Bait and Switch

🤜Setup:

• The Bait should have similar or slightly lower stats than the Target to make themselves an appealing fight for good Fair Fight (FF) bonuses

• The Striker(s) should have enough battle stats to defeat the Target

🤜Execution:

• Lure the Target: The Bait meds out first, drawing the Target’s attention (they will likely try to initiate an attack).

• Initiate the Switch: If possible, the Bait should attack the Target first—they don’t need to land a hit, just initiate combat to prevent being attacked first.

• Surprise Attack: Just after the Bait starts the fight, the Striker(s) should med out and immediately attack the Target, taking advantage of their distraction.

• Secure the KO: With the element of surprise and the Bait’s distraction, the Target should be swiftly defeated before they can react.

• Evade Retaliation: All members involved should immediately self-hosp or fly away to prevent counterattacks.

🤜Best Use Cases:

• Earning a retaliation bonus (if you hospitalize a target that attacked a faction member within the last 5 minutes, you earn a 1.5x respect bonus!)

• Setting traps for key enemy members who are actively hunting for targets

• Turning the tables on overconfident enemies expecting an easy fight

• Maximizing efficiency in wars by working together for quick, safe eliminations

• A well-executed Bait and Switch leaves the enemy dazed and outplayed, unsure of who they should be fighting next

• Pulling off group attacks when a bigger enemy is actively striking
