Mystik

Mystik is ideal for Carter's large mana needs. Use Inspiration early and often along with Divebomb whenever it is off cooldown to maximize harass.

Role Long Range Burst

Playstyle Carter offers high burst magic damage from extreme range. This build leverages Carter's unique range to build purely offensively. You'll be very squishy, but you will rain death from afar if you can land your skill-shots. Positioning, aim, and map awareness will be your keys to success.

Mystik

This build is all about burst, so Mystik is a natural choice. Don't hesitate to use the activated ability early and often in lane, as you should constantly be harassing with Rocket Barrage.

Role Sustained Damage, Long Range Poke

Playstyle The idea here is constantly be using spells. Positioning will be absolutely key and 1 on 1 fights should be avoided. Range and lots of spells are the key to success and auto attacks should only be used as a last resort.

Mystik

Inspiration will be required to help keep your mana high. With the high amount of cooldown reduction don't be afraid to use it a lot!

Carter Lore

Misfit are pyromaniac goblin brothers from Strife with a penchant for blowing up anything they come into contact with. As with most brothers that are close in age, they are nigh inseparable and constantly fighting with one another. Assuming one is not afraid of dying in an explosion, observing the trio in their chaotic dance of fireworks, gunpowder, and sibling rivalry can be quite amusing... from a safe distance of course.
