Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Leave Splatter’s puddles and dodge or parry Puddle Punch. Wait for The Cube to end before attacking its occupant. Once the enemy is outside The Cube, 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

Goo Ball can bounce off walls and double jump, so leave room to dodge its next contact. A stun gives you time to move away; it does not end Goo Ball. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Viscous when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.

Late game · Patron

Spread out so Goo Ball cannot repeatedly hit several allies in a narrow area. Wait for The Cube to end before trying to finish its occupant. The Cube’s final upgrade removes non-ultimate debuffs. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Viscous when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
