Lash

Grapple and Death Slam. Picks up a whole team and smashes them into the street.


Should you main Lash?

Rooftops are Lash's lane. Ground Strike pokes from height, Grapple snaps him onto ledges other heroes ignore, Flog drains while he pressures, and Death Slam finishes the grab. Map pathing is half the hero — whiff a grapple into the open street and you feed.

Map knowledge is half the hero. Whiffed grapples into open streets get punished; greedy Death Slams into a full team feed shutoffs. He wants souls for the items that keep his time-to-kill low after a slam setup.

Pick Lash if you enjoy rooftop pathing and pickoffs more than lane farming alone. Practice grapple routes on each map side. Ult when your team can confirm the slam victim — solo slamming into four heroes rarely ends well.

Ground Strike from fog, Grapple to a roof they are not watching, then Flog before the slam. If Death Slam is down, play for souls and vision instead of forcing another rooftop ego duel into a stacked spirit combo.
