.
Even with a lower mechanical barrier, positioning and fight timing still decide most outcomes.
If the hero is forced to fight in the wrong range or scenario, raw stats rarely carry the exchange.
