Cloak & Dagger
Strategist
Lifeline
Cloak & Dagger function as a hybrid Strategist built around reliable sustain, defensive utility, and tempo control. Their value comes from stabilizing fights with layered healing, protecting allies with Dark Teleportation, and punishing dives through Blind and Vulnerability. They fit teams that want safe backline sustain, brawl support, and strong anti-dive tools.

Strengths
- Reliable healing with forgiving aim requirements
- Strong anti-dive tools through Blind, Vulnerability, Phase, and Invisibility
- Excellent sustain in clustered fights and objective brawls
- Can save teammates from burst ultimates and hard commits with Dark Teleportation
- Vulnerability helps teams confirm kills after defensive cooldowns are forced
- Ultimate creates strong healing lanes for retakes, stalls, and overtime fights
- Flexible stance swap allows healing, disruption, and self-preservation without changing heroes
Weaknesses
- Low raw health and vulnerable when defensive cooldowns are down
- Limited long-range healing compared to pure backline supports
- Can struggle when teammates spread too far apart
- No hard stun or displacement to fully stop divers alone
- Ultimate value drops if teammates do not play inside the lanes
- Vulnerable to sniper sightlines, burst poke, and vertical spam
- High ultimate cost makes bad ultimate timing expensive
- Requires cooldown discipline because Dark Teleportation is both escape and team-save utility
