How to Play with Blonney in Reverse: 1999

Playing with Blonney is like executing a well-thought-out plan. Kick things off with her ultimate, and then unleash a flurry of attacks to build up Moxie. After that powerful move, get ready to unleash significant damage. If your crit rate hasn’t reached 100%, deploy the Chainsaw Trailer. If it’s already there, no need to worry – her natural crit rate and damage are quite impressive. Introducing a bit of confusion can amplify the impact of those critical hits.
