Blitz is a ranged support champion. He specializes in assisting fast, ranged champions.
His speed and mobility makes him difficult to pin down. Because he can shoot and
move, he should never stop moving. Smart players will learn to fake out enemies
by constantly changing direction while continuously attacking. When using Blitz,
avoid enemies that can snare and hamper your ability to escape.
Blitz can use Overdrive early in a fight to maintain his target’s health for the
duration. Overdrive also increases the movement speed of the target, allowing them
to pursue an enemy or retreat from a losing fight. Blitz can use Glob It On to add
additional elemental damage to his and nearby ally’s basic attacks, increasing his
damage potential significantly for short periods of time. He should use this just
before a big fight is about to begin and when nearby the most allies. Glob It On
has the added benefit of providing resistances to both physical and elemental attacks
to affected targets. Blitz can use Light Em Up to deal a massive amount of damage
in an area over a short period of time. This skill should be used when enemies are
stunned, slowed, or clustered in order to inflict maximum damage. Try to avoid opening
a fight with Light Em Up because enemies will learn quickly to avoid its area of
effect.
Run and Gun is what makes Blitz a truly mobile weapon platform. While he shoots,
Blitz can continue moving towards or away for his opponents (at a reduced speed),
giving him an extra few shots on his enemies as they close in. Keeping moving with
Run and Gun and using Overdrive will always give Blitz a better chance of escaping
melee while still harassing his attackers. Swift Strike is effective in allowing
Blitz to consistently pelt enemies with attacks. This allows him to benefit more
effectively from bonuses that add additional damage to each attack (like Glob it
On). Swift Strike allows for leniency on missing attacks: the missed shots are less
impactful than missing with a single, slower attack.
Blitz should be constantly moving and always seek to avoid being slowed or caught
in melee. Blitz can do a fair job at chasing down targets, but will likely be outpaced
by the faster champions. Avoiding knockout with Blitz should not be a problem with
Overdrive’s speed boost and healing. As long as Blitz does not get cornered or snared,
he should provide fantastic support for his team.
