How to Play Namor: Combos and Tactics
Namor works best at medium range. You throw tridents and use octopus turrets to control areas and stop enemies from diving into your team. Your trident doesn’t lose damage over distance and makes your turret ability recharge faster when it hits someone. Aim slightly above the head since the trident drops as it flies. Always go for headshots to make your turrets shoot faster.
Your octopus turrets (Aquatic Dominion) are what make Namor strong. Use them in two ways:
- Defensive: Put them near your healers to protect them from divers like Magik or Spider-Man.
- Offensive: Place them on high spots or chokepoints to constantly pressure enemies.
Getting headshots with your trident makes the turrets recharge faster and attack quicker.
Use Wrath of the Seven Seas (RMB) to mark a target so all your turrets focus on it. This works great against dive heroes. Make sure you have turrets out before using them. Hit a diver with this combo, and they’ll either run away or die.
Blessing of the Deep (SHIFT) is your escape button and panic shield. Use it to block big ultimates and buy time for healing. Don’t waste it on small damage. Really try to save it for when things get scary. You can still get healed inside the bubble, so it’s best that you work together with your Strategist players.
When enemies rely on mobility, Namor’s ultimate, Horn of Proteus, becomes really powerful for controlling space. It stops movement abilities and deals big damage in the center. Pick Namor against teams with lots of dive heroes, where your turrets and control can dominate.
