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. 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.
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. Keep Slice and Dice available for a route back to cover instead of using it only to close the distance.
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. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Paige when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
