Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Clear Mini Turrets you can shoot safely before taking a long fight in their range. Go around Spectral Wall or break it with melee attacks when the enemies behind it cannot punish you. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.

Mid game · Walkers

Heavy Barrage slows her for one Leaping Slash; she can still use stamina. Use Ava around Spectral Wall, never through it onto turrets. Do not linger in Medicinal Specter for a second Leaping Slash.

Late game · Patron

Clear turrets that block your route to the objective, then pressure McGinnis with teammates. Move the fight outside Medicinal Specter when its healing is keeping her team alive; Heavy Barrage slows her but does not immobilize her. Use Leaping Slash on McGinnis once you can reach her safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
