Guide

Hello everybody.

This is the first guide I post here on the site. I hope he helps some freshman get along a little better with Makoa. Makoa is, in my view, one of the best ranked tanks for three simple reasons.

1: He is almost never banned unlike Inara and Khan.
2: He brings the highest LP into the game thanks to the legendary Leviathan card.
3: He has a solid movepool for each map and is always a good choice.

Here are some matchups, against the Makoa can get especially big problems.

1: Tyra.
Tyra is Makoa's biggest, enduring threat due to her firebomb and associated Legendary Map. If she is also played with wrecker, Makoa's Shield is destroyed almost immediately.

2: Drogoz.
Drogoz should always be a first pick if your team does not have the first pick. Must Drogoz be a mandatory ban. His Ultimate Ability can kill Makoa at any time, even during your own Ultimate Ability. In addition, his burstdamage is a great danger for you and your whole team.

3: Willo.
Willos' death zone is the biggest threat she faces. This prevents any healing for several seconds. Both by yourself, as well as by others. This is what happens when the Willo is played well. Nearly impossible to occupy the capture point because it also brings a huge AoE damage. Therefore, Willo, like Drogoz. Always a mandatory ban or pick.

For the items themselves, the standard tank items are also more important here. Cauterize or Wrecker as an aggressive item. As a healing item as always, rejuvenation. As a utility item, I always choose between Chronos and Master Rider. Depending on whether you have to be faster at the capture point or want. Or if your cooldown on your skills is more important to you. And in defense, there are only two useful items for me. Haven and Blast Shield. BlastShield itself, but I would only pick it, if the opposing team has 2 Blastchampions such as. Drogoz, Willo or Bombking.
