  1. 01SetupEstablish your safety net

    Set up key boons and wells before the squad's burst, then use Continuum Split only when it creates a planned second utility window.

    Keep a defensive answer
  2. 02CommitSupport the event push

    Place wells where the subgroup will remain and use shield or focus control for scheduled breakbars.

  3. 03ResetRecover for the next wave

    Keep a defensive well, distortion, or portal answer for the next mechanic instead of spending all utility on permanent uptime.
