Power Cycle Protocol

Step 1: First Contact

Take the fastest available injury, not the fanciest down angle.

Step 2: Blood Map

Read where blood is being dropped and herd survivors toward defendable objectives.

Step 3: Power Window

During power, target leverage: stacked survivors, endangered hooks, or high-progress gen lanes.

Step 4: Cooldown Recovery

If power ends without a chain, instantly return to macro tools and rebuild pressure.

Build Selection by Problem

• Losing track between downs: Build 1.
• Gens flying while you set up: Build 2.

• Build 4: Bamboozle -> Barbecue & Chilli if routing is weak.
• Build 5: Blood Echo -> Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance for broader macro pressure.

Which Oni build is the safest default?

Build 2 is usually the strongest baseline for consistency.

Should I force snowball perks every match?
