  • Avoid using Ace in th' Hole in large crew melees as it might be blocked by th' off course target.
  • Fire 90 Caliber Net astern from th' foe to belay th' gap or hop over walls.
Trick reminders

Against Jayce

  • Jayce can attack in melee or at range. Pay attention to his stance and weapon color to know how he be going to attack.
  • If ye see Jayce drop his Acceleration Gate, be careful, he be probably about to cast Shock Blast.
