Abrams

Abrams build & guide

Abrams has the bulk and sustain to lead from the front, often running into the middle of his foes and watching them scatter. If his enemies waste their fire on him, his backline teammates can lay out damage with impunity.

Is Abrams good right now?

Abrams sits in tier A (#10 of 39): a very strong pick. They win 52.0% of their matches and appear in 32.7% of them (134,702 matches on patch 2026-09-26). The patch barely moved them (51.8% before). In high ranks (Oracle+) they do worse: tier B at 51.6%.

The best-performing build right now is a spirit build: "Abrams imortal bizarro", at 62.5% over 40 matches. If you prefer a gun style, "Rocky Balboa - O Demônio Azul" sits at 61.5%.

Abrams does especially well against Mirage, Pocket and The Doorman and struggles most against Rat King (41.9%) and Graves. Their best teammate is Rat King.

Written from match statistics; updated daily.

Hard hitting, hard headed, and hard drinking; Detective Abrams has been a fixture on the New York investigating scene for years. From stolen art, to missing persons, to ritual murders; Abrams didn't just take any case that came across his desk... he solved them. But his days of following cheating spouses came to an end the day he opened his office door and found The Tome sitting on his desk. No instruction was left for him save for a brief note scrawled in onyx blood that read "Don't let them have it". Abrams hasn't figured where the thing came from; but seeing as his home has been broken into, his office tossed on 3 different occasions, and his car firebombed he has a vested interest in figuring out what the hell is going on.
