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. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.

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 Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Calico. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.

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 Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Calico. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
