Playstyle

Zandora is a beefy melee support with modest AoE utility and sustained single target damage.

• She plays on the front lines, but in more of a bruiser / follow up role as she lacks cc.
• Her LMB has longer melee range than other melee heroes.
• Her 3 main abilities RMB, Q, and E are different auras that buff Zandora and her team.
  • Only 1 aura can be active at any time.
• Her focus gives shields to Zandora and allies nearby, which is very strong in teamfights.

Positioning, cooldown management, and team coordination help Zandora bring out the best of her teammates in battle.

Notes

• Zandora can momentum cancel out of dodge attack by jumping and activating an aura, which can allow her to cover a large distance.
  • The aura activation can be cancelled with a dodge attack to prevent its use and save the cooldown.
• The Q R - Rainbow Dash upgrade is notable, as it is Zandora's only source of interrupt.
• Zandora cannot escape from a fight easily, so make sure to conserve stamina and be careful not to overextend.
• Zandora gets more value in extended fights, so try to avoid taking too much damage and stay active for as long as possible.
• Her focus is great at turning a teamfight in your favor, so look to use it once the enemy commits to the fight.
