Guide
Playstyle
- As a ranged unit, stay alert for potential divers, enemy ranged units, and muskets (especially their liquid fire)
- Use your game sense to decide whether to position just behind the push (using your allies for cover) or stay farther back
- Don’t let your ranged units sit AFK. Once you start shooting, keep moving and dodging
- Your job: maximize DPS while staying alive
