Where to find it in the menuโ€‹

Heroes โ†’ General settings

Inside are the Combo key and the Target settings subpage.

How to enableโ€‹

  1. Menu (Insert) โ†’ Heroes โ†’ General settings โ†’ assign the Combo key. By default it is not set, and the combo does not start.
  2. On your hero's page, turn on the header toggle and the Combo section (see Hero page).
  3. In game, hold the combo key: the hero uses abilities and items on the selected target.

What it doesโ€‹

  • The Combo key is the same for all heroes: the combo runs while it is held.
  • Combo target selection: a visible enemy hero within the Radius (px) from the center of the screen and no farther than Distance.
  • If no enemy is visible and one of the combo abilities has Around cover on, the combo takes the enemy behind cover closest to the crosshair within the same limits โ€” as long as such an ability can reach them (see Hero page).
  • The combo does not pick enemies in stealth while Ignore invisible is on in the aim config (Aimbot). The combo lets go of a hero that Cheat Death is keeping alive.
  • Lock target: while the key is held, the combo keeps the selected hero until they die, even if they briefly drop out of sight.
  • While the combo is running and State of this subpage is on, the main weapon aims at the combo target using the Players page settings of the active aim config (the shared one from the Aimbot tab or the hero's own).
  • A ring is drawn around the aim point on the target:
    • red ("Active ring color") while the combo is running;
    • yellow ("Preview ring color") โ€” a hint showing whom the combo will take while the key is not held. Visible only if "Ring only when active" is off.
    • for a target behind cover, the ring is drawn at the body center with a brick wall icon inside.

FAQโ€‹

I hold the key but the combo doesn't work.

  • The combo key is not set by default. Assign it here.
  • On the hero page, the header toggle and State of the Combo section must be on.
  • The combo does not work with the shop open or with a free cursor.

The combo doesn't pick a target. The target must be visible and within the Radius (px) from the center of the screen. Increase the radius or move the crosshair closer to the enemy.

I want to see whom the combo will take before pressing the key. Turn off Ring only when active: a yellow preview ring will appear.
