Mid game · Walkers
Use Disengaging Sigil to back away when Rat King activates Royal Pestments. Attack again once the barrier breaks or expires, keeping enough stamina to leave Scrap Grenade’s blasts.
Late game · Patron
Use Itani Lo Sahn after Royal Pestments breaks or expires, aiming through Rat King and any enemies lined up behind him. Keep Disengaging Sigil ready to leave the banner’s area afterward.
