Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Move away from Call Bell before it detonates and avoid lining up with your partner for Luggage Cart. Call Bell slows you and reduces accuracy; Luggage Cart carries you along its path. Check where a Doorway leads before entering. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.

Mid game · Walkers

Keep a route around Luggage Cart’s path and avoid following enemies through a Doorway when you cannot see the other exit. If Hotel Guest sends you away, find the exit elevator promptly to return and avoid the additional damage for staying too long.

Late game · Patron

When an ally becomes a Hotel Guest, protect the position where they will return. The Doorman can keep fighting while your teammate is in the hotel. His final upgrade grants him Unstoppable while the hotel is occupied. Use Power Slash from a safe position before closing on The Doorman. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
