Season 10 – 4v4 Playbook

Quick roles, lane duties, and counters you can teach in 2 minutes, then refine in scrims.

Warbird (WB) — pressure & picks

  • Anchor midline, threaten MF strips, punish slow turns.
  • Peek-shoot windows on Terr/Spider rotations, don’t overstay.
  • MF is cheaper → build cadence: strip → single → reset.

Javelin (Jav) — area denial

  • Free XRadar: track sharks/terrs and time vertical bombs on slides.
  • Follow WB strips; pre-set bounce angles.
  • Cycle greens—bombs are peel; don’t starve.

Spider (Spi) — cuts & duels

  • Free Stealth: choose opening angles; toggle off to regen.
  • Offset strafes vs WB; punish after MF strips.
  • Commit off Shark emp/rep windows.

Leviathan (Lev) — positional torps

  • Torp to cut retreats off Terr slides; not raw picks.
  • Punish grouped resets at lane mouths.
  • FF discipline matters; call targets early.

Terrier (Ter) — anchor & tempo

  • Use ROF for tempo chips; rotate to energy pockets.
  • You set the fight timings; call sub-lane swaps.
  • WB MF & Shark emp windows—stagger, don’t overlap.

Weasel (WSL) — vision control

  • Harass 1v1s, trip flanks, relay XRadar calls.
  • Be motion-sensor + bite; don’t “afk stealth”.
  • Force resource usage before team engages.

Lancaster (Lan) — bounce-once bombs

  • Predictable once-bounce → trap slides.
  • Quicker delay: stagger with Spider for dual-lane pressure.
  • Rotate to angles; don’t mirror Jav.

Shark — peel & control

  • Energy/ROF tuned: peel smart; thrust for position.
  • Emp on WB MF windows; XRadar on calls.
  • Regen windows matter—communicate.

Recommended Resolutions & Scaling

Best experience at 2560×1440, 1920×1080, or 1600×900. Use Resizer (Crescendo) to unlock and scale cleanly. Prefer integer or near-integer scale; avoid blurry fractional filters. Consider borderless-window + VSync off (test tearing vs input feel).
