Fam Tactics

The page contains tactics that are no longer part of the meta, but are preserved here for historical interest.

Introduction

Fam DoA tactics came together as a hybrid of French Tactics and other 6-0 tactics. This makes them easy to pick up for players who are used to other tactics.

Tactics specific to Fam Tactics

• TK Takes first snake, Caller takes second.
• Monk walls at 360, Emo fusepulls.
• IAU goes to cap rift while the monk stays at cave.

Optionals

• The VoR can take Overload or Cry of Pain. CoP is typically used by beginners for an easy spike rotation (1234).
  Take Ebon Escape or Return, depending on your free PvE slots.
• The MLK typically brings Ebon Escape, but it's possible to bring Shatter for a stronger spike.

Pros

• Edge of Extinction on Monk allows the Caller to spike without delay.

Cons

• No Arcane Echo on monk requires good Seed of Life timing.
