Biography

Still water hides dangers below and Namor is the danger. The Atlantean ruler and warmonger has finally managed to convince his army that the war against the surface world is the only way to ensure the safety of their people and the seas.

He has mutant allies on the island of Krakoa and is now set to attack Jeju Island. In this temporal arena, however, his majesty will show that he is perfectly capable of leading his armies on the front lines and that he is a force to be reckoned with.

Overview

Difficulty – ★✩✩✩✩
Tier – S
Team Up – Luna Snow

Abilities

Normal Attack (Left Click): Trident of Neptune – Toss the trident forward, reducing Aquatic Dominion’s cooldown upon enemy impact. Once you get used to this ability, you will be doing an insane amount of damage! Just practice as much as you can and you will be amazed at how good it is. Remember that you don’t need to reload so don’t stop shooting even in your sleep.

• Horn of Proteus (Q) – Summon Giganto to leap atop enemies within range. Landing the center of your ultimate will one-shot squishier targets, while the ones that survive get knocked down! Amazing to combo with other ults like Groots Strangling Prison (Q) because they are immobile and easy to hit, or something to follow up your ult like Star Lords Galactic Legend (Q) because they will have no time to escape.
  
  
• Blessing of the Deep (LShift) – Summon a protective barrier while flying upwards, shielding Namor while disabling movement and skills usage during its duration. The perfect ability for canceling combos of melee characters such as Spider-Man and Black Panther, but is also great against a lot of CC and Ultimate abilities in the game, if timed right!
  
  
• Aquatic Dominion (E) – Summon a Monstro Spawn that can autonomously attack enemies. This ability makes Namor an insanely hard target for melee characters to deal with as they usually don’t have time and range to deal with it.
  
  
• Wrath of the Seven Seas (Right Click) – Launch the trident forward to damage nearby enemies, then direct all Monstro Spawn to perform an enhanced attack on the nearest hit enemy. Combining this ability with your left click will make you feel as if you one-shot the enemy target as animations are very fast!
  
  
• Frozen Spawn (C) – Team Up Ability – Luna Snow infuses ice energy into Namor, who then can tap into the ice energy to power up abilities at will. Unlike the standard Monstro Spawn, this one is way more tankier and also slows down targets!

Strengths

Namor is great for holding back enemy dive as positioning your turrets properly will protect not only yourself but also your Strategists from annoying characters such as Spider-Man that would otherwise be a menace to deal with!

He is also very hard to one-shot thanks to his shield which makes him invulnerable for its duration. On top of that, if you have decent aim, you will have a great time playing this character as hitting headshots makes this hero have one of the best kill potentials in the game.

Namor also has a huge range on his left click, which is great for spamming in chokes!

Weaknesses

Some of the Namor’s biggest weaknesses are flying heroes such as Iron Man as his left click is a projectile that’s hard to hit on targets that are far away. However, if you get used to it, you will make flying characters run for their lives as well as Trident hits like a truck!

Counters

Iron Man, Storm

Because Namors Trident of Neptune (Left Click) is a projectile, it is hard to hit targets that are far away and on top of that moving so they become direct counter to him.

Iron Man and Storm are both flying and keep distance so Namor needs to find a way to deal with them.

The first advice I can give is to use his Blessing of the Deep (LShift) to climb some higher ground and get closer to them, also set up your turrets high enough that they also can be annoying.

The second one is to practice your aim with this hero, learn, and get used to his projectile speed and range. After some time you will see that Namor can’t be countered by anything.

Team-Ups

Whenever Namor has Luna Snow on his team, he becomes a really difficult hero to deal with as pushing through choke points might seem almost impossible and flanking even harder.

He can keep 2 turrets up all the time and characters like Spidey, Black Panther, Star Lord or anyone who tries to flank will see that is impossible while Namor is around. It only takes one or two shots at you to die, and he even has his Wrath of the Seven Seas (Right Click) to focus all of his turrets on the same target.

Synergy

Namor makes for a great pick with slow, poke team heroes and team compositions, because he can protect your backline from dives that poke is weak to while dealing damage at the front.

Tips and Tricks

Use your Lshift to escape enemies’ ultimate abilities and other dangerous abilities. Also very useful to get to high ground because you can slowly fly with it.

Try to have your Monstro Spawn uptime as big as possible; don’t forget to replace dying ones instantly. Feel free to use them to hold off flanking angles and protect your backline.

Never stop shooting and I mean never!
