## Strategy

* Your songs are your main line of defense and offense; so utilize them as you need.
* Remember to keep at least one boost on you.
* Your songs have multiple purposes:
	+ Ruin + War is good to facetank, because the enemy will lose health by Ruin song and from your War's song damage,plus getting slowed, so it'll attack slower.
	+ Ruin + Heal is useful to kill tanks like Whales or Cachalots, and to slightly poison them down and regen yourself (when face tanking), and there's still a boost to use War song to prevent running/damage/run to heal yourself.
	+ Heal is useful for regeneration, but do not attempt to use it while bleeding, as you cannot heal when bleeding. Use this when your health drops below 40%, along with War. You can also use the Heal song while face-tanking to deal more damage while also easily regenerating health from attacks.
	+ Blast can be used to get away with War, but its most useful way is to immediately interrupt charged boosts, letting you get a few hits in before they can deal a lethal blow. The best animals to weaponize Blast against are Atlantic Torpedoes, Colossal Squids, Bowhead Whales, and Sharks. Since the Blast song has a radius, you can also use it in a pinch to escape being third-partied.
* Your main prey shouldn't be low-tiers that can easily boost away / hide, but rather high-tier prey or just other tier 10s.
* In PD, you are more of a supporting animal; you aren't a major source of damage, you don't have a great way of defending, but your songs, mainly Blast and Ruin, can help the team win.
* In 1v1s, try not to take too much damage, but dish out as much damage as you can. Using War for this is recommended.
* Against the Humpback Whale, any animals that are fast AND can inflict bleed, like Marlin, can hit and run the Humpback Whale, leaving it no easy way to kill its enemy.

## Trivia

* The Humpback is the only animal to have this style of ability. .
* A great counter to the Anaconda's ability would be the heal song, since the heal song regenerates more health then the Anaconda can take away.
* Since blast song got a huge nerf, the best general combat song combo is Ruin + Heal + War, because this causes you to do approx. 193 damage per hit, whilst also healing up (great counter for cachalot and whale, but beware, not a guaranteed win).
