Game plan

Mandy fires candy shots whose range grows when she stands still and fills her Focus bar. Her Super is a very long blast that pierces enemies and goes through walls. She is a marksman who rewards patience and good positioning.

1. Stand still to charge your Focus, then shoot. Your range is only at its best when focused.
2. Pick spots where you can stand still safely, behind cover with a long sightline.
3. Use your Super to hit enemies hiding behind walls. It passes through cover.
