Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Keep a dash for Petrifying Bola and avoid repeated Screwjab Dagger hits on the same target. Reach cover before Lethal Venom detonates; losing more health increases its damage. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.

Mid game · Walkers

Petrifying Bola stops you from acting and blocks damage except Lethal Venom. Pressure Vyper to protect a petrified teammate from Lethal Venom.

Late game · Patron

Spread out against Petrifying Bola’s area upgrade and protect allies already affected by Lethal Venom. Vyper can slide uphill, so use cover and control to escape her. Use Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Vyper. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
