Ursa The Shaman

* Ursa
* Jungle Ursa

*Rare*

#### **OFFICAL DESCRIPTION**

*The bear is Ursa's spirit animal, and is also symbolic of her character: fierce, determined, and a bit grouchy after long naps. Her magical shaman staff is a welcome sight to allies and feared by her enemies.*

## **Battle-Spec's**

-*A wave from her staff damages foes and heals allies*

*-Medium Range Healer*

-*Normal dash range, speed, and cooldown*

## Advice

* Ursa is very squishy, but her staff does area damage (hitting foes in a line) and hits quite hard. Her biggest advantage is her healing skill.
* Healing is particularly useful in group situations (team Dungeon Royale, Crystal Defense, Hold the Gold).
* Ursa can only heal others, not herself (unless she uses a Healing Totem). An attack will heal friendlies if it hits them and wound enemies. It is possible for the same blow to have both effects at once. However, while Ursa heals, she herself cannot heal naturally from not attacking.
* One way to use Ursa in solo play is to rely on elementals or spawners. Ursa can hide behind a screen of allies. When they enter combat, she can hit the enemy and heal the ally at the same time. This makes it hard for enemies to overpower elementals. This is weak against guardians such as Okoyo The Alchemist and Sigrid The Ice Princess because their attacks can arc over elementals. Also, if an elemental dies (and they often do die easily), Ursa may not have enough mana to resummon one, leading to a quick death.
* Ursa's attack also damages multiple enemies who are clumped together. Unlike Coatl or Piro, she can hit enemies who are behind minion screens.
* Another strategy is to keep a low profile until the endgame, or rely on ranged spells, towers, elementals, or minion spawners to do most of the damage.
* Ursa usually needs to stay out of close combat with melee characters. However, it's possible to beat these characters in close combat if their aim is poor, because Ursa hits easily. Azai is an exception because of the way he darts about.
* Ursa is also relatively slow and so vulnerable to Azai and Hanzo. She's also vulnerable to being slowed and then killed by elementals.
* Ursa's area attack hits Treadwell even when he's underground.
* Teammates poisoned CANNOT get healed by Ursa's attack (or by any other healing).

## Ursa Progression Tips

*Rank 1-2: 0-40 Trophies*

* Azai loves to be very aggressive towards you: Try using explosive barrel to stop his advance.
* Create a hoard of minions to consistently heal & absorb all damage.
* Beware of fire runes & throwable bomb blasts which will destroy your minion hoard.
* I prefer not to use the elementals because they are too expensive in mana cost.

*Rank 3: 40-60 Trophies*

* Play trio battle royale for quicker trophies as you are a support character.
* In trio battle royale, if an ally keeps following you both in the waiting room, the map, and the battlefield, then it is a bot (normally a sigrid).
* First place grants about +7 trophies, so just win 3x.
* Don't have to bother hiding or protecting your spawners. You can always spawn a new one as immediate defense
* 'Throwable Bomb' is an amazing ability as the enemies tend to clump together
* **Duel Teaming Approach:** If your teammate is about to attack an enemy, get to the other side of the enemy and hit the enemy while healing your teammate. Or, stay behind your teammate if they are a melee, since then Ursa can easily hit both her teammate and the opponent.

*Rank 4: 60-90 Trophies*

* Consider starting with barracks. Place one down as soon as possible.
* Ursa's normal attack can hit through walls if you stand close to them.
* Considering going to the map center to avoid the storm, since Ursa is mostly a zoning character.

*Solo Battle Royale*

* Use Ursa's power of healing allies with her staff to your advantage and use abilities such as elementals, Spider Web, and Rats Nest. After a battle, there is no need to waste your mana resummoning injured elementals.
* If you don't want to use or don't have any of those abilties, use Triple Arrow, because it works for all characters.

*Trio Battle Royale*

* Try to line up attacks to hit allies an enemies to heal teammates with her staff.
