Use cover against Vindicta’s gunfire and Assassinate. Move away from Stake’s landing point before it tethers you. Flight adds Spirit damage to her shots; use cover even when you are beneath her. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.
Use cover while Vindicta is in Flight, and pressure her on landing only if your team can reach her safely. Flight adds Spirit damage to her shots, so Bullet resistance alone does not cover the entire exchange.
Keep wounded allies out of Assassinate’s firing line and interrupt Flight when possible. Flight’s final upgrade refreshes its duration on hero kills, so protect wounded teammates. Follow her landing only when the route is safe. Use Leaping Slash on Vindicta once you can reach her safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
