Playstyle

Pakko is a beefy melee frontline with great AoE disruption and sustained AoE damage.

• Most of Pakko's skills inflict freeze which both slows the target and deals a decent amount of damage over time.
• Pakko's E provides a speed boost to both himself and his allies, allowing his team to engage or disengage quickly.
• While Pakko has very good crowd control and a high health pool, his defenses are a bit lower than tankier heroes like Rutger and The Margrave.
  • Because of this Pakko has more of a hit and run playstyle, favoring a quick engage followed by a quick disengage instead of staying in drawn out fights.
• His focus quite flexible and allows your team to either keep enemies out of battle for 4s, or attack the enemies quickly to secure kills.

Fast movement, deadly engages, and quick decision making allow Pakko to lead his team as they snowball towards victory.

Notes

• While Snowball Toss has great range, it is usually better to get close enough to the enemy to be able to follow up before using it.
  • The exception to this is interrupting creatures, since they will let their deflect shields down to gather power.
• Pakko has a ton of mobility but be careful not to burn it all on the engage - he has a hard time retreating without the use of Q or E.
• Watch out for skills that cancel, daze, or stun when using his focus, as they can prevent the snowman effect from going off.
