How to play against/as Clash

I am going to describe how to effectively win against clash and play as her, because I notice that a lot of people ban her during ranked matches and when I ask why, they just respond with shallow points. A lot of them don't know how to counter her properly or just think she's a bad and forgettable operator.

Do's(as an attacker)

-rush her(when she has her shield up)
This is because she is not melee proof like monty at full extend, and that she has no way of instantly killing you, that shock is more dangerous the longer she is able to use it.
-be wary of other attackers or threats
Blindly charging in an attempt to kill clash leaves you extremely vulnerable to other threats that are far more real then the clash with her shield up.
-have a teammate if possible
When there are 2 people with guns on clash, it makes killing her easier because it limits her options far more severely, also you can have that other person watch for other threats, allowing you to kill clash easier.
-use flashes and stuns
Like any person, being unable react properly can shorten there life span.
-hipfire
Once you have melee'd her, she will attempt to rotate to continue protecting herself, you wanna try to rotate against her to lay bullets into her legs or body.

Extra Tips

-clash legitimately can not kill you(unless you are low) when she has her shield up
-other operators can kill you when clash has her shield up
-be smart and be aware of the outer edges of your screen and corners, people die a lot to missing information because they only pay attention to the middle of their screen

Don't's(as an attacker)

-break line of sight
Essentially, don't turn around or away from her, the second you take your eyes off of her, she is capable of switching to her gun and killing you. You can use this to bait her but it's relatively safer to try and kill her while she has her shield up instead of her high fire rate smg.
-randomly shoot bullets into her shield
It's a bulletproof shield, your bullets will do nothing to her. You are wasting the bullets you have in your mag, if threats arrive, you might not have enough bullets to handle it.
-switch to your Zofia grenade launcher
If you are attempting to stun her and you are by yourself, don't, she recovers faster than you are able to switch back to your deadly gun. If you are using the impact nades that's fine but attempt to hit around her shield because hitting the shield directly does minimal damage. If you are with a friend, those stuns can help just make sure to tell your teammate because it's only a moment that she is stunned.
-throw grenades directly at her shield
Grenades bounce, also they do much less damage if she is facing the explosive. Also usually clashes teammates might be behind Clash, throwing a nade around her will be far more useful then throwing at her.
-try to melee kill her
It is nearly impossible to try and kill clash by meleeing her twice, just attempt to shoot her legs once she is melee'd

Extra Tips
-if clash has her gun out treat her like a normal defender
-if clash attempts to do that spin trick, shoot her legs more then 4 or 5 times or wait for her to turn around and shoot her in the head. ALWAYS AIM FOR THE HEAD IF SHE DOES THE SPIN TRICK.
-DON'T LIGHT UP HER SHIELD IT'S FRICKIN BULLET PROOF

Do's(as Clash)

-keep your distance
You aren't melee proof.
-use your shock as often as possible
It's free damage, just don't exhaust it in case you might need to use it again right away.
-have teammates
If you have teammates, you are worlds more effective, while shocked the enemy can not react properly and with call outs and pings, your teammate can easily kill the enemy. They can also help defend you if an enemy get's cocky.
-break line of sight to switch to your gun
Switching while being looked upon is a one way ticket to death. The spin trick is kinda hard to do and if you don't have good reflexes or good mechanical aim, you'll be having trouble trying to land your shots after a spin trick.

Extra Tips
-Call outs are key to helping your teammate win the engagement, but do not be obnoxious about it.
-if someone is rushing you attempt to break line of sight and switch as soon a possible, you are basically defenseless if you have your shield up at melee range.
-having teammates with you makes you MUCH MUCH MUUUUUUUCH more effective.

Don't's(as Clash)

-get up close to the enemy
As it has been said before, you are not melee proof, you will die, if the enemy is too close and you are by your self.
-pretend you're monty
You simply aren't, don't try to block a door to keep someone out or in, this is because you aren't melee proof.
-mag dump someone
Your tiny smg has a very high rate of fire, a low mag capacity,and it's your only lethal ranged weapon that can kill quickly try to keep engagements with a single enemy 6-8 bullets long, or you'll find yourself dealing with too many enemies and not enough ammo.
-stay in shield form if you are the last one alive
The enemy can rush you without any risk to their immediate life, unless you can bait them with your teammates traps.

Extra Tips
-I prefer the smg, but the pistol can help you manage ammo easier, and it has a faster reload and ADS time
-be wary of kali because if she does a stun on you every time she shoots your shield
-call out grenades for your teammates, kinda like how a monty would callout a nitro about to get thrown over his head.

i've once beat a clash with blitz all i did was just use the flash shield,melee her,and shooting her feet eventually she gave up and just let me kill her

[Liracy]

I'm never not banning clash. She is cancer and requires WAY more effort than any other op in the game to kill while still damaging you from safety. No thanks.

[Vivy]

if you have a zof, kali ect you can time stuns or other utility so that when her shield gets knocked back you shoot her with a friend. Grenades are also very effective if you have them. EMP's disable her electricity making it easy to aproach her. These are some extra ways of killing the annoying hoe.

@Katgoop this might blow your mind, but this game has NEW players too.

[GalliumArmor]

@Katgoop, a lot of people I've seen either do it wrong or straight up don't know how, it's really depressing

[SSgt. Knox]

I'll write you a guide on spelling.
