If you move the mouse when using the 1 they don't all come out at once so they scatter in the arc you move. So you can trail them ahead of their movement or cover a wider area if you're not sure where they'll dodge. They're sticky bombs so if thehit they'll hit, and they're also great for throwing at guardians and objectives. And for the 2 you can land it perfectly if you're close to an enemy, regular dash backwards, then 2 towards them. The distances are the same. But your 2 heals and the cooldown is halved when you hit so you don't ever want to miss it.
That haze looked like she had auto parry sometimes. Her parries where ridiculous and most of the time she didnt even look ready to parry and yet she did
I'm really really enjoying playing her. One thing I was super surprised about was how much health I seem to end up with with minimal investment. I'm wondering if some sort of tank build might be interesting on her with Fortitude to heal back up and using your ult to stay alive and soak their abilities.
i didnt think id like calico that much but in getting her several times trying to queue vyper she's instantly become a favourite. she feels actually fun no matter if im doing good or bad
Weirdly, it feels like the 1 is again a thing to *start* a fight with vs something you throw out midfight or to end a fight? Because when you throw it on a minion in a jungle it does a lot, but only when you land all the bombs. So from her cat form and the rest of her kit, it seems like she has a lot of tools to sneak up on someone and start a fight with but the swipe is one of her only mid/late fight options.
Personally I feel like surge of power is way better early pickup because it just makes the ultimate so good and gives you a good amount of movement speed for sticking to people and then later you pick up Divine Kevlar and your oldest does so much damage
You have to try speed build with magic carpet, you can ult into cat into magic carpet to escape anything and move at mach 20 since it over doubles your speed when in cat
I like how i have heard from multiple streamers that the 1 ability is very unconsistent, but that is exactly how it is to play bomb on bebop. Like 20% of the time when you place a bomb on someone it doesnt place a bomb on them
@@MurphysLaw217 Yeah thats how bebop bombs work and when they are in your face as bebop sometimes it doesnt even work but thats not importnat cuz he is not calico
The Druid wildshape that is happening is really cool. The cat should really be a combat ability where it’s a charge ability that you go in and out of during combat that gives you small buffs or allows you to exit using your two without consuming the ability. Instead of now where it’s basically a stealth version of majestic leap
Spirit snatch might actually be good on her since she can apply it with her 2 which is cool. Wonder how colossus is on her, I think that gives melee and weapon damage on top of the active resists. She looks super sick which I’m glad for, cause I liked watching her old kit but this one is even better.
Since the „can’t use catform after taking damage“ is just 5 seconds of cooldown added to the ability if it is off cooldown, could you not just always cat out after ulting? Once the ult is upgraded to reset all your cooldowns that is.
Calico is awesome, my new favorite hero too. I’ve been running a leech/refresher build in ascendant and it’s working really well. You can cycle through abilities 4 times with ult reset and refresher
I'm away from my PC for a week, but got my steam deck with me while out of town lol. If you got any Match ID's you feel especially proud of you should let me know so I can see how you play her because that sounds fun as hell! I am so addicted to this game and it sucks being out of town right when they release 4 new characters lmao!
@@watotodile Weird, not seeing message. 32094550 is the match ID i think it was an oracle game. This acc is my smurf 66% win rate. I played the lane really well and snowballed hard into late. I was mostly limit testing on most deaths to practice working on the 4 ability cycle refresher combo.
will we be seeing a hollandaise sauce video coming up soon? speaking of, never knew this until i tried the ricochet out, when you summon and hit barrels from mid-air, you can knock them downwards towards people. you can also hit the barrels entirely sideways
I played her too and I feel her 1 either needs faster projectile speed or bigger explosion radius. Its crazy how hard it is to land when actually in a fight unless they run ina straight line
I’ve been playing a lot Calico since she came out and she plays the closest to a moba jungler not in terms of farming but just cause she has some much burst damage and has some of the fastest rotation potential
only at 8 min in. I always used 1, 2, shoot/melee. If I have ult maxed, then it's 1, 2, 4, 1, 2, shoot/melee. IMO initiating with 1 is best since the range to hit the 1 is about the same range for the 2 and I feel Calico is more of an assassin/burst dmg hero than using her gun. Plus, you can use your abilities in cat form, so it's almost like a shadow weave to go cat form but better because you don't break stealth when you use an item so you could curse someone in cat form and they might not expect it since you're invisible on map too. Torment pulse could be bad if you want to be sneaky
Just an opinion as an eternus that barriers are usually superior. The extra benefits make it so. 20 extra spirit early game is huge. Also she's op. You just gotta get used to her. She's a true assassin.
I really enjoy playing her and want to play her more, but after 10 games of Max queueing her and min queueing shiv and haze, I got her in 2 matches. It's been really frustrating
I hate to tell you but I am absolute boof at this game and rarely miss her 1. You just gotta know when to hold em, know when to throw em. If they're running away, ALWAYS throw - easy hit. Average use case, though? 2 in for melee damage, press 1 while on top of them and then heavy melee. If you build around her 1, you can kill pretty far into the game with that combo. I build her bombs like I used to build Seven's balls.
@@rowanmelcher6110 Yea the ability doesn't seem as useless as people have claimed. The fact that you can use items is huge. Phantom strike is fun to mess around with in cat form.
calico spirit build feels weaker and weaker as the game goes on, but her gun build with frenzy, lifestrike and healing booster just has insane uptime and burst damage, I feel like she has one of the more fun kits, but her gun is truly her strong suit rn
So I haven't played holiday yet or magician who I'm kind of not playing because I just watching your videos I'm like no that's not me.. but definitely have to say I'm not an assassin type player but man I love playing Calico or Nano apparently as she was once called before we even seen her or maybe that's a nickname I don't know. Like I just got out of a game where we had a DC it was 485 and just me and my guys were carrying not even like it kills I mean I think the guys had like get some insane stuff like she just followed up on me and my damage I wasn't I kind of just play support I'm not worried about getting the most kills or anything just like a decent KDA but like they had such a hard time fighting me they did not seem to understand like oh there's a cat running at me I probably shouldn't just stand there and look at it as it throw mines on me and becomes a woman and I don't think people understand just how good the cat is for escaping like if you old and start to go around a corner you almost always can like Dash slide around another corner and then cat out we're going up a rope and then as they're climbing it just running and jumping sliding in your Gone. Playing against her a hater it's like she never stays damage like literally one wave and she's like full health but overall I think she's she's way more fun to play than Viper in my opinion they just feel boring
haze looks like they have auto parry for sure... its all well and good being good at parries but there were so many scenarious where a punch was almost instant and or just didnt make sense and yet still she got a perfect parry off... and she didnt get faked out and parry when she didnt need to a single time. cd be copium just looks sus
With how disjointed this game was it kind of looked like a typical low elo game. There was one time I had a game go 57min. You played insane but the team was very disjointed
Sorry for being a few hours late guys, was busy playing lethal company, but my favorite part was when Mast said “it’s clawing time” and the clawed all over the place.
never did I think id live to see mast become a cat lady, yet here we are
Become a cat, lady?
Bastet
14:40 what the walker doin
gooning
straight up locking it dead style
Jorkin it till he deadlock
Sus
jorkin it
Love how viable every hero looks when you play them, but then I try to do it and they look sooooo much harder to play lol
Don’t worry about it: Mast has a LOT of experience with MOBAs and in Deadlock. Just do the best you can and you’ll improve over time
If you move the mouse when using the 1 they don't all come out at once so they scatter in the arc you move. So you can trail them ahead of their movement or cover a wider area if you're not sure where they'll dodge. They're sticky bombs so if thehit they'll hit, and they're also great for throwing at guardians and objectives.

I love her look, like her glasses are constantly reflecting. I hope they keep that as her visual develops
That haze looked like she had auto parry sometimes. Her parries where ridiculous and most of the time she didnt even look ready to parry and yet she did
she got that Abrams PTSD
@yall_girl_eve xD valid
ive been accused of an auto parry once
28:45
POV: has Wraith and Sinclair on his team
Mast: 'I swear the Wraith ult was gonna go on me there'
When Mast thinks the Wraith ult is going for him, but the Wraith is on his team
I'm really really enjoying playing her.
One thing I was super surprised about was how much health I seem to end up with with minimal investment.
I'm wondering if some sort of tank build might be interesting on her with Fortitude to heal back up and using your ult to stay alive and soak their abilities.
That Kelvin was doing work man, I don’t think the match goes on for that long if he’s not running full support as well as he is
i didnt think id like calico that much but in getting her several times trying to queue vyper she's instantly become a favourite. she feels actually fun no matter if im doing good or bad
Just sat down for lunch, Mast video in my recommended, todays gonna be a good day.
Been waiting for this, she has absolutely the best visual character design of all the new heroes. I just love her idea of a character.
yes!
I agree. the moment to moment gameplay is so much fun

28:46 I can relate to the fear of getting picked by the ALLY wratih ult
Calico is so sweet ^^ Great play, Mast!
Personally I feel like surge of power is way better early pickup because it just makes the ultimate so good and gives you a good amount of movement speed for sticking to people and then later you pick up Divine Kevlar and your oldest does so much damage
14:50 hearing the enemy team deny like 1.5k walker souls hurt my soul
You have to try speed build with magic carpet, you can ult into cat into magic carpet to escape anything and move at mach 20 since it over doubles your speed when in cat
loved your vibes the second i opened the video. i had no idea there were high mmr players who don't have superiority complexes
Watch MikaelS or any EU streamer
I like how i have heard from multiple streamers that the 1 ability is very unconsistent, but that is exactly how it is to play bomb on bebop. Like 20% of the time when you place a bomb on someone it doesnt place a bomb on them
Its because the spread of the bombs is random so you have to be in their face or get lucky to land all of them
@@MurphysLaw217 Yeah thats how bebop bombs work and when they are in your face as bebop sometimes it doesnt even work but thats not importnat cuz he is not calico

@@watotodile get back to you when i get home from work!
@@watotodile 32094550
this is on my smurf where ive been practicing. The acc has 66% winrate. I think it was an oracle game
@@watotodile Weird, not seeing message. 32094550 is the match ID i think it was an oracle game. This acc is my smurf 66% win rate. I played the lane really well and snowballed hard into late. I was mostly limit testing on most deaths to practice working on the 4 ability cycle refresher combo.
In my experience the 1 doesn’t feel bad it’s just a point blank ability which kinda sucks but works with her kit since she can stick hard to people
Vs the haze i wonder if suppressor/mystic slow would be a good pickup after the torment pulse.
Maybe hunter's aura too
will we be seeing a hollandaise sauce video coming up soon?
speaking of, never knew this until i tried the ricochet out, when you summon and hit barrels from mid-air, you can knock them downwards towards people.
you can also hit the barrels entirely sideways
Mast you can animation cancel the 1 (bombs)! Press 1 while you're dashing and the bombs should come out as your swipe comes out.
You actually need to press it towards the end of the dash when she does the circle. You can animation cancel and fit in a melee/cold front then
I think colossus as first 6K might be super strong on Calico.
You gotta do cat on cooldown when youre backing off, the smaller hitbox and up to 115% speed has crazy value, incl being able to use items like warp!
I played her too and I feel her 1 either needs faster projectile speed or bigger explosion radius. Its crazy how hard it is to land when actually in a fight unless they run ina straight line
Calico is by far my favourite of the new 4. She plays like weaker but faster Abrams and it's so fun 😂
Holliday is a Mob Psycho enjoyer, what a gangster
With ult tier 3 you can cat right out of ult cuz it refreshes, it's very powerful for escaping
I think if the lower the 1 or 2 dmg they can give it charges, or give her the first ult with charges
Can you make a video about the shop and when to buy things and what to by. I feel like you have a real good idea about that🙂
I’ve been playing a lot Calico since she came out and she plays the closest to a moba jungler not in terms of farming but just cause she has some much burst damage and has some of the fastest rotation potential
38:05 there are stats for damage received, they are in the graphs I believe.
only at 8 min in. I always used 1, 2, shoot/melee. If I have ult maxed, then it's 1, 2, 4, 1, 2, shoot/melee.

The 1 does have a strange couple milliseconds of delay from when you press it. Took some getting used to
So can you cat while still in ult? Cause it makes you invun?
Honestly I never thought I'd say it but watching you lane here made me feel bad for a Shiv player.
To anwser your question about healing off minions: yes, you can and you should for a cheeky health burst mid fight
Fyi: you can run spirit urn when in the cat form
Just an opinion as an eternus that barriers are usually superior. The extra benefits make it so. 20 extra spirit early game is huge. Also she's op. You just gotta get used to her. She's a true assassin.
Is the resolution low for everyone or is my phone bad
I think 1 might go before the 2 for more consistency
Hark! The Magnificent Sinclair!
Freaky ass walker 14:43 he a freak fr.
The Frenzy disrespect is real.
PLEASE TRY GUN CALICO! She´s so broken
Her voice has become my favorite in the game, abrams and lash are pretty close
Honestly I preferred her old 1 but all the other new abilities are such massive upgrades!
I really enjoy playing her and want to play her more, but after 10 games of Max queueing her and min queueing shiv and haze, I got her in 2 matches. It's been really frustrating
After 1 match with her she was also my new main, never had so much fun in a game 😂
I hate to tell you but I am absolute boof at this game and rarely miss her 1. You just gotta know when to hold em, know when to throw em. If they're running away, ALWAYS throw - easy hit.

Wrong. Your favorite hero should be Holliday. 👍 Great content Mast, keep it up
her dash does in fact heal off minions/monsters
YIPPEE!
My main 🥰, I gotta get better at her 2, I miss it so often, and I need to use her 3 more
Calico my beloved
Can you cat and urn??? Mast, I need to know!
Yes
Man. She was cool when she had her dumb turrets. Now she’s awesome!
I had a calico in a game earlier just rush torment pulse and then just run around in cat for the whole game it works too well
I had the same thing it worked wayyyyy too well it was insane
@@rowanmelcher6110 Yea the ability doesn't seem as useless as people have claimed. The fact that you can use items is huge. Phantom strike is fun to mess around with in cat form.
What rank is he?
People are not letting me play calico :(
i miss the cat statues.....
calico spirit build feels weaker and weaker as the game goes on, but her gun build with frenzy, lifestrike and healing booster just has insane uptime and burst damage, I feel like she has one of the more fun kits, but her gun is truly her strong suit rn
They should nerf her cat or Ult. I chased a Calico player who uses the combo of Ethereal Shift, then her Ult, and then her cat.
She is really sneaky

ayyy
i love you big daddy mast
Stroke my mast til I hero on my favorite
rip symmetra carwash
The 1 is slow, the 2 is good but better with larger aoe, the 3 needs more movement speed and the ult is dunno
1 is a slot machine. change the spread pls
With how disjointed this game was it kind of looked like a typical low elo game. There was one time I had a game go 57min. You played insane but the team was very disjointed
Calico needs to be nerfed into oblivion. Literally every lane against her is unwinnable.
Calico will be nerfed, she is too good.
Your 2 heals off of minions
She's a new players/noob bully in low ranked
Sorry for being a few hours late guys, was busy playing lethal company, but my favorite part was when Mast said “it’s clawing time” and the clawed all over the place.
Yeah let's parry a tower that already does dog shit damage.
stupid calico need nerf ==
She's over tuned af, she needs major nerfs asap
First
TRASH GAME Cannot wait to get everyone I know to downvote the shit out of this game, as if it's not the general consensus
seems like your new deadlook views didnt like your break and you lost 5k views per video.. thats acutally sad to see
Pretty sure this game is dying
