How to play

Early game · first 8 minutes
Use Scrap Grenade to pressure the enemy around the wave while you collect souls with your gun. Send Rat Swarm when you can follow with gunfire, preferably after the target has spent a dash. Put on Royal Pestments before stepping into a trade you intend to finish; once the armor breaks, return to cover instead of treating it as permanent protection.
Mid game
Move with teammates toward a wave, a building, or another position worth contesting. Your rats make a reachable target easier to damage, and the grenade can pressure the route they need to escape through. Use the banner to bring your team forward together, then plant it where the enemy must either give ground or fight within its area.
Late game
Stay close enough to threaten the enemy without leaving your teammates behind. Protect the advance with Royal Pestments and the banner, and concentrate fire on a target your rats have weakened. Once the banner is planted, fight from the useful ground it gives you rather than chasing one enemy out of the area; after a win, turn the surviving team toward the next objective.
