WORKS WELL WITH

FlankerLANDA mobile striker forcing Off-Guard positioning helps this attacker's bite land more reliably to trigger Rend.
SnareLANDA controller that pins a foe in place denies it any chance to break away from the escalating Rend damage.

✖ repeated melee exchanges✖ low AC✖ isolated targets
