FLINT BEASTWOOD'S GUIDE
Introduction
Boasting the longest attack range in Newerth, Flint Beastwood is the consummate sniper and late-game DPS carry. His strength lies in his counterattack and ability to 'kite' enemies with Explosive Flare, attacking them from long range while staying in relative safety behind allies. Flint is best played solo (preferably middle) as a hard carry.

Abilities
How to play
Early game, your range and projectile speed are your best friends. You should play defensively, focusing on last hits over harassment or chasing after kills. If your opponent decides to rush you, or you see an opportunity in which you can damage him and kill creeps in one shot, you should use Explosive Flare. Most enemies will tend to run after being hit with it, so you should take the opportunity to get a few shots in on your opponent's back as he runs. Explosive Flare's high damage allows you to combo it, a few autoattacks, and Money Shot to finish weak opponents off. Money Shot is channeling, but it has a very high range, allowing you to deal massive damage without being seen. The cooldown is reduced considerably at later levels, allowing you to use it at the beginning of a fight and at the end to pick enemies off. You will, in all circumstances, want to stay behind meatier allies. You are the primary damage dealer, and should be protected. Get those headshots!
