- 01SetupPrepare group coverage
Position the mech before the group enters combat so its boons and support pulses reach the intended targets.
››Watch for forced movement - 02CommitStabilize the pressure window
Refresh key boons through the mech and weapon skills, then use Shift Signet to correct placement instead of chasing every movement.
››Commit only on a stable boss - 03ResetHold the recovery tool
Keep barrier or a defensive command ready for the next predictable pressure event.
