Predecessor features the return of characters from the Paragon game. Which makes sense, as Predecessor has been advertised to be a reboot (or a second attempt) to the cancelled MOBA game. Each character had their own classifications and what kind of attacker they are, with a mixture of pretty much everything you want in heroes. In this guide, we will be focusing on Howitzer, a Rocket Raccoon lookalike that pilots an exo suit that helps him fight against much larger heroes like Riktor. We will be focusing on how you can play as Howitzer in Predecessor.
HOWITZER Guide – Predecessor
Howitzer is a ranged caster that uses an explosive arsenal as a way to fight against enemies that are much larger than him. Due to his size, Howitzer has to rely on his exo suit / mech in order to combat against enemy forces.
If you want to play as Howitzer, then you need to learn his moveset and skill in order to properly play him. Here is the list:
- Armed Salvo – Howitzer’s next basic attack deals 25 (+5) bonus magical damage around the target. Howitzer restores 10% of the damage deals as mana, increasing to 50% against Heroes. Armed Salvo’s cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds each time Howitzer uses an ability.
- Cannon – Ranged basic attack dealing 51 physical damage.
- R2000 Missile – Fire a long range rocket that explodes on impact, dealing 70 (+17) magical damage to all enemies in a small area.
- Land Mine – Lob a mine that will explode 2.5 seconds after landing, dealing 80 (+13) magical damage to all enemies in the area and Knocking Back any Enemy Heroes (and Howitzer) caught in the blast. Explodes early upon reactivation.
- Slow Grenades – Launch a clust er of 16 proximity bombs that explodes when an enemy enters their zone, dealing 30 (+6) magical damage and Slowing them by 15% for 1 seconds. Subsequent hits against the same target deals 5 (+1) magical damage and reapply the Slow.
- Make It Rain – Thrust up into the sky, allowing Howitzer to move freely as he rains down a salvo of 12 missiles from above, dealing 420 (+27) magical damage over 3 seconds. Missiles utilize laser guidance to home towards Howitzers painted target.
