**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

What does Longshot... do?

Besides burst damage?

This may very well be a case of the champion looking a lot less useful on paper than in actuality, and you simply have to play the champion to understand its utilities, similar to Warlock, but I don't see a lot that Longshot does outside of damage, and even that's conditional. As a mystic champion his only reliable method of nullifying is through his sp2, and his damage falls short against champions with immunities. On top of that, having to build up to said damage every fight.

I'm sitting on a 6* Longshot right now, planning to rank him up soon, and would appreciate any input on where he can be useful over some of the other mystic champs.

    His biggest hidden asset is his superboosted ability accuracy. Any node that decreases AA he more or less completely ignores because you have a base 300% chance to parry and it can't be passively decreased.
