How to Play Cloak & Dagger: Combos and Tactics
When playing as Cloak & Dagger, your main task as a Strategist is to keep your team alive. You’ll spend most of your time in Dagger form since she’s the main healer. Stay in the back or just behind your tanks. This keeps you safe while still letting you heal the front line.
- Lightforce Dagger (LMB)
- Spam this to constantly heal teammates. The cool thing is it bounces once, so you can heal allies even if they’re behind cover by bouncing it off walls. Plus, there’s no range limit. You can heal teammates across the entire map if you aim right.
- Dagger Storm (RMB)
- This is a powerful AoE heal that explodes where it lands. Use it on your tanks or anyone fighting up front to keep them healthy.
- Veil of Lightforce (E)
- Great for healing multiple people at once. During big team fights, get behind your teammates and use this to heal everyone.
Switching to Cloak can totally change the game, especially when enemies get too aggressive or are about to use big ultimates. Cloak is all about messing with enemies and punishing bad plays:
- Darkforce Cloak (LMB)
- Cloak’s basic attack slowly drains health over time, making him perfect for dealing with low-health flankers who push too far.
- Dark Teleportation (RMB)
- Best used to escape or dodge. Time it right to avoid devastating ultimates from Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Magneto, Jeff, or similar threats. It can save you and your team from getting wiped out.
- Terror Cape (E)
- This blinding ability is great against ranged attackers like Punisher, Winter Soldier, or Hela. When these heroes are giving you trouble, use Terror Cape to blind them and take back control.
Ultimate – Eternal Bond: This ultimate is the best part of their kit and one of the strongest team-fight abilities in the game. Use it to push aggressively when capturing objectives or to defend key areas during enemy ultimates. It gives you great survivability and impact, making it perfect for turning fights around.
