Official team-up
Energy Refraction
Iron Man's repulsor beams refract off Captain America's shield to sweep lanes.
Season 9 (July 10) rebuilt the Team-Up system. This entry reflects the pre-rework data and is being re-verified against the new official list.
Activation: C / Right Click
Iron Man
Duelist
- Refraction Core
- Repulsors deal 15% increased damage during shield refraction.
How to run it in ranked
- When to run it
- Run this in brawl comps holding a lane or choke. A stacked enemy push walking into a 150 DPS refraction sweep loses the fight before it starts, and Iron Man's 15% repulsor bonus makes his normal poke meaningfully scarier during the window.
- How to trigger it
- Iron Man fires his beam into Captain America's raised shield (C / right click alignment) and it refracts into the wide sweep. The two of you need a shared angle on the same choke for it to land.
- What gets you killed
- This is the most coordination-hungry duo on the list. In solo queue, ping the choke and confirm Cap is actually blocking before Iron Man commits the beam — an unaligned refraction is just Iron Man wasting damage into a shield.
