THE ENSNARING SPECTER

ROLE: Density Management / Decoys // ELEMENT: Strand

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

When enemy density gets overwhelming, Strand decoys are the best tool in the game. You leave clones to draw fire while your beyblades (Maelstroms) do the killing autonomously.

THE COMBAT LOOP

  1. Engage enemies with Quicksilver Storm to spawn tangles.
  2. Shoot the tangle to create a Whirling Maelstrom. The 200 Melee stat severely scales this damage.
  3. If fired upon, Dodge to create a Threaded Specter decoy and reposition.
  4. Foetracer grants 4x weapon surge for hitting enemies with Strand abilities, making your weapons hit like trucks.
