HOW TO PLAY

  1. Approach from a side angle with Leading Dash and check whether that route also offers an exit.
  2. Unlock shield throws through melee hits and use them as the target retreats.
  3. Raise Living Legend against major projectiles and create enough space for allies to advance.
  4. Route Freedom Charge where teammates can follow rather than ending far beyond their reach.
COMMON MISTAKE

Chasing the backline beyond allied support and raising the shield too late.
