Save stamina to escape Mina when you are low; Rake grows stronger as you lose health. Watch for Sanguine Retreat’s brief recasts before pursuing. 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.
Pressure Mina after her available Sanguine Retreat recasts are spent. Move away from Nox Nostra’s bats before their silence blocks your escape ability.
Protect the wounded teammate Mina approaches; Rake becomes more dangerous as their health falls. Follow Sanguine Retreat only when you can see Mina’s destination and your team can support the pursuit. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Mina when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
