Loadout and gear
Use Phantom Edge, Shadowstep, Fan of Blades, Phase Guard, and Phantom Execution. Four Veil Circuit pieces add crit and movement speed. Two Cryo Warden pieces add Integrity if the exit fight commonly ends your attempt. Shatter Core leaves a delayed decoy behind your escape path. Keep Chain Reaction out of that native starter preset if you want the decoy, since the fan-blade branch takes priority.
Loot route
Check the cover route to the beacon before taking a decoder. Keep one Shadowstep for a return route and another for breaking line of sight if a rival appears. If a rival crosses the lane, Fan of Blades slows them while you change direction.
Use Phase Guard before you commit to crossing a threatened lane. At the beacon, let the immediate pursuit pass or force it away before starting the 15-second channel. Moving outside the 2.4 m radius or losing health breaks progress.
Siege window
If your faction is trailing and allied during a siege, check the faction view before chasing another runner. A Most Wanted target can draw the lobby away from the beacon, giving a carrier time to extract. Spend Phantom Execution only when it creates space you can use.
