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. Spread Mini Turrets along the enemy’s route toward you. Place Medicinal Specter beside cover so you can heal safely.

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 healing lock ends, place Medicinal Specter where the wounded teammate can recover behind cover, and keep a turret covering the enemy’s route toward them.
