Hitting an enemy with your Helix Rocket now places a Biotic Field beneath you. Combined with Double Helix, you are nearly guaranteed to hit an enemy every time you fire the Helix Rocket.

Buy more Ability Power for more damage and healing. Energized Bracers and Multi-tool are always good picks. If you have enough cash, you can equip Iridescent Iris or Mark of the Kitsune instead. If you want to opt for more survivability over offensive power, purchase Vital-E-Tee.

On Me! causes your Biotic Field to move with you, allowing for more mobility. It also increases your max health while the Biotic Field is active. More Ability Power will increase your Helix Rocket damage and Biotic Field healing. Iridescent Iris gives a lot of Ability Power and Cooldown Reduction, as well as Overhealth when you activate Tactical Visor.

When you spend your Ultimate Charge, reset all cooldowns. While [Tactical Visor] is active, gain 20% Cooldown Reduction.

You have a choice of powers to select this round. Frontliners grants Overhealth, making you and nearby allies almost impossible to kill. Alternatively, you may also choose Cratered for more powerful Helix Rockets, or Back Off to keep flankers like Genji or Reaper away from you. Track and Field can also be selected to keep your Biotic Field active almost permanently. Purchase Champion's Kit to increase your damage and healing further, or Endgame Equalizer to make Tactical Visor even more threatening.
