Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Leave Captivating Read’s marked area before it detonates, and avoid Bookwyrm’s burning trail. If Plot Armor gives your target the advantage, attack an unprotected enemy or wait behind cover. 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

Watch Rallying Charge’s route: the knights heal allies and damage enemies as they pass. Pressure a target after Plot Armor ends, or attack Paige if she is exposed while protecting someone else. Launch Flying Cloak toward cover and teleport before your movement is disabled. Keep Enchanter’s Satchel for incoming damage, without letting the cloak expire while you wait inside.

Late game · Patron

Keep space between allies so Captivating Read cannot immobilize several people. If Paige is repeatedly saving your target, pressure her or prevent her next cast. Pressure Paige with Barrage before getting close, then keep Flying Cloak available for a safe exit after your close-range damage.
