In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Defenders and respect Seekers. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
Star plan on this page (“See client stars”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.

- Trinket — Focus Lens: Crit lens for physical carries mid-game. Best when universal crit budget piece — highest build count in the DB.
- Tarot — Temperance: Balanced mid-game tarot for flexible builds. Take it for flexible mid-game tarot when bis is missing — very high build count.

Team plan
Open Crimson Falcon into Defender-heavy packs. Bring a Watcher for uptime and a Seeker or Destroyer flex if the map punishes pure physical lines.
- Open with Flurry of Stabs when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Vital Guard) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Armor-Piercing Strike) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Count kill thresholds before committing—wasted openers cost the Act Again or NRG window.
