When to Pick
Brawl and rush comps where speed boost enables fast team engages and disengages. Maps with environmental kill potential like Ilios Well, Nepal Sanctum, and Lijiang Garden. When your team needs fast rotations and engage speed. To counter enemy slows and enable aggressive movement.
When to Avoid
When your team needs more raw healing output than Crossfade aura provides. Against poke comps that play at range where your aura does not reach everyone. When your team is very spread out across the map and cannot benefit from grouped speed boost.
