Loa DoA tactics are heavily inspired by those used by FBGM, but modified for increased safety and to counter the changes brought about by the AI update.

The main characteristics are jumps (EE, Recall or HoS) on every player and Edge of Extinction on the UA, which allows the Caller to have full Fast Casting, or bring Wandering Eye as an optional.

Tactics specific to Loa Tactics

  • TK Takes 1st Snake, Caller takes 2nd.
  • Edge of Extinction is placed in the middle of city, in range of both spikes.
  • Trench Tank and MLK should pop and kill Gloom trench if possible, even if late for 6-0, in which case UA and Emo will kill the front tendril.
  • At the start of Gloom everyone should jump up the hill, so that MT can pull the spirits towards the gate as a DC target for the Trench Tank

Pros

  • The teambuild is capable of a very fast run (low 23).
  • Shadow step on everyone
  • Edge of Extinction on UA allows Caller to spike without delay.

Cons
