  1. 01SetupRead the team fight

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

    Continuum Split›Well of Action›Well of Precognition    Track stun breaks
  2. 02CommitProtect the winning trade

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

    Well of Action›Well of Precognition›Chronomancer skill 4    Do not overextend
  3. 03ResetRotate before the collapse

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