"Predecessor" - Sparrow Trivia Quiz

Answer: Carry

Sparrow is basically the Smash Bros Mario of Carry characters, one of the most well known, classic and straightforward choices for the role that exist.

In "Paragon", Sparrow was actually the character players used during the game's mandatory single player tutorial. Such a feature did not return to "Predecessor", but it then makes more sense that Sparrow's kit is so basic. For one, she was the very first character Epic Games ever made in "Paragon", so they had no real precedent to work with. For another, as the tutorial character, it stands to reason that she should be accessible for new players just joining the game.

Sparrow's kit, despite being basic, has a wide variety of applications and use cases. Because of this, Sparrow is actually quite malleable. She is a perfectly viable Midlaner due to having strong Abilities and the capacity to escape.

Answer: Basic Attack Power

This truly is the best character for people who don't want to think much, and would rather just aim and shoot without further complication. Sparrow's Basic Attacks are as menacing as can come, with a nasty, perfect score of 10. Unfortunately, this comes at the expected cost of Sparrow having very poor Durability and middling Mobility as well, justifying her recommendation as a Carry who expects to have an allied Support to make up for this.

Answer: Each hit deals increasing damage

What's more, the added damage dealt is based on the target's maximum HP. This is wonderful, as it gives Sparrow anti-tank properties without the need to choose an augment, buy an item, or fill out any sort of prerequisite other than simply shooting them. Indeed, players who want to turn their brains off and just shoot will appreciate this Passive.

Answer: It goes through walls

Piercing Shot, as the name implies, pierces Terrain of all kinds. As such, Sparrow can rotate from the lane she is being used in and turn into a deadly sniper against enemies in other lanes, capable of killing them without them even seeing her as long as she can see them.

Answer: Slow

The Slow is surprisingly good for a Carry character. As mentioned in the question, this Ability is great for taking minions and can be a good tool to initiate a fight with. Sparrow can use Hail of Arrows as an opener, to make it difficult for weary foes to elude her, before closing in and going for the kill.

Answer: Attack Speed

Heightened Senses is a very easy tool to use. Do you want to shoot, but faster? Is there ever a time where the answer to that is a no?

Heightened Senses will also, while active, double the Relentless stacks enemies receive when Sparrow shoots them. Something tells me this Ability wants you to shoot enemies.

Answer: It can Critically Strike

Most Ultimate Abilities, in fact most Abilities in general, can't Critically Strike. The fact that Sparrow's Ultimate, of all things, can is a big deal.

This Ultimate is great for when the player just wants whatever is currently in front of them to disappear. The barrage of arrows fired by Inner Fire is quite oppressive, and enemies hit by the whole barrage are either Rampage, Steel and friends, or they're just dead.

Answer: Added duration

Specifically, Inner Fire will now feature Sparrow fire a couple more volleys, the volleys themselves have a couple more shots and they gain an added range as well.

Sparrow's Inner Fire can very easily just delete enemies, so adding to the duration that it's being fired is quite clearly pretty useful.

Answer: Heightened Senses

Heightened Senses receives a stupendous upgrade through this Augment, retaining its original features while straight up turning Sparrow invisible on use and enhancing her movement speed significantly.

While you really can't go wrong with this Augment in any specific context, it is at its best when Sparrow is used as a Midlaner. Here, Heightened Senses gives her the movement speed and invisibility to facilitate escaping a nasty situation, paramount to surviving on the Midlane.

Answer: Reset Ability cooldowns

This can be quite useful in team fights, where Sparrow is both likely to at least record an assist and likely to find use for being able to immediately reuse her Abilities.

Additionally, Sparrow will receive a permanent +1 Armor Penetration. This aspect, clearly, will make it progressively easier for Sparrow to break through tanky characters such as Rampage and Steel.
