How to Play Hart
A good offense is the best defense; playing Hart is all about attack and aggression. This character is full of fierce and diving characteristics to make the enemies run out of defensive strategies. You should use her passive and QWER skills in the way described in the following paragraphs to make the most out of these attacks.
Passive skill guide
Use the passive attacks of Hart to gain SP level. Never shy away from using this skill as it has zero SP requirement. It is a useful attack, especially when she has upgraded her guitar to blue or purple color.
Q skill guide
Hart’s Q is a charging skill; the longer you hold, the bigger its effect. While playing duo or squad gameplays, be careful to see if your allies are blocking the way. There would be no point in using this skill if it gets hindered by your teammates.
Mastering Hart is all about knowing when to unleash this attack with fully charged waves and when to leave it instantly. Practice makes perfect, and the best way to get a good feel for when to just cancel your Q is by playing lots and lots of Hart games. Using this attack can prove to be a winning strategy as the Q skill deals the most damage out of all of Hart’s abilities.
W skill guide
You should invest the least points in upgrading the W skill. Only use this skill when you don’t have anything else to do. It increases your attack power for 5 seconds at the hefty cost of 85 SP. So, be careful before using the W button while playing with Hart.
E skill guide
Hart’s E is a quick dash that deals damage around her. By reactivating E you can dash an additional two times. You can use E for two purposes: firstly, to catch the fleeing opponents, and secondly, to dash away from dominating animals or enemies.
The best thing about this skill is that the E button enables Hart to even dash over walls, quickly move sideways or dodge to avoid enemy attacks. We would suggest you level up this skill, as the Flanger gets a lower cooldown time the more it is leveled.
R skill guide
Harts’s ultimate skill can neutralize a fight that is getting out of hand. This skill will reset your battles and make your enemies dance, providing you a sigh of relief. Use this skill for the following purposes:
- If you feel dominated;
- you are low in a fight;
- To help set up kills for your team mates in duo or squad mode
- you have cooldown time for QWE skills;
Use the ultimate skill of Hart to keep everyone dance for 5 seconds while draining their SP level. This skill will also slow your opponents and provide you with some healing.
Weapon skill (D) guide
Use the weapon skill of Hard to pull your opponents towards you. You can use it to catch fleeing enemies. You can also use it aggressively to get the most out of your shots. The best way to make this skill a lethal move is to combine it with other attacks.
Attack Combos
Use her Weapon Skill (D) with Q:
Delay is the most lethal attack of Hart; however, you will have to fully charge the sound waves (4 seconds) before unleashing Delay – time in which your enemy may run out of range. So, to make things easier, you should use her Love & Peace skill to drag enemies towards Hart and then use her Q.
Teams and Match-ups for Hart
Hart is absolute gold in Solo gameplays; however, she takes a hit in duo or squad gaming style. So, to win in duos and squads, you should keep the following in mind
Duo gameplay
Teaming up with Aya or Isol is a good option for Duos:
Hart has only one weapon; so, she does not possess that much variety in the starting zones. In Duo or Squad gameplay strategies, you would want your partner to be as close as possible. So, teaming up with Aya or Isol in the Duo style of play would be a winning move.
Fiora-Li Dailin or Nadine-Zahir combos would be easy to beat:
Fiora has limited options in terms of her skill range; so, Hart, while playing in Duos with Aya, or Isol, can easily dominate the Fiora-Li Dailin duo. However, you have to be careful about the spells of Zahir. You will have to manage his tornado with the mobility skill of Hart. In this way, you can beat this duo as well.
Squad gameplay
For squad gameplay, you should consider the following characters:
Hart can best perform in a group with both defensive and attacking abilities. The most lethal combination for the squad gameplays would be to partner with Chiara and Hyunwoo.
Xiukai, Jackie, and Fiora will find your squad tough to handle:
Most of the above players have lesser defensive skills. You can easily dominate these players. However, you need to be careful at the start of the game, as Hart is weaker in initial zones.
Sissela, Magnus, and Aya is a tough squad to beat:
Magnus is a hammering character and a tough guy to handle. Plus, Aya is also a character with a variety of weapons and long-ranged attacks. So, better watch out before picking a fight with this squad.

Weaknesses
- The effect of her Delay skill is quite… delayed: The American guitarist needs a few seconds to cast her Q skill with full effect.
- Her ultimate only reduces enemies’ SP level: The R skill of Hart only reduces the SP level of enemies. It does not cause any other damage. However, the speed reduction due to this move can be utilized for applying any other skill afterward.
