Tips
How to Play
Shrapnel can be used on enemy creeps to get last hits when their HP is low.
Once Sniper reaches level 6, immediately acquire Assassinate to finish off low targets.
Assassinate can be used on any visible enemy on the map, so use it to secure kills globally.
Take Aim increases attack range significantly, use it as a defensive tool to stay safe.
If the opposing hero gets too close, Headshot deals serious damage to punish them.
