Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Check the ground for Hex-Lined Snap Trap and shoot visible traps before getting closer. Avoid fighting with a wall behind you, where Gutshot can stun you. Move away from allies if Consecrating Grenade sets you on fire. Use Fire Scarabs before extending a shooting exchange, and take cover between opportunities to add Djinn’s Marks. Existing marks still damage their target when consumed or expired.

Mid game · Walkers

Use cover when Venator loads Ira Domini. Avoid narrow routes where Gutshot or Hex-Lined Snap Trap can hold you for his next shot. Keep Dust Devil available to move toward cover rather than spending it only to extend the chase.

Late game · Patron

Use solid cover when Venator loads Ira Domini. Wait for him to fire the stakes or for the active timer to expire before advancing; blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies. Hit Venator with Fire Scarabs to reduce their damage, then follow with gunfire from cover.
