Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Check the ground for Hex-Lined Snap Trap and shoot visible traps before getting closer. Avoid fighting with a wall behind you, where Gutshot can stun you. Move away from allies if Consecrating Grenade sets you on fire. Place Spectral Assistant near cover so you can swap back to it. Aim Vexing Bolt without leaving yourself exposed.

Mid game · Walkers

Use cover when Venator loads Ira Domini. Avoid narrow routes where Gutshot or Hex-Lined Snap Trap can hold you for his next shot. Place Spectral Assistant near a safer position before the fight so swapping to it gives you a useful exit.

Late game · Patron

Use solid cover when Venator loads Ira Domini. Wait for him to fire the stakes or for the active timer to expire before advancing; blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies. Use Rabbit Hex on Venator before his next ability cast, then follow with Vexing Bolt. The hex does not interrupt an ability already running.
