Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Stay close enough to your lane partner to help if Stalker’s Mark hits. Watch behind the marked player for Drifter’s reappearance, and attack him together rather than chasing him out of sight. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.

Mid game · Walkers

Stay close enough to help the teammate Drifter marks. During Eternal Night, you count as isolated even beside allies, so keep cover within reach.

Late game · Patron

Watch the teammate hit by Stalker’s Mark and respond when Drifter appears behind them. Eternal Night counts you as isolated even beside allies. Stay within reach to help and keep cover nearby. Use Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Drifter. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
