## Tips

1. Don't spam dodge when you get in a one on one fight with a Tooke(mystic) or John(brawler). Wait for them to start an attack and dodge accordingly. After, fire one or two shots preferably at their head. Rinse and repeat this and you'll win against those two classes in close quarters more often.
2. Marianne(Hunter) is very strong at taking enemies by surprise. While your team may push towards the nearest fortress entrance, try and memorize where the enemy team spawns and flank them. If you see more than one grouped together, follow behind them stealthily and wait for a straggler to split off. With the right perk combinations, she can be a menace to the enemy team by assassinating one opponent then activating her cloak and disappearing.
3. For "Silent Slaughter" to prolong your stealth you need to start the execution before the timer reaches 50% or about 33% if you are using the "Effecient Assasin" perk

## Trivia
