Strategy

While Sven has decent enough damage and can certainly hold his own on a one on one situation, the fact is that he is 100% a support class hero. His potion abilities have the potential to change fights, sure, and his damage is good enough, but his utility is through the roof. His power to keep the team alive and deal regular damage through status effects like BURN
Deals damage over time.burn make him a powerhouse in his own right, but he definitely needs support if he gets surrounded.

The way to treat Sven is to think of him as a “mortar”. Because his potions come out in an arc, planning around terrain and other features is key to success, and allows you to toss potions that the other team will never, ever see coming.

Tips and Tricks

• Sven is a support hero. He can do damage on his own, but without support behind him, he can get wrecked pretty quickly.
• All of Uncle Sven's attacks are thrown potion bottles that function very similar to grenades.
• At the same time Sven's skills have a ton of splash damage, meaning you don't need to have great aim as long as you hit the general area.
• Geek Fire upgrade [LMB/RT] FIRE FLASK has a BURN
  Deals damage over time.burning area of effect that can wreck even well trained groups. Use them in corridors or when retreating for huge damage.

• [RMB/LT] ACID FLASK CRACKED ARMOR
  Reduces armor by 10 and damages enemies over time.cracks armor, and should be used before your basic attacks for increased damage.

• [Q/LB] ELASTIC OOZE
  • Elastic Ooze grants a great JUMP HIGHER
    Increases the height of all jumps when affected by the skill.super jump, and allows you to access hidden paths for sneak attacks.
  • Oozing With Confidence upgrade gives huge knockback. Place it in the way of pursuing enemies or assaulting heroes, and you can knock them out of the fight for a few seconds.

• [F/LS+RT],[LMB/RT] CHAOS QUAFF duration increases when you have higher FOCUS
  Special resource that is accumulated and stored throughout every match, and can be used to unleash a FOCUS ABILITY, or upgrade young creatures to powerful adults.
  Focus requires to build up FOCUS CHARGES (maximum 3) before it can be used. They can be accumulated by dealing damage to enemies, healing allies, taking damage, and sometimes after being defeated and sent to the Airship.focus level, and SLOW
  Reduces movement speed by 20%.
  MAJOR SLOW (30%) and MASSIVE SLOW (60%) are more powerful.slows enemies, leaving them without abilities. Use it on high threat enemies like Tripp to negate them for a while.
