"Things About Your Frame"

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

 

 

... by telling me things about your frame that you wish everyone knew in a squad to make your play easier and help you, rather than hinder you.

Like, for example, the fact that you can roll out of Limbo's limbo.

Or the fact that tonkoring a target that Inaros is in the process of eating hinders him.

Yesterday I was playing in one squad with a Pilf Swarm Hydroid for the first time and was unsure how to proceed... does it matter if I kill, or should I let him do the killing blows? Or just let tentacles grab the enemies and THEN kill them?

I bet every frame has at least something that one should know about it to play efficiently in a team with it.
