Play behind the frontline and shoot over it — his cactus only splits on impact, so he wants distance and a target that cannot close.
Drop the field on the objective rather than on a person, because its value is denying ground for its full duration, not the initial damage.
Common mistakes
- Standing at the front where any assassin removes him in one engage
- Placing the Super on a fleeing enemy instead of on the ground they have to come back to
- Firing at single moving targets where the split spikes mostly miss
