Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Save a dash for Leaping Slash and stand away from your partner so it cannot hit both of you. Leave Gloom Bombs’ marked area before they detonate. Apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.

Mid game · Walkers

Pause attacks while Return to Shadows makes Calico untargetable, then attack when she reappears. Its final upgrade heals her and refreshes her abilities, so expect another Leaping Slash or Ava escape. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Calico when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.

Late game · Patron

Calico still dives one target with Leaping Slash. Hold Killing Blow until Return to Shadows ends, use Serrated Knives along the Leaping Slash path, and use Slice and Dice after she can be targeted again.
