Abrams

Charge and melee

Choose a coherent path

The reviewed default is charge and melee. An alternative is shotgun bruiser. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.

A wall charge enables melee pressure, but enemy debuff resistance and punch timing matter. Metal Skin is not melee immunity.

Ability slots

  1. 1Siphon Life
  2. 2Shoulder Charge
  3. 3Infernal Resilience
  4. 4Seismic Impact

Ability targets

The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 2, Shoulder Charge. Item eligibility still takes precedence: Echo Shard cannot reset an ultimate, charge items apply automatically, and global upgrades affect all eligible abilities.

Item direction

Use these as candidates for the stated path. The planner chooses compatible upgrades, accounts for owned components and reserves room for the lineup response.

Playing against Abrams

Use parry, spacing, melee resistance and an applicable anti-heal source.

A partial enemy lineup cannot establish lane assignments, enemy purchases or who is ahead. Supply those details in the planner where supported, and reconsider the plan as the match changes.
