- 02McGinnisPower pairAlso an opponentTurrets add damage around the area McGinnis defends, and Spectral Wall can restrict enemy routes. Fight where the setup supports you while keeping a route around the wall for your own retreat.53%
- 03SevenPower pairAlso an opponentSeven can send Lightning Ball through contested ground and use Static Charge to threaten a delayed stun. Focus the marked enemy when safe, while staying ready for them to move away from the ball.54.7%
- 04KelvinPower pairAlso an opponentKelvin’s beam slows enemies and reduces their fire rate, making a shared target easier to pressure. Stay where his healing can help without grouping so tightly that one disable catches both players.52.5%
- 05PaigePower pairPlot Armor can protect you before you take damage, while Captivating Read restricts enemies who stay in its marked area. Attack while supported, but leave when the barrier breaks and the return damage becomes unsafe.52.9%

- 03KelvinHard counterAlso a strong mateFrozen Shelter can separate Yamato from the target she wants during Shadow Transformation. Keep movement available and avoid spending the protected period attacking the dome from outside.43.6%
- 04McGinnisSoft counterAlso a strong mateClear turrets covering the route you need. If Spectral Wall blocks that route, break it with melee when safe or go around. Avoid trading shots while several turrets can hit you.44.6%
