How to play Johnson:

Johnson is an excellent pick for players who want to play a supportive tank role and help their team secure victories. However, you can also build Johnson mage like I shared above.

He easy to initiate, join teamfights, chase enemies and roam.

Tactics:

Early game (level 1-7): During this stage, he should focus on farming and gaining experience to level up quickly. He should avoid engaging in fights unless necessary.

Mid game (level 8-12): Johnson should focus on building his core items to increase his durability and crowd control abilities. He can also roam around the map and help his teammates secure kills and objectives.

Late game (level 13+): Johnson can also split push and pressure enemy objectives. He should use his ultimate ability to engage enemies and disrupt their positioning, while using his other abilities to crowd control and protect his teammates.

Johnson Skills

Passive – Electro Airbag

Johnson obtains a 300 (+700% Total Physical Defense) shield for 10 seconds when his health falls below 30%.

Skill 1 – Deadly pincers

Johnson throws his spanner in the direction of the target location, dealing opponents in its path 120 / 140 / 160 / 180 / 200 / 220 (+250% Total Physical Defense) Magic Damage. For 0.8 seconds, enemies near the landing point are stunned.

Skill 2 – Electromag rays

Johnson raises his shield, continuously delaying enemies by 20% and inflicting 80/100/120/140/160/180 (+60% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage on them in a fan-shaped region in the target direction. Additionally, each incidence of damage raises the enemy’s subsequent skill damage by 15% (up to 45%). When dealing with creeps, this damage is enhanced by 60%.

For the duration, Johnson can cast Basic Attack and abilities.

Skill 3 – Rapid touchdown

Johnson gradually accelerates as he changes into an automobile. During the acceleration phase, a partnered hero may board the vehicle. When the vehicle collides with an enemy hero or an obstruction, it will explode, dealing 300/350/400 (+160% Total Magic Power)-450/525/600 (+280% Total Magic Power) damage. In addition to dealing magic damage to nearby enemies, this move also electrifies the area and stuns them for 0.5–1 seconds (scales with vehicle speed). The zone’s enemies are continuously slowed and dealt 60, 70, or 80 (+20% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. Johnson can use the spells Throttle to bypass the acceleration phase, Brake to come to a complete halt, and Nitrous to keep picking up speed for up to five seconds. Casting this talent reveals Johnson’s position for 3 seconds.

Passive: Johnson has a 10%, 20%, or 30% improvement in physical defense.
