  • Power read: She places and launches crows to scout, zone, and damage survivors.

Execution Sequence

  • Must-do opener: Fight for LOS denial, not extra greed loops.
  • Early-phase priority: Avoid linear objective routes with poor alternate exits.
  • Chase-phase priority: Pre-drop when line-of-sight is long and uncontestable.

Recovery Plan

  • Macro anchor: Favor gens with hard cover and safe rotate paths.
  • Most common throw: Looping low walls against ranged pressure. Fix: rotate earlier to high cover.
  • Fallback line: If your plan breaks down, play to predictable lane transitions and static objective greed. and refuse deny map space with crows, then punish forced movement.. Reset spacing first, then rebuild objective tempo.

At-a-Glance

  • Threat: High
  • Biggest danger: Crow zoning deletes safe transitions and creates unavoidable chip pressure.
  • Counter theme: Disengage from denied lanes and force longer setup shots.
