How to counter Kindred

  1. Ward her marked camps and contest them; marks are how she scales.

  2. Invade her early; she is a weak duelist in the first levels.

  3. Walk out of Lamb's Respite instead of fighting inside it, since nobody can die there.

  4. Dive her with gap closers: Dance of Arrows is her only escape.
