Mastering Junker Queen: An Expert‘s Guide
As a top 500 tank player with over 300 hours on Junker Queen, I‘ve witnessed firsthand how her savage fighting style can completely control matches. In this advanced guide, I‘ll share everything I‘ve learned by one-tricking the post-apocalyptic monarch into high elo.
From ideal ability rotations to map positions that create backline mayhem, I‘ll provide the wisdom only attainable through dedicated mastery. So whether you‘re just starting with the Queen or want to refine your expertise further, read on!
Understanding Her Venomous Arsenal
Junker Queen‘s vicious weapons complement her aggressive diving tactics perfectly. But to use them most effectively, understanding subtle details around her Scattergun and Jagged Blade prove vital.
Scattergun: Leveraging Spread and Falloff
While the Scattergun provides impressive burst damage, it does suffer from spread issues at longer ranges. I‘ve found success firing in controlled 2-3 shot bursts instead of full-auto spray once beyond 10 meters. Doing so tightens pellet alignment for more focused damage:
Additionally, familiarizing yourself with the Scattergun‘s exact 15 to 25 meter falloff range helps immensely. I like to position about 12 meters from priority targets – close enough to dish solid damage but distant enough to retreat using Commanding Shout‘s speed boost when needed.
Jagged Blade: Combining Pulls and Quick Returns
While most newer Junker Queens simply throw out Jagged Blade, seeking damage, I focus more on using its grappling hook-esque pull to manipulate enemy positions.
Targeting far away healers and yanking them closer to my team frequently secures opening picks. Additionally, recognizing the Blade‘s 1.5 second max flight duration allows me to manually pull it back faster for unexpected flanks and engage opportunities.
