Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Check the ground for Hex-Lined Snap Trap and shoot visible traps before getting closer. Avoid fighting with a wall behind you, where Gutshot can stun you. Move away from allies if Consecrating Grenade sets you on fire. Save Disengaging Sigil to get back out after Flawless Advance. Use Riposte against an incoming hero attack; trooper fire will not trigger it.

Mid game · Walkers

Use cover when Venator loads Ira Domini. Avoid narrow routes where Gutshot or Hex-Lined Snap Trap can hold you for his next shot. Face the enemy and use Disengaging Sigil to leap back toward cover before you are disabled.

Late game · Patron

Use solid cover when Venator loads Ira Domini. Wait for him to fire the stakes or for the active timer to expire before advancing; blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies. Reach Venator with Flawless Advance, keeping Disengaging Sigil for the way back to your team.
