Leave Captivating Read’s marked area before it detonates, and avoid Bookwyrm’s burning trail. If Plot Armor gives your target the advantage, attack an unprotected enemy or wait behind cover. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.
Watch Rallying Charge’s route: the knights heal allies and damage enemies as they pass. Pressure a target after Plot Armor ends, or attack Paige if she is exposed while protecting someone else. Keep Return to Shadows available to get back toward your team instead of spending it to extend an unsupported chase.
Keep space between allies so Captivating Read cannot immobilize several people. If Paige is repeatedly saving your target, pressure her or prevent her next cast. Use Leaping Slash on Paige once you can reach her safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
