QUICK ANSWERS

The questions players ask about Alpha

01What is the best lane for Alpha?

Alpha is currently played mainly in Jungle and EXP Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.

02Which Alpha build should I use?

Start with «EXP Sustain Default». The other options, «Jungle Tempo Bruiser» and «Damage Chase Flex», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.

03Which heroes counter Alpha?

Benedetta, Wanwan and X.Borg are the first counters to consider. Valir keeps Alpha out of reach, while Diggie can free the team from Spear of Alpha's control.

04Which Alpha skins can be obtained now?

2 skins are marked as obtainable right now. 7 more are kept in the vault with the event or shop where each one originally appeared.

QUICK ANSWERS

The questions players ask about Alpha

01What is the best lane for Alpha?

Alpha is currently played mainly in Jungle and EXP Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.

02Which Alpha build should I use?

Start with «EXP Sustain Default». The other options, «Jungle Tempo Bruiser» and «Damage Chase Flex», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.

03Which heroes counter Alpha?

Benedetta, Wanwan and X.Borg are the first counters to consider. Valir keeps Alpha out of reach, while Diggie can free the team from Spear of Alpha's control.

04Which Alpha skins can be obtained now?

2 skins are marked as obtainable right now. 7 more are kept in the vault with the event or shop where each one originally appeared.
