Stukov Build Guide “Our victory is assured!”

Stukov is a high utility solo Healer, who provides excellent zone control. His exceptional healing is reliant on well timed use of Bio-Kill Switch. While his Abilities are very powerful, their use needs to be carefully planned to achieve maximum effect. Stukov has limited mobility, and should not roam by himself. He is designed to assist his allies, and will not perform well without them nearby.

• Use Bio-Kill Switch primarily to heal allies affected by Healing Pathogen.
• Cast Healing Pathogen onto Heroes who will spread it to as many allies as possible.
• Weighted Pustule is useful for harassment and light disengage. It can also secure kills on fleeing enemies.
• Channel Lurking Arm onto choke points, or use it to cancel channeled enemy Heroics.
• Massive Shove can be used to push enemies far away from team fights, or simply to Stun them against nearby terrain.
• Use Flailing Swipe to peel and disengage if a fight is not looking favourable for your team.

Stukov is great on teams that want to zone enemies away from essential allies and objectives. He performs very well with teams that strive to protect their backline damage dealers, because such team compositions usually stay grouped within Healing Pathogen's spread range.

Stukov has the ability to apply slows almost constantly, can channel an area of effect Silence indefinitely, and can single handedly remove an enemy Hero from a team fight. Despite being heavily armed with monsterous amounts of utility, he is still a viable solo healer for most team compositions.

Stukov in the current Anomaly can easily deny an enemy team from soaking with his silence. After level 13, once you have picked up Virulent Reaction, Stukov is able to set up some easy kills once he sees the enemy team going in for the soak.
