Whose ability should start the sequence, and who should follow? Combining distinct squad roles pays off in the satisfying moment when a planned chain delivers.
What makes it fun
Chain melee takedowns
Scarlett has a skill that refunds an action point when she kills an enemy in melee. Planning around enemy health and distance lets one takedown lead into the next.
Show gimmicks change the fight
Show gimmicks, including an incoming train, can change a fight as it unfolds. Revising your targets and positioning in response is part of the appeal.
