The Deathleaper’s kit grants it unparallaled mobility in the battlefield. It can Deep Strike and can use its ability to quickly move to different parts of the map. Use this to target and kill squishy targets such as Healers and Nukers.
Deathleaper’s passive ability allows it to heal whenever it attacks enemies, provided that the attack is a charge attack. Try to target enemies that are farther from your initial target to continue triggering this passive.
