How to play against Calico
Combo: Calico approaches unseen as Ava (hidden on the minimap), leaps in with Leaping Slash, which heals her if it hits, then throws Gloom Bombs that explode after a delay.
Beware: If she’s missing from the map, assume she’s coming; hitting Ava resets her speed. Return to Shadows makes her untargetable to escape a failed dive.
