Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Break Arctic Beam’s line of sight before its movement and fire-rate reductions build. Watch where Ice Path brings Kelvin’s team and keep cover within reach. 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

Frozen Shelter heals Kelvin’s allies and blocks passage through its boundary. Fight an exposed enemy outside the dome or use the time to reposition.

Late game · Patron

Arctic Beam still controls the first seconds after Frozen Shelter ends. Exit Arctic Beam before using Killing Blow, then use Serrated Knives on the person Kelvin just kept standing.
