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. Throw Consecrating Grenade at the enemy when you can follow its reduced healing with pressure. Use Gutshot toward a nearby wall when that gives you a safe stun.

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. Throw Consecrating Grenade at Calico, then fire Ira Domini from beside cover when the firing line is clear. Blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies.

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, throw Consecrating Grenade at Calico, then fire Ira Domini from beside cover when the firing line is clear. Blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies.
