How to play against Holliday

Combo: Holliday lassos you (20m range; it pulls and stuns you for 2.25s), uses Bounce Pad to stretch the lasso longer, then headshots you with Crackshot.

Beware: Stay outside 20m and keep moving. She has only 2 stamina, so divers who catch her after she’s used it do well.
