Can the perfect human get out of the “3rd support only” pit? It depends on your aim and game sense, because Adam Warlock requires both of them to be as perfect as he is.
As Adam Warlock
-
You’re not the main healer, and you can not heal allies all the time. That’s why it’s important for you to guard your other healer.
-
You’re able to deal great amount of damage. Deal it.
-
For God’s sake, do not ult when Bucky ults.
Against Adam Warlock
-
Do not stand in front of him when he is charging his Cosmic Cluster.
- Even more, try to get away from his LoS. This way he won’t be able to heal his team too much, because hitting enemies is the main way for him to get his healing cooldowns faster.
-
If you have the opportunity to ult into his ult — it’s excellent.
-
If you’re fighting the enemy team during Adam’s ultimate, try to postpone the kills. Otherwise you will be required to kill them twice.
-
His Soul Bond distributes damage, and he can actively heal himself, so diving him directly is usually not a good idea. Bait the Soul Bond first.
-
When he dies, make sure there is no his soul flying around. If there is, follow it, and kill him one more.
Settings
Hold to Perform Hyper-Velocity
-
If you use Soaring Surge for more dynamic movements, try this option.
-
The title is a bug. Devs probably copy-pasted the setting for Iron Man.
Healing Reticle Feedback
- Even though this setting is useful for support heroes who “shoot healing”, it kind of does not make sense for Adam. If you enabled it by default, try to disable to decrease the audio clutter.
Abilities
Ability stats can be found on the game’s website.
Keep in mind that when a new season is released, the information on the site is not updated immediately. Especially team-up information.
Quantum Magic
-
You’re hitscan hero. If you see flyers or other hitscan heroes, try to prioritise them for attack.
-
Every crit you land shortens your Avatar Life Stream cooldown. If you struggle to outheal the damage your team gets, focus the enemy tanks, because they are easier to headshot.
Cosmic Cluster
-
Unline Quantum Magic this attack send a projectile. It’s not hitscan.
-
Charge behind cover to make it less obvious for enemies.
-
You are not required to charge it to the max. This is a part of the attack animation cancel tech.
-
If you landed this attack, most of the time you want to use Quantum Magic right after that to maximize the damage output.
-
You’re able to full charge this ability even when you have only one charge in the ammo.
Techs
Attack Animation Cancel
Quantum Magic and Cosmic Cluster both cancel each other’s animation. You can use it to make Adam go BRATATATATAT! To do this, hold Quantum Magic and spam Cosmic Cluster in between. The timing may be a bit tricky, and you do not want to spam too fast.
Two things to note here:
-
Do not use it for long range fights or to kill fast moving targets. You’re altering hitscan attack and projectile attack, and it’s hard to land them both in these cases.
-
Some players use an additional Cosmic Cluster bind on or to make the spamming easier. Give it a try.
