Key Stats

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• High area damage thanks to AOE abilities.
• Effective against groups of minions and heroes.
• High fire rate and a large ammo pool.
• Valuable throughout the game with the right build.
• Capable of rapid eliminations with good positioning.

Weaknesses:

• Low mobility makes him vulnerable.
• Long cooldowns on abilities.
• Limited effectiveness around cover.
• Vulnerable to interrupts during his ultimate.

Strategy Against Other Heroes

1. Against High-Damage Ranged Heroes: Use Lightning Ball and Storm Cloud to create zones that force them to reposition. Heroes like Haze have strong ranged attacks but can be pressured if forced into closer quarters.
2. Against Tanks: Use Static Charge and Power Surge to apply damage over time and prevent them from advancing. When facing Bebop, for example, stay out of range of his explosive attacks while dealing continuous damage.
3. Against Stealth Heroes: When up against heroes like Calico, whose abilities rely on stealth, use Storm Cloud in their suspected areas, revealing and damaging them.
4. Against Mages: Mages like Magician who rely on high-damage spells are vulnerable to Seven’s sustained fire and abilities that interrupt casting. Use Static Charge to control their position and stop them from retreating.
5. Against Assassins: Assassins like Viper rely on burst damage and quick kills. Storm Cloud can be used as a defensive zone, punishing assassins who dive into Seven’s range.
6. Against Healers: Against healers like Warden, build items with anti-heal effects like Healbane to prevent them from supporting their team effectively.

By optimizing Seven’s build and strategically applying his abilities, he can be a formidable force on the battlefield, leveraging his strengths against each specific hero.
