Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Stop attacking during Riposte; bullets can trigger it too. Attack after it ends, keeping room to dodge Flawless Advance. Then aim at the enemy your Deadheads should attack. Put Grasping Hands across their route toward you.

Mid game · Walkers

Attack Apollo with a teammate from separate positions so one Itani Lo Sahn cannot catch both of you. Keep your strongest attack for after Riposte ends, and avoid following Disengaging Sigil into his teammates.

Late game · Patron

Move out of Itani Lo Sahn’s path during its wind-up. Apollo is invulnerable during the slash sequence; when it ends, protect the affected ally and attack him together. After the slash sequence ends, aim your weapon at Apollo so your nearby Deadheads prioritize the same target. Keep Grasping Hands between yourself and an enemy trying to reach you.
