Learn which items answer Dynamo’s threats, how to play the lane, and when to commit or disengage.

Keep vertical movement available for Kinetic Pulse and avoid presenting a packed team for Singularity. Control immunity needs to be ready before the catch. If he protects the ultimate channel with Unstoppable, shift from trying to interrupt it to saving an ally or leaving the area.
Indomitable is not a dependable escape from Singularity; if Dynamo reaches the point where he can protect the channel with Unstoppable, Rescue Beam becomes a valuable ally-saving answer.
Identify what is losing the exchange, then use the answer and timing below.
UnstoppableWhat to do: Activate Unstoppable before the expected engage.
Why it helps: Indomitable does not reliably free you from Singularity, while proactive CC immunity prevents the control from taking hold.
Rescue BeamWhat to do: Use Rescue Beam on a trapped teammate from outside the ultimate.
Why it helps: Once the channel cannot be interrupted, pulling an ally out becomes one of the few remaining ways to save them.
Stamina MasteryWhat to do: Use extra stamina and vertical movement to jump the knockup pattern.
Why it helps: The pulse is ground-oriented, so staying above its timing can deny repeated setup value.
KnockdownWhat to do: Use Knockdown as soon as the vulnerable channel begins.
Why it helps: The stun interrupts channeled abilities, so forcing Dynamo to buy or pre-use Unstoppable is valuable even when Knockdown is not a permanent answer.
It is unreliable against this threat. Use the proactive protection and positioning advice for the ultimate threat.
Knockdown is useful while the channel is vulnerable. Once Unstoppable protects it, a Rescue Beam save may be the more useful action.
Limits control-led combos through immunity, a qualifying automatic response, shorter debuffs, or a barrier after the catch.
