Warp StoneWarp Stone gives you an immediate position change and bullet resistance, helping escape a close threat or committed damage angle. Pick a destination that removes follow-up pressure; teleporting within the same danger wastes much of the opportunity.
Players needing an immediate change of position against a close threat, wall, or committed ultimate angle.
Keep the teleport for the decisive position change. Choose a destination that removes the enemy's follow-up rather than simply moving a short distance inside the same danger.
Against Abrams: Hold Warp Stone or use vertical movement for the engage. Repositioning avoids the control entirely instead of relying on Indomitable, which can be consumed by the first stage of Shoulder Charge.
An escape is only as useful as its destination. It does not cleanse a debuff that follows you or replace an answer to every control state.
Buy it when one decisive reposition would let you survive or keep dealing damage. It fits repeated problems with close-range pressure, walls, or ultimate angles better than effects that need a cleanse.

Close-range commitments and geometry traps where repositioning changes the exchange.
Abrams →Hold Warp Stone or use vertical movement for the engage.
Repositioning avoids the control entirely instead of relying on Indomitable, which can be consumed by the first stage of Shoulder Charge.
Paradox →Warp Stone immediately after the swap, or use Indomitable for the ultimate control.
The key is repairing your position before her team gets the free follow-up.
Silver →Warp over or away from the dash path.
Silver's dash stops when it collides with a player, so moving over it can make her fly past instead of connecting.
The Doorman →Use Warp Stone or vertical movement once the displacement sequence begins.
Repositioning breaks the grounded setup and helps you avoid the follow-up outside his portal.
Venator →Reposition with Warp Stone before the follow-up.
Escaping the geometry denies the setup that turns his close-range gun pressure into a kill.
These hero guides recommend Warp Stone. Check the individual matchup for the build, situation, and timing.

Extra StaminaExtra Stamina gives you more movement decisions in a fight. An additional dash or air movement option can be the difference between dodging a readable threat and having nothing left after spending stamina to farm or trade.

Ethereal ShiftEthereal Shift lets you sit out a dangerous moment through brief invulnerability and untargetability. Against a committed burst or a short ultimate window, the goal is to waste the enemy's investment and return with a plan for your next position.

UnstoppableUnstoppable protects a planned commitment from crowd control. Activate it before the dangerous control sequence begins, especially when repeated disables would stop you from completing an engage or dealing damage. You still need a position that survives the incoming damage.
