Franco Guide
Tank
Tank is a character who moves around the map and supports teammates. They are not made for offense but only for defense. During a 5v5 battle, they are at the front line to protect and attack the enemy with 4 other heroes. They usually have high HP, and defense and are hard to kill.
Franco Skills
Passive( Wasteland Force )
When no enemy or minions hit you or if no damage is taken for 5 secs, your moment speed increases by 10% and regenerates 1% hp.
Similarly, his wasteland force stack ( up to 10) starts to rise slowly. You can see the hook type icon at the bottom of the screen. When it has full 10 stacks, then the damage of any skill you use will have150% skill damage consuming all wasteland force.
Skill no 1: Iron Hook
When you use this skill, Franco will throw an iron hook toward the targeted direction doing some physical damage and dragging the enemy toward him.
Once you learn to use this skill properly, it will be a nightmare for an enemy.
Skill no 2: Fury Shock
Franco steps on land dealing nearby enemies with some good physical damage and slowing them by 70% for 1.5 seconds.
It will come in handy when you hook the enemy and use this skill.
Skill 3: Ultimate ( Bloddy Hunt )
When you use Bloody hunt, Franco suppresses the enemy for nearly 2 seconds making them unable to move and use skills. During this time, Franco attacks him over 6 times dealing good physical damage.
This is very useful when you use this near your teammates so that they can finish the enemy.
Don’t use this skill when there are a lot of enemies surrounding you or they will kill you before you kill the targeted enemy.
Best Battle Spell For Franco
Flicker: Spell to blink or move very fastly in a particular area for a very short time that the enemy can’t even see. It is best with Franco combos. But it has a large cooldown of 120 seconds.
Petrify: It is a spell that is again used to stun or cc them for a short amount of time which will help them attack, run, defend, and reposition.
Best Franco Combos
Franco Ability comes in handy when you use with flicker.
For Example: First, hook the enemy. When your hook touches the enemy, you need to click flicker into your turret or near your teammates. Then use 2nd skill and ultimate to finish him/her up.
It takes a little practice but when you master it, it will be dangerous.
Combos Without Flicker
They are very easy like:
1st skill 2nd skill and Ultimate
But I prefer
Ultimate 2nd skill and 1st skill
When you do this franco passive will help to deal more damage to the enemy using ultimate as well as it will prevent enemy from running according to how you use it.
You can try making your own combos.
