V. Basic Gameplay
Your primary weapon is the Shortbow, focus on shooting Poison with Choking Gas and evading attacks with Disabling Shot, wait for the opportunity of, either stealing (= use Steal) someone highly dependent on boons, or Venoms when you have an ammount of players from your team high enough so that you believe using them will turn the tides of the battle.
Use the Sword/Dagger combination on escaping targets with Infiltrator's Strike. Feel free to evade and steal some boons with Flaking Strike if you feel skilled enough, and be ready to Cloak and Dagger + Tactical Strike a downed enemy to stop their annoying downed skills.
