Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Stay close enough to your lane partner to help if Stalker’s Mark hits. Watch behind the marked player for Drifter’s reappearance, and attack him together rather than chasing him out of sight. Land Barrage hits from a position that lets you get away; each hero hit increases your damage. Save Flying Cloak for the way back to your team.

Mid game · Walkers

Stay close enough to help the teammate Drifter marks. During Eternal Night, you count as isolated even beside allies, so keep cover within reach.

Late game · Patron

When Drifter reappears behind a marked teammate, apply Affliction if you can reach him safely. Follow with Barrage while he is exposed; Affliction itself cannot deliver the killing hit. Launch Flying Cloak toward cover and keep your teammate close enough to help before continuing the attack.
