Summary & Playstyle

Star-Lord is a ranged duelist who excels at consistent DPS and mobility through his jet boots. His blasters provide sustained pressure, while his evasive tools make him difficult to pin down. He thrives in kiting compositions where he can deal damage while staying out of reach. Players should focus on maintaining distance and weaving in damage while avoiding overextension. Star-Lord shines in extended fights where his consistency outlasts enemy burst. He pairs best with vanguards who can peel and strategists who can amplify his output. His weaknesses are high burst and heavy CC. Initiators and assassins can punish him if he mispositions. Despite this, when protected, Star-Lord becomes a reliable DPS core who can decide the outcome of fights with sustained damage.
