Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Save a dash for Leaping Slash and stand away from your partner so it cannot hit both of you. Leave Gloom Bombs’ marked area before they detonate. Place Spectral Assistant near cover so you can swap back to it. Aim Vexing Bolt without leaving yourself exposed.

Mid game · Walkers

Pause attacks while Return to Shadows makes Calico untargetable, then attack when she reappears. Its final upgrade heals her and refreshes her abilities, so expect another Leaping Slash or Ava escape. Use Rabbit Hex on Calico before her next ability cast, then follow with Vexing Bolt. The hex does not interrupt an ability already running.

Late game · Patron

Protect whoever Calico attacks while leaving enough space that Leaping Slash cannot hit several allies. Attack when she reappears after Return to Shadows, keeping your teammates within reach. Once Calico is targetable, use Rabbit Hex on Calico before her next ability cast, then follow with Vexing Bolt. The hex does not interrupt an ability already running.
