Midknight Holiday

Author's notes

Carry holiday. I recommend updating the build every week or so. To do this repaste the match ID in the search bar. Tracklock Holiday, and all tracklock builds are awful. Twitch.tv/Yoshi-Valve

Item categories

1. 1Early-Mid

   Author's category · 12 items · You want to poke until you get tier 2 barrel and extra charge then look for committed trades. I typically try to switch into Mo and Seven on the enemy team for the big head or with a strong laner like Yamato to stomp lane.

   1. 1

      Extra Spirit

      Try to hit a barrel every wave on both them and lane creeps, since burst procs on both.

      Extra Charge

      Jump and melee your barrels to make them explode on impact

   2. 2

      Reactive Barrier

      Bebop, Abrams, or lots of CC. This is a very good item if the enemy comp is high cc

      Rusted Barrel

3. 3Late game

   Game stage · 4 items · If you see a carry mispositioned in a teamfight barrel spam them. Also look for lassos to start fights. You can curse while in lasso, so use it at the very end.

   Author's category · 8 items · Learn to air strafe off holiday pads for 5 more meters every time you use one (I have a short on how). Also use your 2 to extend the duration of your lasso and if you instantly dash after hitting a pad you can stop it from knocking you up.

   1. 1

      Counterspell

      Yamato, Drifter, Pocket or really anything you can read. It is very easy to coutnerspell drifter ult if you're trying to. WIth stun on your 2 you can down dash and counterspell to cancel Dynamo ult

   2. 2

      Dispel Magic

      Into not ult debuffs. Great if you're getting knockdowned. If you're against kidnap doorman, despelling cart makes that build cosmetic
