Carry / support · Field guide
Weaver
Pressure a lane or backline from a hard-to-catch route and reset when enemies commit to the chase.
First check
Which control can stop Shukuchi, and where were you before Time Lapse becomes useful?
Play as Weaver
- Use Shukuchi to cross an observed route with a destination chosen before the enemy sees your movement.
- Place The Swarm on a target allies can continue to pressure rather than opening a fight alone from too far away.
- Watch your prior position before Time Lapse so the reset returns you to a safe fight or escape route.
Play against Weaver
- Carry detection and keep a second control ready for Weaver’s path after the first Shukuchi pass.
- Remember Weaver’s recent position before Time Lapse and prepare the next response around that location.
- Clear the wave he is using for pressure so the team can chase only when the objective remains safe.
Make the lesson stick
For three Time Lapses, mark earlier position, incoming threat, return location, and the next move.
