Throws a 150-HP plushie. The plushie lasts for 12s, ignores obstacles and can fly up to 50m (100m in BR). The plushie will track the nearest enemy in sight within 8m range and explode to create an 8m-radius dreamy space. Inside the space, the user and their enemies cannot place Gloo Walls. Their enemies also lose 16 HP/s. The space disappears once the plushie is destroyed. The destroyer will be marked for 5s. Cooldown: 45s

Intel Dossier
A miraculous survivor of a brutal freeze, who gained the power to shape dreams on his last legs. All-powerful in the dreamspace, he acts solitarily and stays untraceable in the waking world.
Playstyle
Nero is a zone-control specialist whose Cryo Mind ability launches a 150 HP plushie that seeks out enemies within 8 meters and creates a Dreamy Space, dealing 12 HP damage per second while blocking Gloo Wall placement inside the zone. He excels at flushing enemies out of cover, denying defensive setups, and forcing fights on his terms. His active playstyle rewards players who think tactically about ability timing and placement rather than pure aim.
Tactical Tips
- 1
Throw the plushie behind rocks or walls where enemies are hiding. The auto-targeting will seek them out, and they cannot place Gloo Walls to defend themselves inside the zone.
- 2
The plushie has 150 HP and can be destroyed. Toss it from angles where enemies cannot easily shoot it, or use it while they are distracted by your teammates.
- 3
Combine Cryo Mind with grenades or smoke for maximum pressure. The Dreamy Space forces enemies to move, making them easy targets for throwable follow-ups.
- 4
In squad fights, time your ability when the enemy squad is clustered behind cover. The 8-meter radius and Gloo Wall denial can disrupt an entire team's defensive setup.
- 5
Save Cryo Mind for mid-to-late game fights when Gloo Walls become critical. Denying wall placement during final circles is extremely powerful.
Best Combos
Nero + Nikita + Hayato + Alok: Nikita cuts enemy healing by 50% while they take Dreamy Space damage, Hayato increases armor penetration for finishing weakened targets, and Alok provides sustain healing.
Nero + Moco + Clu + Kelly: Moco tags enemies caught in your zone for continued tracking, Clu reveals nearby standing enemies so you know exactly where to throw the plushie, and Kelly adds sprint speed for aggressive pushes.
Nero + Xayne + Jota + Tatsuya: Xayne generates shield points and deals extra Gloo Wall damage, Jota restores HP on hits for sustain, and Tatsuya provides rapid repositioning with his dash.
Matchups
Weak Against
Joseph (gains temporary immunity to Nero's ability for several seconds, neutralizing the Dreamy Space damage entirely)Wukong (bush disguise lets him move through or away from the zone without being easily tracked or targeted)Tatsuya (Rebel Rush dashes out of the Dreamy Space zone instantly, negating the slow and damage-over-time)
Strong Against
Lila (Dreamy Space completely shuts down Gloo Wall placement, removing her core mechanic of earning free walls from knockdowns)Skyler (his Riptide Rhythm relies on Gloo Walls being present to destroy them for healing, and Nero prevents wall placement entirely)Kassie (healing bond requires her to stay near teammates, and the persistent zone damage makes holding position costly)
Recommended Weapons
Groza (high damage AR for finishing enemies forced out of cover by Dreamy Space, strong at close-to-mid range)UMP (reliable SMG with armor penetration to capitalize on enemies weakened by zone damage)M1887 (devastating shotgun for pushing enemies who are fleeing the Dreamy Space zone at close range)
