Disarming HexBuy for the threat you are facing. These are situational options, not a build to purchase in full. Tap an item for its breakdown.
Separate the Sleep Dagger setup from sustained gun damage and Bullet Dance. A teammate's parry can protect a sleeping ally, while weapon defense buys a survival window against gun pressure. Break line of sight and stop the trade long enough for Fixation pressure to fall off rather than racing her with high stacks.
Indomitable can answer a sudden qualifying control event; Plated Armor helps slow weapon on-hit buildup; Metal Skin provides a temporary bullet-immunity window. Existing stacks and an enemy Cursed Relic still need their own response.
Identify what is losing the exchange, then use the answer and timing below.
IndomitableWhat to do: Use Indomitable as the passive combo breaker.
Why it helps: Haze can start the sequence unexpectedly, so an automatic answer is more reliable than a reaction-only defensive item.
Plated ArmorWhat to do: Build Plated Armor for the extended weapon trade.
Why it helps: Reducing her ability to build weapon pressure over time is more reliable than only blocking a short five-second window.
Metal SkinWhat to do: Activate Metal Skin during the ultimate or interrupt her with Knockdown before Unstoppable.
Why it helps: Bullet immunity directly denies the main damage source while the ultimate is active.
Dispel MagicWhat to do: Use Dispel Magic when the accumulated build-up/debuff pressure is the problem.
Why it helps: Metal Skin can stop bullet damage temporarily but does not stop build-up; clearing the existing stacks prevents the next burst from starting at full pressure.
Disarming HexWhat to do: Have a teammate use Disarming Hex during the committed weapon window; use Metal Skin when your own immediate survival is the priority.
Why it helps: A team disarm and personal bullet immunity serve different roles, and the buyer needs a safe opportunity to apply the answer.
Stop the exchange and use cover. The purpose is to let the stacked pressure decay before you take another sustained trade.
Metal Skin is a temporary answer to the ultimate threat. Use that time to reach cover or a safer position instead of standing through the same attack.
Slows down enemy weapon attack speed.
