Usage

• Mainly spike with Forked Arrows + Savage Shot.
• Use Dual Shot as 2nd spike if you're hexed, or if called to spike faster.
• In relic runs, the number 2 & 3 rangers run with "Make Haste!" on themselves, cast by the Paragon.
• The runners chain Favorable Winds so it won't go down.
• Hex Breaker is to give Forked Arrow more chance to hit twice, as well as anti-snare for relic running.
• The caller uses Pin Down as a distance snare so the Rit (and itself) can snare the target more easily( since he needs to be close).
• The caller also uses Ward Against Foes (with 40/40) to snare opposing runners/give allies time to kite.
• Rigor Mortis targets who have stances such as rangers.
