Playstyle

The Margrave is a slow, tanky melee frontline that locks down multiple targets and can withstand an enemy assault.

  • He has a strong constant presence on the front line, always looking to initiate fights or peel his allies.
  • RMB deflects projectiles, making him great at mitigating ranged damage. He can also defend those behind him, including a friendly guardian.
  • E is a great gap closer engage, and Q is a great tool for retreating or charging through the enemy team to get to their backline.
  • His Focus is a large AoE launch that heavily disrupts all enemies caught within.
  • He is more focused on disrupting enemies with CC than dealing damage on his own.

Good positioning, team coordination, and strong engages make The Margrave stomp his competition into the ground.
