Scarlet Phase-by-Phase Guide
Learn how to play Scarlet effectively in every phase of a Highguard match. Each phase requires different strategies to maximize Scarlet's potential.
Defense Phase
Scarlet's defensive contribution is limited, but she can help build walls efficiently. During this phase, study the enemy base layout through the map — you'll need to know where to phase through later.
Gear Up Phase
Use Sandstorm to scout dangerous areas safely and secure high-value loot. Your stealth gives you the confidence to contest hotspots that other wardens would avoid. Prioritize close-range weapons like the Kraken.
Shieldbreaker Phase
Scarlet excels at third-partying Shieldbreaker fights. Use Sandstorm to approach undetected, then unleash Whirling Blades when enemies are distracted. The reset mechanic can turn fights in your team's favor instantly.
Raid Phase
This is Scarlet's moment. While your team attacks the front, use Shifting Sands to phase through a side wall and attack defenders from behind. Coordinate the timing — your flank should hit when defenders are focused on your teammates.
