WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline draws attention so this precision-immune skirmisher can slip through dim light and pick off whoever is left exposed.

SnareLAND / AERIALA controller that restrains a foe keeps that target from escaping while this ambusher repositions freely, since its own movement doesn't provoke a reaction.
PUNISHES
✖ precision reliance✖ low Perception✖ isolated targets
