How you play Survival Hunter

Fight up close with your pet: each Kill Command makes your next 2 attacks stronger.

Your buttons, most important first

  1. Takedown when ready: your big moment. Press Kill Command just before it.
  2. The loop: Kill Command, then two other attacks, then Kill Command again.
  3. Wildfire Bomb and Boomstick whenever ready. Never let Wildfire Bomb sit at 2 charges.
  4. Spend the rest of your Focus on Raptor Strike. Every second one becomes Raptor Swipe.
More enemies: Same buttons, but Boomstick goes before Wildfire Bomb. Stand so their cones hit the whole group.
Biggest mistake: Pressing Kill Command too often: the extra Focus and power-ups overflow. Put two other attacks in between.

Hero talents

Sentinel (best this season): Takedown turns into Moonlight Chakram once; throw it before Takedown ends.
Pack Leader: when Howl of the Pack Leader lights up, Kill Command calls a beast. In Takedown, aim the Stampede line.

Dispel

From enemies: buffs you can take off

In the game this card knows your character. Every button shows the key it is on for you right now, the lists above drop whatever you have not learned, and your bags are checked for the consumables.
