Playstyle

Tripp is a stealthy, extremely squishy melee assassin that excels at disrupting and bursting down a single target.

• She often lurks on the sides of the map or behind the enemy team, staying hidden until she finds an opening.
• Her E gives her stealth for 6s, which is enough time to cover a lot of ground whether you are sneaking up on an enemy for a kill or escaping to safety.
• Slide on Q is a fast gap closer with good damage that can also be used as an escape if needed.
• Her focus deals a big chunk of single target damage, and is essential for bursting down squishy targets.
• Stealth often enables Tripp to engage with the element of surprise, with the enemy being slow to react or evade.

Patience, unpredictability, and deadly engages allow Tripp to become the scariest threat on the battlefield.

Notes

• Tripp is tied for the lowest health in the game, so she can't afford to take many stray hits, especially as a melee hero.
  • Stay at full health/stamina and lurk until you are ready to engage.
• Be careful not to use both slide and stealth on offense if multiple enemies are nearby - Tripp will die quickly without using one of the two skills as an escape.
• Try to engage your target from behind in order to get an easy jump attack cripple that prevents them from running.
• Don't be too predictable, as you can be shut down easily if the enemy team knows which angle you are coming from.
• When using stealth to escape, try mixing in dodges or change directions to throw enemies off your trail.
• Slide kick into focus is a great opening combo when you need to burst someone down quickly.
• Her focus is great at dealing damage, but it is also effective at dodging deadly enemy skills. Try to time it when you can do both.
