QWhat it does
Lays down a rapid-fire turret with a pass-through beam attack. Up to 3 turrets active.
How to play against
Destroy the turrets first. Three turrets in a tight space deal enormous sustained damage.
WWhat it does
Fires long-range convergent rockets. The three rockets converge to a central point.
How to play against
The rockets converge — the centre point is the danger zone. Move laterally so they spread apart before reaching you.
EWhat it does
Lobs a grenade that stuns directly-hit enemies and slows surrounding ones.
How to play against
The stun zone is smaller than it appears. Move quickly — being stunned next to his turrets is lethal.
