Pre-fight phase where all 5 players align positions, sightlines, and retreat routes before engaging.

Long-game management of team ult economy across fights — engineering favorable trades every round.

Forcing the enemy to spend an ultimate on empty space or a low-value target.

Switching mid-fight focus to protect a backline ally from a diving threat.

A call that designates which single enemy to focus, aligning the whole team's damage.

Shifting the entire team's focus to a new target when the original call gets saved.

Using a defensive ability (not an ult) to absorb an enemy ultimate, making it score zero kills.

Using your own ultimate to directly nullify or cancel an enemy ultimate.

Using your own hitbox to block an enemy sightline or path, absorbing damage or cutting off an escape route.

Landing a light debuff first to drain the enemy's cleanse (Suzu, Fade, etc.), then following up with the real payload.

Staggering defensive cooldowns across time instead of spending them simultaneously, sustaining the team through multiple burst windows.

Real-time verbal calls that synchronize when to engage, disengage, and align ultimates — translating information into action for the whole team.

The player with final tactical authority in-game — setting the macro strategy and unifying all calls.

Sharing the target's remaining HP so the whole team knows the kill is one shot away — synchronizing the finishing burst.

A pre-engage confirmation step that verifies all five players have their cooldowns, positions, and readiness aligned before committing.
