Abilities
Deny Advantage — The gang leader isn't Off-Guard to creatures of 7th level or lower that are Hidden, Undetected, flanking, or using surprise attack.
Evasion — When the gang leader rolls a success on a Reflex save, they get a critical success instead.
Light Blindness — When first exposed to bright light, the monster is Blinded until the end of its next turn. After this exposure, light doesn't blind the monster again until after it spends 1 hour in darkness. However, as long as the monster is in an area of bright light, it's Dazzled.
Nimble Dodge —
Surprise Attack — On the first round of combat, if the gang leader rolls Deception or Stealth for initiative, creatures who haven't acted are Off-Guard to the gang leader.
Brutal Rally (auditory, emotion, linguistic, mental) —
Gang Up — Any enemy is Off-Guard against the gang leader's melee attacks due to flanking as long as the enemy is within melee reach of both the gang leader and one of the gang leader's allies.
Quick Draw — The gang leader Interacts to draw a weapon, then Strikes with that weapon.
Sneak Attack — The gang leader deals an extra 2d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDAn Anvil holds enemies in engagement range, resolving the positional tension by giving the Flanker reliable flanking partners to trigger Sneak Attack.
WeaverLANDA Weaver manipulates enemy positions, funneling targets into the Flanker's reach and Gang Up formation to maintain off-guard coverage.
MenderLANDA Mender sustains the Flanker as it darts through threat ranges, addressing the durability tension created by aggressive positional play.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ low Will✖ poor initiative
