How to play against Venator
Combo: Venator catches you in a Snap Trap (immobilise 1.25s, reveals you), burns you with Consecrating Grenade (−30% healing), then executes you with Ira Domini under 8% health.
Beware: Watch your footing for traps (they last 30s). Avoid fighting near walls, where Gutshot stuns.
