Threat Hero Notes

   No Threat
3
 Adagio Not much of a big threat. Shoot from afar with your Glimmershot (A).
3
 Petal Snipe munions with one Glimmershot and then snipe her down.
4
 Fortress Fairly easy to beat. As always, keep sniping.
5
 Celeste Avoid her stuns and shoot from maximum range to try and avoid all her stars.
5
 Joule Avoid stuns, and when Joule is using her ultimate, use Glimmershot when she is unable to do anything.
5
 Kestrel If the enemy builds weapon, it won't be a huge problem except for the ultimate. Use your Glimmershot to kill her. When the enemy builds crystal, expect her to do similar things like you do so use that for your advantage. The smarter Kestrel wins.
5
 Ringo Ringo is a squishy hero, BUT can be very powerful. Watch out for weapon builds and Achilles Shot.
5
 Rona Have not dealt with a Rona yet with Kestrel so I'll leave this neutral.
5
 Skaarf Skaarf's fireballs can deal huge damage. Once again, shoot with your maximum range Glimmershot.
6
 Ardan May take a long time to kil if they build on heavy defence. Use Active Camo (B) if Ardan uses his ultimate. Wait till the barrier wears off.
6
 Catherine Catherine isn't a threat to Kestrel. Don't use One Shot, One Kill (Ultimate) when her barrier is up, especially when your teammates are near her. Watch out for Silencing.
6
 Glaive Remember not to push the lane too much since you can be afterburned into the enemy turrets.
6
 Phinn Avoid getting pulled towards Phinn. Most likely you won't be able to get out.
6
 Reim Watch out for the heavy crystal builds. Shoot from afar with your maximum range.
6
 SAW Weapon Builds can be deadly and watch out for Suppressing Fire. Snipe with your maximum range.
6
 Taka Snipe as fast as you can and shoot in bushes that Taka may be in. Occasionally use Active Camo to find out his whereabouts.
7
 Skye Skye can stick to you with Suri Strike, her Strafing, and her Ultimate. Try to avoid her shots and her ultimate.
7
 Vox Watch out for his ultimate's silence as your abilities are your main source of real damage.
8
 Blackfeather Blackfeather may be tough if he sticks to you and attacks. Kestrel won't be able to use Active Camo so keep sniping. Use your boots if you are extremely low.
9
 Koshka Since you have a crystal build it will be extremely hard to counter Koshka. Try to stay away from her at all times.
9
 Krul Watch out when with a support. If an enemy gets too close you can be in grave danger.

Who is Kestrel??? Top

Kestrel is an elite Stormguard archer who takes down targets from a distance. When building weapon, she deals rapid, sustained damage and uses stealth to find better footing when enemies get too close. Kestrel's crystal path affords longer stealth times, which sets up aggressive tactical plays. She's best in the lane where she can use the protection of her turret to safely collect gold.

Abilities Top

Adrenaline (Heroic Perk): Each time Kestrel lands a basic attack, her attack speed is boosted by 10% and also reduces the cost of her abilities by 10%. It stacks to 5 and then wears out in 4 seconds if she stops basic attacking.

Glimmershot (A): Kestrel fires an arrow, landing an armor-piercing basic attack on the first target in its path. The arrow then pierces through, dealing crystal damage to the target and other enemies behind it. Kestrel can keep several arrows in reserve. After 3.3 seconds without using her bow, these arrows are automatically reloaded. Reload time is decreased based on attack speed. This ability will be Kestrel's main source of power. Glimmershot is extremely deadly with a crystal build.
