First check

Where are the Familiars, and can allies help them reach the next target or tower?

On your team

Play as Visage

  1. Send Familiars toward a real wave or catch while keeping Visage close enough to support them safely.
  2. Use Grave Chill on the enemy whose movement determines whether your team can continue the fight.
  3. After a pickoff, group Familiars and the wave at the nearest structure before defenders return.
On the enemy team

Play against Visage

  1. Track both Familiars and the hero; pressure the exposed part of the formation instead of following every unit.
  2. Clear the supporting wave so a familiar skirmish does not immediately cost a tower.
  3. Watch the Familiars’ landing and re-enter after their first control has been used.
