WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / VERTICALA frontline body draws the melee threat so this fast, fragile skirmisher can dart in for precision damage against Off-Guard foes.
SnareLAND / VERTICALA controller that inflicts poison or Off-Guard conditions directly feeds the skirmisher's bonus precision damage.
ShadeLAND / VERTICALA concealment-based ambusher softens targets from hiding while the skirmisher exploits the resulting Off-Guard state.
PUNISHES
✖ isolated targets✖ standing still✖ low Reflex
