Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Once Mini Turret is down, use Serrated Knives on McGinnis from the flank, not into the turret setup. Use Slice and Dice around Spectral Wall. Bloodletting does not win a prolonged turret fight.

Mid game · Walkers

Move out of Heavy Barrage’s targeted area and attack McGinnis from a route her turrets cannot cover. She can still dash during Heavy Barrage. Break Spectral Wall with melee only when you are safe from the enemies behind it.

Late game · Patron

Clear turrets that block your route to the objective, then pressure McGinnis with teammates. Move the fight outside Medicinal Specter when its healing is keeping her team alive; Heavy Barrage slows her but does not immobilize her. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on McGinnis when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
