Main idea

Take positions behind durable cover and avoid unnecessary exposure. Track shots: count down to the empty/reload sequence.

Standing in open lines: repeated ranged shots delete squishies before you stabilize.
Dragging the fight: destructible map removes cover and makes later turns strictly harder.

Winning line

You keep consistent cover/LOS breaks for the first ammo cycle.
You identify the empty/reload window and use it to reposition + focus damage safely.

Win conditions

You keep consistent cover/LOS breaks for the first ammo cycle. You identify the empty/reload window and use it to reposition + focus damage safely. You end before cover fully collapses.

Opener

Take positions behind durable cover and avoid unnecessary exposure.
Track shots: count down to the empty/reload sequence.

Midfight

Pressure without overexposing: chip while maintaining LOS breaks.
When empty is confirmed, reposition aggressively to set up a safe focus turn.

Finisher

Commit burst during reload/empty timing; avoid long chases after cover is gone.
If the map is crumbling, prioritize a decisive close over perfect efficiency.

▾

Run killers

Standing in open lines: repeated ranged shots delete squishies before you stabilize.
Dragging the fight: destructible map removes cover and makes later turns strictly harder.
Misplaying ammo windows: failing to punish reload/empty timing turns a winnable fight into attrition.

Positioning rules

Default: end turns behind something that blocks shots (treat open tiles as unsafe).
Don’t bunch around a single piece of cover that can be destroyed—have a secondary fallback.
Use the reload turn to rotate your most threatened unit to safety, then collapse.
If you must cross open space, do it during the empty/reload window, not when ammo is full.

Loadout hints

Some durability or mitigation A way to pressure from cover

Burst for punish window Mobility to rotate cover

Slow, cover-dependent comp with no burst (map degradation will beat you)
