Blaze's Synergies and Counters

Blaze Build Guide “Need a light?” (56)Blaze synergizes with

Blaze's well-rounded Ability set allows him to work in most team compositionsand with most other Heroes, granted he is also picked for his anti-melee role.Blaze Build Guide “Need a light?” (61) Oil Spill's Slowing effect is particularly useful for improving theuptime of Assassins, whereas most Heroes with skillshotswill find Blaze Build Guide “Need a light?” (62) Jet Propulsion a great way of setting up for accurate hits.

Blaze Build Guide “Need a light?” (63)Blaze is countered by

Since Blaze relies on skillshots to deal damage and on the ratherslow charge up of Blaze Build Guide “Need a light?” (70) Jet Propulsion to initiate, he tends tostruggle offensively against highly mobile Heroes.

Blaze's weaker maps

Blaze Build Guide “Need a light?” (84)

Thanks to his great waveclearand good self-sustain, Blaze excelson Maps where it is possible to double-soakand does well on most Maps.

Blaze can get a lot of value from his Abilities on Maps that featurestatic Objectives that force opponents to fight within a specific area or inenclosed spaces (such as Infernal Shrines).

On the contrary, Blaze does not excel at dueling,therefore he does not do well on Maps where there is a Capture Pointto contest in the early game (so Braxis Holdout).
