Loadout and gear
Use Breaker Cleave with Shield Bash, Bulwark, Aegis Rush, and Bastion Protocol. Four Cryo Warden pieces improve Integrity and barriers. Two Harbor Vanguard pieces add defense. Aegis Matrix can spread Shield Bash into clustered opponents.
Pressure and peel
Stand between the objective and the opposing push. Use Bulwark as they enter contact range, aim Shield Bash at the most immediate threat, and save Bastion Protocol for the next pressure window. Avoid overlapping brief stuns with a teammate’s control when a target is already held.
Use Rush to displace an opponent from an approach or to get back to cover. In Cyber-Arena, lead the early move toward the safe center. In Domination, force challengers to fight on your relay while a mobile teammate rotates.
Grudge and payload
In Grudge Pit, show a close primary attack to draw out an opponent’s movement before you spend Rush. On the Monorail, stay near the payload’s safe edge so a missed movement skill does not remove you from the contest.
