Mid game · Walkers
Pressure Sinclair when Rabbit Hex is unavailable, while watching the Spectral Assistant he can swap to. Use your ultimate when it helps the fight; withholding it does not prevent Audience Participation from choosing it.
Late game · Patron
Keep space against Rabbit Hex’s area upgrade, and respond to the copied ultimate when Sinclair uses it. Pressure him after his escape or protection is spent, while keeping a route back to your team. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Sinclair when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
