Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Stop attacking during Riposte; bullets can trigger it too. Attack after it ends, keeping room to dodge Flawless Advance. Then aim Call Bell where the enemy must stand to contest the wave, and keep clear of your own Doorway exit if it would give them a direct route to you.

Mid game · Walkers

Attack Apollo with a teammate from separate positions so one Itani Lo Sahn cannot catch both of you. Keep your strongest attack for after Riposte ends, and avoid following Disengaging Sigil into his teammates.

Late game · Patron

Move out of Itani Lo Sahn’s path during its wind-up. Apollo is invulnerable during the slash sequence; when it ends, protect the affected ally and attack him together. After the slash sequence ends, aim Luggage Cart to move Apollo toward a position your team can attack, keeping wounded allies clear of his arrival.
