Co-op Synergies at Launch: Deflect Thornstorm & Bubble Juggles
By Community Team
Launch reviews already highlight a couple of real, reproducible duo synergies you can try tonight.
Thornstorm + Throwables (Deflect core)
One player leans into deflect‑triggered thorn projectiles (via Ritual), the other equips throwable damage/range multipliers. The result: safe screens of chip + stagger, setting up big finishers.

Bubble Trap → Wall Juggle (Control → Burst)
Use a bubble‑style trap to hold elites, then juggle them into the screen edge to extend safely. Swap roles depending on who has cooldowns.

Practical duo tips
- Call deflect windows: The deflect is generous, but announce when you're baiting swings so your partner is ready.
- Use vertical dodge when surrounded to maintain formation.
- Throwables are strong at launch and help crack shields before a finisher.
