Tips[]
- Jaina's abilities Chill her targets, slowing them and causing them to take more damage. You can leverage this to Chill to slow the movement speed of enemies chasing after her, or to secure a takedown on a fleeing enemy.
- The “Water Elemental” [R2] can be retargeted by pressing R and selecting a different enemy to focus.
- Use “Frostbolt” [Q] as a way to disrupt opponents from channeling important map objectives like the tribute on Cursed Hallow.
