Hero Skills
Franco's three active abilities and passive buff are built around simple mechanics that are easy to understand and master. Below we will tell you what skills the character is endowed with, and also consider their weaknesses and strengths.
Passive Skill - Power of the Wasteland
When moving around the map and not taking damage for 5 seconds, Franco increases his movement speed by 10%, and also begins to automatically restore health points by 1% of the maximum indicator. The buff also starts to accumulate on the character The power of the wasteland up to 10 charges.
The next skill, when the hero is fully filled with strength, will increase damage up to 150%.
First Skill - Iron Hook
In the indicated direction танк releases his iron hook. With a successful capture of the hero, he takes control of him and quickly pulls him to him. Small forest monsters and enemy minions can be moved in the same way.
Skill XNUMX - Furious Strike
The character becomes angry and deals increased physical damage in an area to nearby enemies, also slowing their target by 70% for XNUMX seconds. The ability only activates lifesteal from skills, not from damage dealt.
Ultimate - Blood Hunt
The hero accumulates strength in his hook and hammer. When approaching an enemy, it stuns them for the next 1,8 seconds, hitting them 6 times and dealing increased physical damage. This method of stun is unique to Franco - the hero becomes completely blocked, unable to move or use skills, and any incoming attacks are interrupted. Ulta cannot be stopped both from the outside and the tank itself.
Suitable emblems
Franco is perfect Support emblems or Tank. Consider in what situations and with what tactics one of the two builds below will help you.
Support Emblems will speed up the cooldown of abilities and increase the speed of movement. "Second breath» will reduce the recharge time of a combat spell and activated skills of items from the assembly. talent"Right on target” will slow down enemies and reduce their attack speed.
If you are going to play as the main tank, the appropriate emblems will be useful. They will increase the amount of health, accelerate the regeneration of HP and increase hybrid protection. All talents should be chosen from a set of support emblems, as they significantly speed up the cooldown of the character's skills and help to deal more damage to enemies.
Best Spells
Flash - a mobile spell that can save you in a difficult situation, help you finish off a fleeing enemy or drag someone under a tower to cause colossal damage.
Revenge - a good choice for fighters or tanks, which will help not only absorb incoming damage, but also mirror it on opponents.- torpor - Franco is the initiator, in any team battle he should be in the center. And this combat spell will give a significant head start for the allies and will not allow the targets to scatter in different directions.

How to play as Franco
Even at an early stage, Franco can become a dangerous opponent. At the beginning of the game, you have several options to start: prevent the enemy jungler from farming or help other allies in the lane. If you use the hook wisely, be able to attract specific targets, then you will give your ally enough time to cause damage.
Try to pull players directly under the towers, so you can deal with many one-on-one. You can use the cunning tactics of experienced players - release the hook, as soon as it touches the enemy, activate the Flash back. Thus, the range of the skill increases significantly, and the enemy’s chances of survival decrease.
Move around the map, periodically helping allies from different lanes, initiate ganks. With the advent of the first items and the ultimate, Franco becomes even more devastating in skillful hands.
In the middle it makes no sense to attack alone - the enemies are farmed enough to survive tank damage or tower hits. However, the hook is effective against characters with low health points. The high range of the skill will give you a chance to finish off the receding enemy.
Use the right combo, which is suitable for both massive fights and local fights:
- Use first skillto pull the target towards you.
- At once squeeze the second, slowing down the enemy and giving them no time to escape.
- Activate your ultimate. Its duration is enough with the head, the enemy will not be able to get out of it, and the allies who came to the rescue will finish him off with their damage.
Franco is an easy character that is great for mastering beginners. He is considered one of the best tanks in the game with a strong stun that allows him to kill enemies one at a time and easily pick up distant targets. We will be grateful if you leave your comments about the character and your experience of playing on it below.
Franco is an excellent roamer-initiator and can also tank, but better in the late game.
The best assembly is the one that “ADJUSTS” to certain enemy characters, it’s better to change them in advance before the game, like: anti-ADK items with a focus on armor and HP, anti-MAG, respectively, Athena’s shield, etc., and also stupidly in Damage when there are no strong damage dealers in the team.
At the beginning of choosing Persians, it is better to agree with the shooter so that he takes a Persian with a camp like Moscow or Miya, etc.
As soon as the game starts, immediately go to the enemy red buff, 90% of the foresters do not watch or protect them from Franco’s hook, try not to finish them off after the hook hits, press the flash and move away from the spawn as much as possible, thereby the mob will get sick, which will slow down the farming of the forester.
On the line, stay within the attack radius of your tower, in short, play as number two, try to throw a hook when the enemy hero begins to finish off (the last poke) your creep, almost always all the Persians are STANDING at this time and actually stop!!! And this period of time needs to be hooked
In the midgame, after successful kill hooks or assists, go to the mid lane or to another lane (of course, if your shooter is not swallowing up to the tonsils) your task is to roam and let your teammates get a kill, it’s best to press CASKLE on the approach of the hostile Persian to ultanulate 2 skills and 1 if he runs away .
In the late game, stay among strong players, there are usually 1-2 of them, usually a mid player or a jungler, don’t hesitate to set up ambushes in the bushes, and yes, you shouldn’t hook a tank or an overfed fighter if there are only 2 of you
try to throw hooks and ults at shooters or those who do the most damage, but there are exceptions like estes, this fucking sub can kill the entire team in a fight, so this is a priority target
The most important thing is to not play according to the template, there are always exceptions where you will need to help, where on the contrary you should not approach, etc.
+ always look at the MAP, no matter what heroes you play, as they say, one eye on us and the other on the Caucasus. Good luck have fan gg,hf
Hello. Very cool guides. The only thing, if it doesn’t make it difficult, could you add to these guides for each hero who they are countering with, in order to practice against these characters. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you for your appreciation of our articles. We are gradually updating the guides, we will think about adding a section on counterpicks.
And who said that the ult can't be stopped? I used the ult 2 times in the whole skating rink, the rest of the time was interrupted ..
Update guide
Guide updated.
I advise you not to play Franco after he was fixed
Ahhh seriously?
Franco is one of the most difficult characters in the game.
Learn how to throw hooks normally, that's 200 games
And then you need to be able to read the map and constantly move between lanes to help the allies.
And I do not agree with the position of the tank - Franco support.
In the early to mid game, it's best to stay out of the front and play from towers.
As soon as the opponents see the franco, they immediately scatter, and standing at the towers behind their allies, you need to catch the moments when the opponents began to fight and all attention should be in battle. Immeno at this moment, Franco throws a hook from behind his allies and pulls the victim to the tower.
It’s better to collect items for reload speed, because without a hook and an ult, Franco is just a bold useless hero.
I completely agree with you the emblem of the tank of norms and from the assemblies there are three assemblies that are optimal for him and for the game, depending on what the opponents take
