Stop attacking during Riposte; bullets can trigger it too. Attack after it ends, keeping room to dodge Flawless Advance. Then build Afterburn with gunfire, keeping Flame Dash for a route back to your partner.

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, use Napalm and gunfire on Apollo to build Afterburn, then keep Flame Dash available to leave if his team turns on you.
